    A few months back there was talk about a kit for a SW 1. Is this still in the works? Does anybody know where there are pictures of the kit if indeed it is availble? If anybody already has one, how do they look/run? Thanks in advace for any input.

    The last time I talked with Lajos Thek, (Lay-O-sh) he had said it was looking like thy would be showing up in May sometime. He also said that at first it was going to be a kit, but later that the mechanism would have to be sent to him for modification because it was too hard to do the mod without some special jig he made for the job.

    Jim Manley and myself had offered to do the beta testing, but Lajos had not replied to that one yet.

    Lajos is also planning some new resin automobile kits soon, and from the looks of them I will need plenty.

    Here is the web page where he has it posted:

    Lajos was on the chat again this morning, and said he is so busy filling european orders that the new projects are on the back burner for a while. He has a number of items that are a bargain for the Europeans due to exchange rates, so he is busy trying to fill all the orders.

    Lajos did say that Z-thek will have the SW-1 and the automobiles showing at the Z Scale convention this summer, so they are still coming, just not as fast as we had hoped for.
