Yes, we will be there and will have new accessories and conversions; both in 48th and 32nd. We're ramping up for the Nats now, so most of the new items will not be available until then.

Also note we will be suspending production on all our current 48th A-10 and S-3 inlet sets.

Why are you suspending production on the A-10 inlets? Not a big seller? Revamping the parts?

Will you have any of the A-10 inlets at the Nats?

Sales have been steady (slow over the past couple of months) ever since they were listed, though the A-10 inlets tend to be more popular

2 reasons:
- Focusing production on new products.
- Due to some copyright issues, we are redesigning and improving all our 48th A-10 and S-3 Inlets. The current stock will be sold off at a reduced price (to be annouced soon) while we plan to have limited quantities of the redesigned A-10 and S-3 Inlet sets at the Nationals

32nd scale corrected A-10 Inlets and Exhausts will be débuted as well. 72nd A-10 and S-3 Inlets are planned for the late Fall.

Hi Mike

Good to hear about the 1/32nd A-10 intake correction set. I will not be able to make the Nats this year but maybe I can get my friend to pick up a set. I only have one Trumpeter kit and it is the two seater but I suspect the intake/exhausts have the same problems as the single seater. Probably doing mine as a what-if as that overall grey scheme does not really appeal to me

How many sets will you have available at the Nats?

Cheers
Chris

We plan to, though recent negotiations through a probable Japanese distributer may take most of the stock that has been built up thus far. A little unusual they requested double the order on the 48th Legacy Hornet intakes, A-10 inlets, 32nd Legacy Hornet intakes, and our 32nd Tamiya F-4 Intakes. We're trying to hold off till after the Nationals, but they are insistent.

If the quality is anything like the S-3 intakes they will be awesome.

I'm about burned out on S-3s, but I'm looking forward to the A-10!

We'll be making a lot of website changes when we get back; most of the updates will be new product links and changes to existing products. The Block 40 wheels will be included in the new listing.

What is your website address? I didn't realize you all had one.
