The last but one 1/48 He 177 moulding tool taking shape as you can see here, plus some more progress with the 1/72 DH.94 Coupé tool. Both these models to become available early next year. 

Would you say that the 1/48 He 177 project is a bit dragging on? Yes you might but it is not entirely true as the final two moulding tools are now being machined, the clear parts mould will get a new core and voila, then it is finished. What is more, yesterday saw one of the already finished mould tested. The result is here below. Some parts needs a bit of polishing, flashes will be removed and we will be able to check off another piece of the He 177 puzzle.

The other half of the 1/72 DH.94 Moth Minor Coupé mould is being machined as you can see in the attached report images from our toolshop. And the first half is almost ready for production. The last three pictures show the moulding tool cores being worked on - these belong to the 1/48 Heinkel He 177 project. Yes the Heinkel project is getting very near its completion and so it means the 1/48 Baltimore is next in the pipeline.
