News from Dave Diels

Hi All, Not much has been happening this year. Here is the 2022 rundown.

1. I am discontinuing the converting of the Grumman F7F Tigercat kit # 23 to laser cut kit # 23-LC. I discovered some problems to correct on the fuselage and I was too tired to stay working on it. It was taking all my design time with no time left for others. I am hoping to get back to it sometime in 2023. I am hoping for first quarter of 2024.

2. I've been spending most of my time finishing the two more conversions (Kit 26-LC F4B2C/Hawk III and Kit # 32-LC TBY-2). Both are 80% complete and should be finished late next year. I added some changes to both and need to revise the original plans for both. Had to stop on them due to shortage of printer paper and problem with my printer.

3. Started working on a laser conversion of another printwood kit while waiting for other things like working on family and house chores.

4. I completed restocking my shelves with all my current laser cut kits.

Right now is the time to order a kit or two. Prices have gone up for most if not all materials from laser cut wood to plans paper and even shipping boxes. I have not raised my prices and hope to keep the prices where they are now. I am expecting I will be forced to raise prices by the end of the year. I have all kits in stock as of today (10-24-22).

Thanks for your support.
