They are very close to release. The plastic parts shoot. The header cards are printed. The first sheet of production etchings are on order and I should have them next week. Assuming everything fits, I can start packing and release them. It has been a long time coming so be patient. I'll put out an announcement when they are available.

Hot Dog Diggity!! I was just about ready to glue a P2K round top in a place where all the fans around it are Cannon, so I'll be a bit more patient. It's a GP35 where the middle fan (real world) was delivered and remains to date a round top.

Dave Hussey Cannon and Company In other words, he want us to keep our cool... ;D (Get it? Fans... Cool... Never mind. Although an early Cannon ad did say "Go ahead, pick your nose!") Dave- Thank you for all the effort! These fans will be stunning, without a doubt. Any chance you would consider doing a pan or flat top fan, like the style that was on the last phase GP9?

Would the 48" cap top be correct for the cooling fans on phase 3 GP9s and the last phase SD9? The page says dynamic fan, so I was just curious.
Either way I'll find a build to use some of these on.

Here is the Cannon page. I know you guys have all hit this page already, but just to reinforce the interest... cannonandco.net/What_s_Coming.htmlAnd then on this pbase photo page is a pic of the 36 and 48" cap top fans next to a couple boxcar ends. There is also work by some guys I recognize from here one level up of that photo set and some other interesting items. Also, there are links to other such pages as well. www.pbase.com/espeef5/image/144281108patience... lol

Yes I see them on Cannon's web site!!! What I'm wondering is if I can put the 48" dynamic fan top on a 48" radiator bottom and vise-versa? It seems like this would be just as common of an arrangement.

Dave,
First off I would like to thank you for producing these parts. I've been waiting a long time for these part to come out. For me it was worth the wait these are great and including the tool to make the fan guards was a great manufacturing plan. I'm putting these to good use on a couple of builds. Forgot that I'm going to need at least 2 more sets.

Ah, I reread deez' question. I will have the same thing coming up on the gp35u as the prototype has 48" cap top fans on the radiator section. Are these the same as the 48" dynamic break fans but repurposed for the radiator section?
