When I have time ( every free minute ) it is taking about 1-1/2 days to make a kit. Some of the larger pieces need to cure out ( at least 3 days ) therefore I can not ship immediately.

These pieces if not cured will warp very easily.

So I am try to make them ahead of the smaller parts so they can cure. The Tiger kits actually seems easier to pour than the T-34 kit. Or it could just be my imagination. :shock:

The difference being I had extra time for the T-34 and I have almost no time to make the Tiger so I am doing a little every day after work.

Robbie P. I bumped you. :?[/quote]

Norman 888 and Grunt.

Your kits went out on Monday and you should be getting them soon.

There is a chance that I forgot to include the screw that holds the aluminum barrel tube to the mount.

Let me know and I can send you the missing part . If indeed it is missing.

Robbie your kit is next then on to the full builds.

Then it is Jagdtiger time !!!!!!!!!!!!!
