Almost there!
Yes....I have the first pack almost ready to ship. I want to send them out just right which all takes time, but all the molds are done and I have cast all the parts and built the kit up into a complete pack. I am just refining the mounting of the thrusters and missile, but basically its good to go! The second pack is close on too and the others will follow suit very soon. If I get chance I will get some photos up soon, just off to tinker will the fittings.

I intend to get the other kits built and shipped asap. I will pm the owners of these kits as soon as they ship with tracking info. Thanks for your patience once again. I am very excited to get these out to there owners. All subsequent packs should be much quicker now all the molds and finishing techniques are perfected.

Update
I have now got my sets of Aluminum beacon and stabilizer into production. This will allow me to offer it as an upgrade with all my pack kits, and produce the resin casts to complete the kits otherwise. The beacon is hollow inside to allow for a bulb to be positioned inside. I don't have the price just yet, but should have by Monday.
Here they are
