Sergent Engineering has been undergoing a major retooling effort for the last few months. During that time we have had many inquiries concerning the future of Sergent Engineering. We have not been as diligent in responding to these inquires as we should be as efforts have been focused on getting running again. Rest assured. We are here to stay.
Changes to the final product are minimal from the modeler's perspective. This effort has been more to support long term manufacturing viability of the product rather than a step improvement in operation or realism. Have no fear. Realism and operation have not been sacrificed. Parting lines that used to show up on the outboard thumb side of the coupler are missing now. Fewer steps are required to assemble the kit couplers, too.
Like most things today, prices have been adjusted a bit. The good news is that the per coupler price of the compatible shank couplers has actually dropped a little. The bad news is that the price of the narrow shank couplers has gone up. Quantities per package have changed in many instances, so return customers should take note.
Some visitors to this sight will notice that the legacy product line no longer shows up in the product section. Those products have not been available for over a year, so we decided to stop teasing and remove those products from the website for now. The hope is that our new tooling for the existing products will reduce time needed for manufacturing efforts. That time will be dedicated to new product development using lessons learned from the current products.
Finally, like many products in the industry packaging is now labeled in accordance with the State of California's Proposition 65 Ruling to promote awareness. See the Safety link under the Frequent Questions menu to the left for more information. These products are not toys. Please don't eat them, lick them, or smoke them.
