Wow! Great job! #35691, the weighted Sd.kfz.251 tires are phenomenal. I have a 251/1 Ausf D in the stash with road wheels and tracks completed and I'm definitely picking these up for it. Also, the "Continental" brand font alone is perfect and I'm amazed at the detail of the tiny iconic stallion logo.

Some interesting stuff. However I would like to see the "real thing" not only CAD pics before buying.

I agree 100%. FC offers some interesting items, but I can't buy any on their stuff based on CAD renderings.

IMHO, it should be a requirement that manufacturers provide actual pictures of their products for them to be featured here.

Preferably with a coat of primer as well to give us an indication of surface quality.

and then you still don't know if the castings that You are getting are just as nice as those featured in the advertising ...

What a great bunch of stuff that they're offering here! Love it, and I found the KV exhaust an excellent addition that'll save considerable time when building the Trumpeter kit, for example.

He is sending me some of the items, but from past experience I have yet to be disappointed with his provisions.

I'll be interested to see the Leopard grille when you get it Darren - I'm eyeing up getting a few of these.
