Have finished the periscope mounts for the cupola, it took some time to figure out how to make these work and how to hold them in place. I was hoping to use the screw and stop like the real ones, but could not make it work in this scale. As it is the detail included in the mounts is a time consuming process as each one is bent into shape, soldered and then additional detail added, with seven mounts for each cupola it will take more time than anticipated. The current price of the cupola will be honored until June 15, 2010, Then the price will increase to compensate for the additional time and parts for the periscope mounts production.
Resin casting mold for cupola bodies and hatch covers will be made next week. Estimated completion of current orders end of June.
