I’d have one! What about a Fries gantry crane as the next Kompact kit to tow behind it? Small geared electric motor to lift a Tigers Turret?

Hi again chaps

It should have read the WIFE will be happy for me to pay that amount for it lol .
Simon love the idea of the Crain.

Have a great weekend all

interesting model, start a list, get deposits sorted, whats the total price for the kit?, i would be in, as adrian said crowd funding takes the pressure off. regards simon.

Hi Simon and all

Definitely the way to go, if there is an actual list to put your name down to and when it reaches the 30/40 mark it could happen, it would also be good to get updates on the numbers too so we would know within a few months if it was realistic or not.

Looks like there is some real interest out there .... So far we are up to around 10 people who have expressed an interest in the FAMO ... so thought we should provide some more details, so that you can make informed decisions !!!

We have a cut off of at the end of Nov in order to get it into production by mid 2018. That means that we will need to have 30 confirmed bookings by end Nov, so we still have a few weeks to go.

If it looks like there is sufficient interest, we will open up to bookings in mid Nov '17 and, given the risk on this one, will be asking for non-refundable deposits at that time. Of course if people pull out at that stage and we cant hit the numbers anymore and don't go into production then deposits will be returned.

We still need to work through the costings on this, but it will likely be around the top end of the figures cited by Steve L in an earlier post. Will have the final pricing by the time we open for bookings.

If we cant hit the mid Nov cutoff, there is still hope for the FAMO, but production is then end 2018 or 2019.

Good afternoon gentlemen

It looks like we are in with a chance of a famo.
I have official confirmation from the boss that I am alowed to get one lol.
So I am in for a Defo .
No 1 Steve lew

Add your name chaps let's see if we can get enough intrest for it to go into preduction.
A big thank you to monike and kian for showing an intrest in our whims

Regards to all and have a great weekend.
Steve

I will have a FAMO please!

A thought....... since it typically required three Famos to pull one Tiger, would it be possible to design in a method of ‘linking’ Famos together, a bit like railway locomotives at the head of a long train, the lead Famo doing the steering and subsequent Famos ‘slaved’ to it? That way maybe we need three each!

So how many customers so far? Someone needs to keep a tally. I will go for at least 1 Looks like it just might happen after all those years of pleading! ...........Phil.

So far we are up to 15 people who have said they are interested in getting an Sd.Kfz. 9

Half way there !

Kian

Hi Kian,
Just to say my deposit for a Famo 9 is here waiting for the day.
All the best
Kevin

Hi all,
Just plugging the Famo 9 18 ton half track. We only need 15 more names on the list and we maybe get this fantastic piece of WW2 machinery in 1/6th scale. What a big imposing model it would be! An impressive machine that all who own WW2 German tanks would be glad of in their collection. A real must have.
All the best
Kevin.

I hope prospective buyers realize that it will be approx 4 ft 6 inches long. The real thing being nearly 28 ft long.

Dennis.

Hi all,
As Dennis says it will be about 4 feet 6 inches long. A big enough bit of kit to tickle our fancy, very imposing. Fingers crossed.
All the best
Kevin

It is true that the FAMO hull will be longer than any other kit. That is more attractive to me. "Size does matter!"

I'm in!

Amended. “I’ll be in, provided it’s late next year. My medical issues are hopefully coming to a head. If I can move properly, and if I’m not bankrupted after this next surgery...
