Frames made by CNC mill machine
I have got comment at my Russian blog with very good suggestion in my opinion. One of our collegues suggests me to use CNC mill machine for producing frames and cross-members for my KamAZ kits.
I think this will be a great desicion! In that case I can have not bad economy and can keep low prices.

Kit of DAF XF105 interior survey
Dear collegues!
I have almost completed kit of ‘DAF XF105 Interior’. Kit will contain inner walls of cab, corrected seats, doors’ trimming, beds, toolboxes under lower bed. But I have one very important for me question.
I would like to ask you: do you interesting in this kit? Please note – I am not talking about a price, just about a kit itself. Unfortunately I can’t install poll plugin for WordPress at both my blogs (Russian and English) so I placed this survey at A&N Model Trucks web-site. Please, check your variant in survey at an-modeltrucks.com. Thanks in advance.
And under the cut you can take a look at the current view of kit, if you would like.

News about 2 kits
I would like to share the news about 2 kits.
1. Renault Premium master-patterns are at casters now. Master-patterns were little modified for using Italeri’s DAF105 chassis like donor kit, also some details were changed for reducing cost of kit. I hope we shall get first mould soon. I shall post pictures of first mould as soon as possible.
2. I decided to resume producing the full resin kit of Russian truck KamAZ-54112.
Master patterns will be inspected and modified. First goal is to reduce the cost of kits; second goal is to fix some errors. Also I’m planning to use Italeri’s rubber tire for reducing cost of kits too. I know, that Italeri’s tires have different pattern, but I think the lower price better than correct tire pattern.
More news and pics as soon as possible.

There were possible to choose to use square tanks or side skirts, there were 2 types of air intake “snorkels”, there were 2 types of cab’s front corners, 2 types of grill. It was planned to produce this kit by KFS and sell it under TQ section.
