OK Guys ,

The hand is healed and I am almost caught up on everything.

Crazy Kraut Your huge order is filled packed and ready to go

Shomare we are still good for Christmas

Slogan I should be done with your order this week.

I will start on the Conformal fuel tanks today.

I am getting back on the Hind today as well.

I am pretty sure that the Hind will NOT BE DONE FOR CHRISTMAS but hopefully get close for January !!

One person, still recovering from serious physical injuries, is able to do all this, including a built from scratch Hind Helicopter.....and will probably get it all done before Merit can come out with a machine mass produced FW-190A that has been promised for going on three years now

Hey Guys my last update was back in November I just wrapped up a blitzkrieg of sales on e-bay .

I am trying to get out 2 large orders of tank kits . Hopefully they will be wrapped up this week.

HIND
I ran into a few snags on the Hind and I am in the process of working them out . The main rotor hub and landing gear. Minor changes need to be made and I am not sure what direction to go in. Who said this stuff is easy to do ?

F-16 Conformal Fuel tanks

I am close on these. Actualy one is done and I need to scribe the access panels on the other.

P-51 B Backdate kit

Time has been spent on this and I am almost ready to start cutting plastic. I would like to proceed more on the Hind and conformal fuel tanks before I start on this .

Marder I Marder II And Hetzer

Behind closed door negotiations are being made on these AFV s and collectors will come out the winners !!!

WW1 Line

The WW! line has been put on hold for now . I have about 2 full years to come through with this line before the 100 year old anv. runs out .

Sdkfz 251 radio version.

I have had a lot of interest in this project and have been a little cautious fearing that the antenna frame may wharp up. After seeing this picture I do believe I have nothing to worry about. So this is going to happen this year.



That is all for now.
