As a side note, any of these parts could possibly be available by themselves.  The hulls, front drive track, rear drive tracks, turrets, etc.

Once I have the mold costs, I can figure that out.  The only limitation is that my supplier prefers I use up the molds on a single order, basically 30+ pulls of each mold at a time.

As a side note, the Panther F turret with 76mm gun and extra armor should be in the company B shop by this weekend.

These are now in Production!

Each model will be $45.  So for everyone that has put a deposit, your cost is now $35 plus shipping.

For everyone that ordered, please send me an email with the Subject E-50M if you plan on ordering more than one model.

I do have the alternate rear wheel drive tracks and "F" Turret being cast at the same time.  So, if you would like that model as well, or would be interested in just the alternate tracks and turret, please let me know.  A set of just the tracks and turret would be about $15 plus shipping or alternately, the full tank kit would be the same as the standard model.

Shipping will probably start at $22 due to the size of the model.  Dual models shouldn't be much more, and any international orders can combine with any orders from the Company B shop to save some costs.

I suppose the Panther turret could be adapted for one of the Rubicon or Warlord plastic kits with no issue. I assume that they're selling the tracks/ turrets as only the one kit, as I wouldn't mind filching an extra set or two of the tracks for future projects. Would you be offering only the alternative tracks as part of this, or the ones which come with the E-50M?

Yeah there is always a git who wants to be picky.

Great! Now I may be being a little dense, I pre ordered, but am not currently in need of anything else - should I still email confirmation to you (I was after a rear drive Ausf M)? Are you going to invoice us directly or is it going through your store?

I will email/invoice everyone that pre-ordered.  So if you put money down, we can communicate once I start that process.

As far as selling bits and pieces.  Yes.  Once everyone has their full set claimed, I can offer bits and pieces to those who want them.  I think the best for that is to just put your request in on the invoices I send out.  A few folks wanted full sets of the Alternate model...so there will be a few sets of each track option and turret available as well.  Not many, but there will be "some"

For me, I know I want to model both options for my collection, so there's an extra set of standard tracks right there!

Ah right, actually do you have a comparison of the two different types of tracks available at all?  :)

Are we due to receive these emails at some point this week or so?

Yes.  The model is in casting...so I'm waiting of them to get the kits completed and in the mail to me before I say "lets' go"

I also still need to inspect the casting...check for issues, etc.  Though, I've used this shop on a lot of items already, so I expect everything to be smooth sailing. 

They also just shipped the last installment of our Panther F turrets for Company B stock on Monday.  So they should be 100% on this for the next week or so.

Uh...it's actually two E-50's  :D

And now that I'm fully versed in this 3D sculpting thing...many more to come.  Though I'm finishing a Train right now... not too mention the project has totally side tracked me from my GiJoe vehicle projects...

Latest news.  The E50 tanks (both versions) are in production and kit casting for pre-orders will most likely be completed by the end of next week.

As soon as the first batch is shipped to me, I'll post another update.
