We continue to struggle with the J-58 engine in 1/23 scale. We never send models with printing process supports to customers because it's VERY easy to break fine details when are removed. Even knowing the pieces it happens to us sometimes. So we prefer to deal with the breakages ourselves and manufacture a new model immediately if necessary. With the J-58 the huge amount of piping and details is making it an enormous task to assemble support structures that always work without breaking in the printer and while are removed. However, we are very close.
Meanwhile, we have received a request from a customer that does not seem difficult to develop in the middle of the job list.
We have been asked for our avionics compartment and exterior details of the Mirage IIIE but for 1/48 scale by a customer that already purchased them for the Italeri kit in 1/32 scale. They will be available this week in the store, although in pre-sale mode until we manage to print all the pending orders for the J-58.

In the case of the exterior details, could not be possible to include the emergency pilot rescue handle due to its size of a few millimeters in 1/32 scale, but we will try.
