Lots of questions to answer.
I normally give discount to multiple buyers. I think the price point is low already $300 for the kit $400 for the full build.
I have not started making the moulds yet so trying to stick with the original price point is a " deal" already.
As stated before $300 of the unassembled kit $400 for fully built and painted model.
The landing gear will pop in and pop out. There was tons of work making all of the parts. Making them work well that is another story. The gear can be posed deployed or buttoned up. Modeler's choice.The way I have made them the only issue will be the main wheel covers. They snap in place but if deployed they need to tack glued onto the strut for display. All of the other linkages can be assembled with out glue.
The canopy will be vacuum formed. I made the pieces separate for strength and ease of painting.
You can always buy anything I make at any time . But it is always better to place your order during production.
I have a few guy's patiently waiting for their orders to be filled ( Indy side cars , Sdkfz 222 and M-10 ) after the 229 build. Hang in their guys not too much longer.
I think that covers all of the questions.
You hold outs can submit your deposits now.
Remember to get in on the $300-$400 sale you must be paid in full by the dead line . After I post that announcement. The sale will run about 2 weeks ( after posting ) once RTV is ordered . That will be approx in one week.
But you guys who can pay in full , you can do so anytime you want until then.
Thanks to all of you guys who have supported me with encouragement on this project. It was fun but it became long in the tooth . Aircraft seems so much harder to do than armor. My T-34 took about 6 weeks to build. I gave up keeping track of time on the 229.
Guys this thing does look cool and for you all who are getting just wait till you get it in your hands
