Hello John. Why don´t you send this information, together with some images of the parts, to one of the armor staff members, and they will make a proper news item.
This thread will dissapear into cyber space very quickly, whereas a news item is tracebale, and Im sure folks will want the ability to check them out, now and in the future.

I just ordered all the ASLAV bits from you, can't wait to finally get to see it. I definitely agree that this release should have some fan fare. It is a real boost to the modern builders looking for something different to build. I look forward to you guys tackling the Recovery and Fitters version. Hows bout some slat Miloslav????
Congratulations
Bill

Images sent to editors.

When you are considering making masters you are spoilt for choice - like someone building a Bushmaster. We have an extensive building plan planned for the next 12 months. We generally like to keep these to ourselves so as not to get peoples hopes up too oearly.

We do have a mailing list for those who want to be notified of coming releases first. ([email protected]).

We also would like to hear what products you would like to see( same email address above).

I am off for a couple of weeks

Thanx for your advice and interest.

For those waiting for the APC set to arrive you won't be disappointed. Mine turned up today (along with the ASLAV 25) and my jaw hit the floor.
Great level of detail and minimum of clean up, the pictures on the Mouse House site doesn't do the kit justice.
Congratulations John (and Jason).

I was planning to build it for the Wheeled AFV / Tracked APC campaign, but October's a long way off.

Can you post some pics as to how they look pre build? I'm jealous you got yours already, mine left last week so I have a ways to go. Please keep us in your build loop.

Hi Bill
I've taken a few, not the best lighting I'm afraid but they'll give you an idea.

I am impressed. I was a bit worried, to say the truth,when I say the built up model promo from Mouse House but the casting looks sharp and clean, I don't mind a bit of flash. I guess you'll know when you begin to build if anything is warped, thanks for taking the pictures, I can't wait to get mine.
Keep us posted will you?
Regards
Bill

G'day Ray,
Yes you can open the front two hatches. I cast it thin enough to do this. The rear one is a bit thicker but shouldn't be to hard to open.

Cheers Jason
