Will be there all weekend

Have now managed to get things sorted through a third party shop stocking the decals cost a few extra € for postage but at least it’s now done. thank you for responses.

Hi Guys I am in contact with the owner of Uprise decals and unfortunately all access to buying is currently restricted due to events in Europe. He has suggested if I had a friend in Country who could buy them and forward them this may work. Therefore, I am asking for any LSP modeller in Russia who can assist to let me know please? I hope this all makes sense? I have funds waiting to transfer and this would need to then be used to buy the decals and forward them to me. The reason for this is that no one outside of the manufacturer has the decals I want available. Any assistance would be appreciated

Not been here for a while and was pointed to this post I would defiantly be in the market for at least one or two sets!

Bravo sir, your work is superb!

That’s the sort of prices I was getting . I need to investigate further. Are the prices in the first page you did for U.K. to Kazakhstan?

Hi guys I have a customer who lives in Kazakhstan and postage is really expensive via parcel force(EMS) DHL, UPS I have even looked at eBay global shipping and they don’t go to the country nor do DPD. I am kind of gong round in circles looking for an alternative good price from the U.K. the size will be 6.5kg 110cmx 40cm x 45 cm. if anyone knows of a courier or postal service that can offer a good service and price please let me know, who knows this may also be beneficial to other overseas customers. thank you in advance for any assistance you may offer?

Just to add insult to injury the box arrived soaking wet and looked like someone had played football in a swimming pool with it. The box was sodden and soaked through. The instructions have just about dried out now . Luckily the decals survived although one wing which was at the bottom of the box did not. There were other smaller damages but nothing I can’t repair it’s just that wing is a mess. I’ll be emailing Jetmads for a replacement along with images and keeping my fingers crossed that the second kit doesn’t become the same fate. Trying to make a claim even though the postie said I should do so and she backed me up on the state it arrived their website will not allow you to proceed if it’s come from outside the U.K. what’s really annoying is that it took near,y 6 weeks to do the same journey that others have had done in 5 days!

Looks like finally Royal Mail have my first kit and it’s not too far away from me. Unfortunately Royal Mail stated that it had not left Turkey after Turkish post had tracking until it left. I have no idea of where it went for nearly 6 weeks in the interval. I suspect it was sat in some corner of a Royal Mail centre and as they did not scan it there was no record. Fingers crossed I should have it soon.

Please note that this current situation is not Jetmads having done anything wrong, it’s their postal service they are using. I have had a reply they are investigating and will report back. It seems that there may be other U.K. customers who are in the same situation as me.

Just my luck I have still not received my first kit sent 30/08/2021. Checking daily there has been no update and having just spent 35 minutes on the phone to Royal Mail they are saying it’s not even left Turkey!!! Aaarrrrrgggghhhh! ☹️ not impressed at the moment so an emai, has been sent to Jet Mads I shall await the reply and fingers crossed an update and solution.

Don’t hold your breath mine was despatched 30th August and tracking stops as soon as it left Turkey. Here we are some 21 days later and nothing more on the tracking and no model yet! It really is not a good system they are using when it takes so long with no up to date tracking as well. I am going to email them later this week after 25 days and ask them if they can look at using another courier such as DPD who I used a long time ago internationally with good prices as well as speedy delivery. My suspicion is that they are not being sent airmail rather surface!

I am thinking that I will probably use casting resin for a glue. Essentially this is a two part mix which should be similar to the material of the parts. I did it on my build of the Dargon Rapide as I wanted strength in the mid spine joint. I ended up using the same resin for the wing joints. Worked a treat and is so much stronger than superglue or epoxy. the other possible alternative is to use the 3D uv printing resin set with a uv lamp but I am yet to try this method on a kit.

Nice Beaver!

Just got an email my ordered kits will be in the post on Monday. Good news is that I have a commission to do a preview as well as a full build for Tamiya Magazine. my order number was 10526. looks like the kit left Turkey late Aug 2021 and tracking has stopped after that. I am hopeful that it’s in the U.K by now and clearing customs etc soon as it’s been here for over a week now! Royal Mail are listed as the operator this side but their tracking doesn’t even show it’s arrived yet. My fingers are crossed my first kit is here shortly!

Anybody got their hands on this kit yet, I am sure like many I am a little nervous having had no actual sightings of the kit they sent out last week on the net! I was told I would get my two sent out this week but no notification of despatch yet.

Awesome!

It is the bayonet mount for my 600mm f4l is and is part number YF2-0128-000. If you cut and paste the reference part number you will see the part. I may have found another source but am waiting an email confirmation of stock, however if you had that part please let me know. I had a fall and the lens and camera took a bit of a hard landing onto me last year. I did not notice that there was slight bending in one of the lugs and recently I used the lens for the first time in a while. I found there was some wiggle between the body and lens and at one point lost connection and got an error message which was no communication with the lens. So I checked the mountings and on close inspection not only was there a bent lug but a minute split at the end of the bent part. hope this all makes sense. In doing my research this lens will not be repairable by Canon as they class it as obsolete and at £78 per hour plus parts plus shipping I found that it could easily be repaired by myself. At the same time I will replace the weather seal as that had a slight split which is a common issue.

Hi Guys not 100% modelling but loosely linked! I am in need of a part for a camera lens which I have found on line in Australia. The part is technically obsolete so worldwide spares are rare. It is the back mounting bayonet ring for a canon lens. This is s simple ring of metal that has been machined and is no more than 10cm x10cm x1 cm. weight wise less than 100grammes. Issue is the seller will only sell to Australia and not internationally. So in essence I am after a friend here on LSP who would be happy to accept the item delivered and simply re address it to me and send it on. I can pay several ways including PayPal friends and family or direct bank transfer. Of course I will have paid for the item and delivery in the first place to an Australian address. I will of course cover costs of postage and any petroleum that may be needed to drop it at the post office etc. hope that someone can assist me please. regards john

Very keen to invest but I suspect like many others I would like to see the actual printed article. Please show us the printed product ? either on your website or on here and that will assist sales I am sure.

Had the Reskit wheels arrived last week and they are much better than the kit versions. Chalk and cheese. I would suggest you also consider the Aerocraft nose leg to give support at the front.

Am in the same position as you not sure the detail sets are out yet?

Let us all know when you have a site up and running I have two of those kits to build!

Mine arrived yesterday as well. Just a thought to U.K. modellers, I did some research and found that goods with a value of less than £136 should not get routinely stopped if coming from the EU. For VAT and handling fees! john
