The Watkins kits were literally a "garage" industry. From what I've been able to determine, H. G. Watkins passed on in the late 70s, and the model line died with him. Several of us have made attempts to locate and contact his heirs with no luck. As most of the copyrights for his kits were prior to 1976 and have not been renewed, it looks like most of them are now public domain. Every so often some of the kits show up on Ebay, but should be considered as collector's items rather than building kits. The series was developed for war gaming props rather than as "serious" scale models, so don't expect fidelity to scale should you luck onto one of the kits.
