Finally solved the hose problem on the Feifil unit and everything is now ready for production. First I will fill current orders for this set which will take about 4 weeks as I have 12 sets to cast. Plus filling other orders and finalizing the Panther cupola. I can take orders for the Feifil, but delivery will take about 2 months.

New artwork for the photo-etched parts for the Panther Cupola, Panzer III parts and Tiger 2 Grills are now with the photo-etch company along with restock parts to fill orders. I have about a week or so that I can increase quantities of things like Tiger 1 Mudguards and Stowage Bin, Tiger 2 Grills, Panther complete accessory set and grills. If you need any of these parts and have not ordered, this will be your last chance for some time as I do not expect to place another order for a few months.
I was planning on having a new catalog and price list published by April 1st, but with my work load it will not be possible. However a temporary price list will be published in the next few days which will take effect on April 1st. Several items have price increases. You can still order parts at the current prices, but a deposit is required by April 1st to confirm order. Please note that as of April 1st my products will only be sold as complete sets as listed in my catalog.

Here are a load of pictures of the production set built on a FOA Tiger 1. Many parts are not permanently fix, just rested in place but I think you can see how the set looks once assembled and fitted.
Only hooked up one chain on the covers as I did not have my reference book with me when building, all six chains with have a screw in eye bolt for the chain.
Hose clamps are over size, not possible to make is smaller and functional.
The hoses are resin cast which can be formed with slight bends to follow the contours of the rear deck. Directions on how to do this will be in the assembly instructions. I have had several inquiries about purchasing just the hoses. Sorry but they will not be sold as a separate item, I am sure you all understand my reason for this.

Here are pictures of the set, not shown in the pictures, but included with the kit are the nuts, bolts and lock washers. This set is not offered assembled as the only way to assemble it is on the tank.

Some happy early Tiger owners out there no doubt.
