Here is a update on orders and production since the beginning of the year. With the overwhelming orders I have to complete, several new parts and outstanding products have been put on hold until I am able to fill most of the current orders I have.
These products require new photo-etched artwork and new molds to be made, both these tasks take a lot of hours of work. Here is a list of these products, which may take two months or more to complete. If your order contains any of these parts you may elect to wait for your complete order or request all other parts be shipped to you as soon as possible and the parts listed below be shipped when ready. I will cover the cost of the additional shipping.
1. Tiger 1, 2 and Panther Blowtorch Heater. All metal parts cast, photo-etch artwork for tray to be completed.
2. Tiger 1 and 2 Muzzle brake. Masters for making casting mold to be finished, photo-etch artwork to be done.
3. Kubelwagen Tank Cold Start. Some new masters to be made for metal casting. All photo-etched parts in stock.
4. Tiger 2 Rear Mudguards. Photo-etch artwork to be completed.
5. New design Tiger 2 road wheel hub lock bars. Photo-etch artwork to be done. These will replace parts in all delivered orders and new orders. I made the original ones to wide.
6. Stug III Parts. Photo-etch artwork to be done for new fittings.
7. Kubelwagen MG 34/42 gun mounts. New product. All masters and photo-etched artwork to be done.

9. IR Scope for the Panther and Sd251. New product. All masters and photo-etched artwork to be done.. Prototype made.
Photo-etched parts, I have 27 sheets of 12" x 18" of photo-etched parts being delivered this coming week, that's over 40 square feet of parts. These parts will complete all current orders to date, however the parts have to be sorted and bagged for orders which is going to take a couple of weeks.
Parts assembled or kits bagged for current orders.
