Glad you like the vidoe. As I use that tool more, I learn something each time. There are so many different ways to add to the review to improve them.
Plus...I have even larger plans...but that is a few months away!

WOW look at that! and a ready made dio as well - perfect kit, and perfect subject. The ATF was my most satisfying build ever, even I couldn't mess it up.
Keep it up BFM, keep me happy.

Thanks for the complements, gentleman!!
About another run of this kit.
I have been receiving quite a few emails about the kit(sorry for all the late replies).
It just depends on how many request I receive. If I get 30, I will do a new mold.

Hi All,
I have received enough orders to reissue this kit.
So, the ASR-12 will be available again.
Thanks to all who ordered a kit, I am sure it is due to the first class review by Jim.
