Hi elric, Good to hear from a fellow joint record holder…I wonder who the other four are? I’ll let you know if/when mine arrives My best guess is that having arrived on a weekend the pallet was shifted into a gloomy corner of some shed and there it still sits… Doesn’t fill me with a great deal of confidence for the Neptune and Drakens that are due to follow I hope JetMADS get a better response from Royal Mail than I did. I’ve got a similar problem with an order from Phase Hangar but at least RM have acknowledged receipt…twice…thirteen days apart, then tumbleweed since 25th March. Luckily an order from Jan Kopecky zipped through without issue, phew. To date I’ve been lucky with almost anything from Europe, China, Japan, Australia, New Zealand etc…sometimes even arriving quicker than domestic post…seems to be more problematical if the origin is the US and Turkey Keep those fingers crossed, Rick (Day 72)

47 days and counting since mine was shipped to the UK…strong contender for a new record

Superb build and finish - you must be overjoyed

Email sent, thanks for the mention Rick

10523 here, they estimated my shipping between 16-20th Aug, so should hear something soon

And mine - huge thanks to all involved in getting these safely into the UK

D'oh! Responded to the PM before I read through these posts. I have put my name in the notes bit so I hope that helps Sorry, Rick

Great job. PM inbound Thanks, Rick

And another

Funds incoming. Thanks for sorting, Rick

Received my sets from Ali yesterday - beautifully cast and crystal clear Rick

I would chase them up Alan (after checking your junk Mail etc), in all of the dealings I’ve had with them they’ve typically replied to my emails within a day Rick

PM to Phartycr0c re masks

Hi Ali, I can do that, saves Anthony sending his halfway around the world...I’ll PM you unless you beat me to it...Rick

Ant, from your photos I'm leaning more towards surgery than butchery for that effort, a gutsy move Rick

Or, even better, 1/24

Hi Jan, Mine arrived safely today - superb set of parts - thank you Rick

Two sets added to my Hannants back order list, thanks for the heads up John

I’ve got the set, will dig them out when I get back from work Rick

Love it, and welcome back

RWR fitment to the fin top

Cool, a 1/24 from Airfix will do me very nicely, will be a great pairing with a 1/24 EE Lightning

Andy, That is a special build, your jaw must be aching from all the grinning at that result, outstanding work. Thank you for sharing your work along the way I, and no doubt several others, will be dipping into this thread when it makes it's way onto the bench Rick

Absolutely stunning Chris, if the one in my stash scrubs up half as nicely I will be rather happy - being something of a 'fraidy cat I will probably opt for a less taxing scheme - thank you, and the other guys I'm following still at the WIP, for leading the way, i have learnt a lot from this process Rick

Looking really, really good, and to echo the earlier posts don't mess with the mottling... :)
