Taurus Models is burning the midnight oil to get out their new releases.
"I'd like to inform the modelers about my future releases. Maybe somebody is modeling the beautiful WNW Gotha, and do not realize, that within a few days the upgrade kits will be available.

So my next products will be:

controls with taps for WNW Gotha - my friend asked me about this - this element is little simplified in the kit and difficult to paint. The product has been just casted, I need only prepare the labels and instruction. You can see it (both: casts and original element) on attached picture. The product will be available within 2-3 days.

valves and lifters to Mercedes DIV engine (designed to be used with WNW Gotha). In my opinion this element is to simplified in WNW's model. I compared this to real Mercedes DIV (in Krakow museum), and I think, that good idea is to prepare this with complete valve timing gear. I'm currently working on this element. I'm not sure to release only valves and lifters, or with timing gear. As the attachment You can find the picture of real part. This kit will be available within a week or two.

ammunition belts. Another products at modelers prompting. The reels for parabellum guns are casted with ammunition belts . . . the end of August.

That's all, I'm preparing for Gotha (so far). Next kits will be: Vickers guns (few types), valve timing gear for Mercedes DIII engine (not DIIIa), another types of spark plugs (I released early German spark plugs with "fat" ignition coil) and a lot of interesting things both in 48 and 32 scale.

Thanks a lot and best wishes, Lukasz"

Taurus Models really have seen a market and good on them for catering for our needs. It makes you wonder if you should scratch upgrade or wait a while, so many subjects and all so nicely done. those lifters, I really didnt like WNWs portayal and tried thinning and detailing my Rumpler ones. These would look exquisite but really should come as sets along with springs etc hopefully. Hoping for early Merc. D.III central lifter armed boxes, now that would be neat, even WNW's lack in this area. Exciting times. Keith
