Frank, In as much as you appear to correspond with SkyBow from time to time, can you give us a clue of when we might see their next release; the Firefly ? And, if I may ask, have you had the chance to examine any pre-release sprues as you did with their tigers?
Thanks, Emil
Hi Emil,
yes - we shall get the sprues of the forthcoming Firefly kit, but haven’t received them yet. The guys from Skybow are very busy at the moment as they work on the upgrade stuff for the Tiger I kits (tracks, PE, etc.) as well as on the Firefly Vc and simultaneous on the other new kits.
Will try to post some updates in the future!

Hello Frank, Based on the release time consumed with the Tigers after you examined their sprues, would it be fair to expect the Firefly to be available by late August assuming further mould corrections aren’t neccessary?
Thank you, Emil
Mould correction is a bit a problem as the reaction is sometimes a bit slow. The last mistake I pointed out to them was corrected only two weeks before revised samples were send out. Yet, although we listed them all faults of their Tiger I kits, they didn’t correct them all. Maybe because it would resulted in a new delay and/or because it was to difficult to change. But these are minor things.
Guess, I should learn Chinese:-)

P.S.: At least you now can build a Firefly IC as the new turrets from MR Models are out by now. Should receive the samples of the Firefly and the 75 mm turret with the M34 mantlet tomorrow among other stuff.
Will send them out to Terry - so you can expect to see a review at PMMS!
