Thomas Lund Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Ken - Excellent news - I'm so happy. Who sells PCM kits in Europe. I know from past experience that buying one in the US is rather expensive if the costums guys notice it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aptivaboy Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) Not that I'm trying to cheat Customs, but is there a trick to not having Customs recognize it? If there's something that they usually don't notice, but its legal - no deliberate fraud or anything like that - then perhaps that could be an option to get the Tempest? Any ideas?? Sorry, no thread hijack intended; just thinking aloud about how to help our European friends. Bob Edited May 12, 2013 by Aptivaboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I don't know a delicate way of asking...but is this a completely different kit than the 1/32 Special Hobby kit that is due to be released at the same time? All these years of waiting for a 1/32 Tempest, and two are being released at about the same time? Remarkable....in a good way. Now I have to decide which to build.

Yes, it is. Ken confirmed that the PCM kit is being tooled by Sword. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Lund Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Relish Models has been mentioned. Thanks - just went and checked it: Their selection in 1/32nd was less than impressive. Loads of models listed, but very very few - 5(ish) - in stock... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Waited this long eh? A little while longer dont think will hurt....................... Yes....true... But I have to admit the child in me hates it when release dates keep sliding back. Sort of like being a kid and they keep moving xmas morning. I do freely admit it is childish...but I have been waiting for a Tempest for a long time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) Yeah, I do know the feeling. Especially when you have the extra loot to get what you want and its not available to buy. Sometimes by the time it IS available the money to buy it is gone. I dont think Ill have any such issues with the Tempest. I have a great enough interests in it to definitely plunk down the money for a kit that comes with all the extras this one does, but its not on my all time must have list so that "got to have it yesterday" feeling is not there. As a matter of fact, since my current build has been so long and large and quite taxing, Im even thinking about a nice OOB build next like the PCM Tempest that comes with all the cool AM already in the box.
