Thunder Valley F1 ®

The photo etch for the Lotus 99T is in production and we hope to see it in about 4 weeks (mid-June). The other components should be finished around the same time. Further updates to the site will begin around June 10th with new images coming of the improved photo etch for the DFV engines, metal zip ties and more. Presently I am pushing very hard on finishing up the McLaren MP4/6 Brake Sets and the first batch of Set 1 for the Williams FW14B. Summer is going to be a rough time for getting work done as the school years ends June 9th. but I will keep working weekends and evening as much as possible. I will keep everyone advised of everything that is important, otherwise, if anyone has any specific questions please let me know. A new e-mail to be used for the company is: thundervalleyf1@gmail.com

We are in the final steps of completing Set 1 for the Williams FW14B kits as well as wrapping up the McLaren MP4/6 Brake Kits. The Lotus 99T kit is very close to production and we are planning to begin that phase in two weeks.

Through the summer months we will be focusing on updating the web site, finishing the instructions for all existing products, having the McLaren MP4/6 kits ready for early fall and eliminate our production problems by the end of the year.

We are presently reviewing all operating expense of the company and implementing several changes, with only one slightly impacting you, our customers, in that our fax number is going away. Over the last several years it’s use has declined to the point where it is no longer a benefit. Additional changes are limited to some of our service providers, where, in the end, we will be reducing our operating expenses by a significant amount. These savings will allow us to avoid raising the price of our products and this is good news for all of us.

We are moving foward with the sale of another company so we can focus all of our efforts on developing new products for Thunder Valley as well as the purchase of additional equipment to increase our production. We are adding some new technologies for use in the development of our products, which we are very excited about. We will post a special announcement in the near future to give you glimpse of what is to come.

Right now, the future for the Formula One modeler is rapidly improving and we are delighted to be in the pole position.

We are making some changes which will allow us to decrease our operating costs and continue to keep prices as low as possible. One of these improvements is the addition of a alternate e-mail address for the company. It is: thundervalleyf1@gmail.com All other e-mails will continue to work and will stay active. If anyone has experienced a problem with e-mailing us we hope this new address is helpful.

A news update will be coming soon on the Lotus 99T. It is going to be a fantastic kit!

Best Regards,

Paul
