LSP_K2 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Similar issues here. The other day the doorbell rang, I dashed upstairs and when I opened the door, he was in the process of writing a note for the door. He says UPS recommends no more than 10 seconds waiting on the porch for the drivers, and I believe that. I've also had packages reported as delivered, that actually show up one or two days later.

Out2gtcha Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Same here....................albeit its been Amazon for me lately, and their drivers do NOT wait 10 seconds. They take a flash picture of the package delivered on your porch, or wherever they drop it, and they are OUT.............and I mean in a flash. We had some LP hoses and a new large tank adapter delivered yesterday, and I was about 15 feet from the door and saw him drop the package off on the front porch. I immediately went to the door and he had already taken the picture and was about 10 steps from getting back in his truck. scvrobeson and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogier77 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I miss the French nuclear missile for the N version. That is very unfortunate. What is also not in the box are the pilot figures. In recent months you have seen photos on various forums with a pilot figure. So it is not in the box. I personally think this is a miss. Oh well, you must have something to wish for right?

Its my understanding from talking to our local FedEx driver, that they and UPS only ring the door bell or interact with the recipient if a signature is required. Otherwise they simply drop it and go, it saves them time and time is money to them. In my case, that has sometime meant at my front door, at the end of the sidewalk near my garage, or in one extreme and snowy case, in a bag hanging on a fence post near the road. Also, our guys have a bad habit of leaving boxes on top of the communal row of mailboxes where everyone actually gets their letter mail. This isn't in town or in a secured location or anything, but a row of about 20 mailboxes along a side country road that anyone in the area, or just driving by, has access to. The joys of living in the country... Edited March 26, 2020 by eoyguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 According to HK Post tracking, my Mirage 2000C has left HK after a fourteen day wait, at least it's going to be delivered by Royal Mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 As far as I can tell, and someone with the D can correct me, I think it like the single seater only comes with one pilot. KAGNEW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pilot is not included in the D/N boxing. You only get the resin exhaust. jgrease and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discus Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) Seems the issues with delivery guys are the same all around the globe. I try as much as I can to have the package delivered into a pickup location (local post office, shop, amazon locker, etc).

Derek B Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) Thanks Lothar - this (and the single seat version) are on my future 'to buy/make' list for my Hellenic Air Force collection!

Cheers Derek Definitely, the Greek 2000-C is an excellent choice and also my favourite scheme - they can be so nicely "weathered" I have the excellent Duke Hawkins reference book dealing with the -5 version so I know what to look after for the changes the Greeks had.

norbert Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 For those who have facebook, there is a mirage 2000 group build running, mostly with the new KH kits, where people discuss modifications and configurations. Mostly in french but about everybody understands english too. https://www.facebook.com/groups/271540610498251/?multi_permalinks=295013518150960%2C292920928360219%2C292922491693396%2C293787908273521%2C295028818149430¬if_id=1586501138528278¬if_t=group_activity it's a private group, so if you are interested, you have to ask for admission Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Matt Foley Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I have the 1:32 Deaux on hand. Sophie ships via Fed Ex now and I received in a week from China. Very fast! For those of you building the 2000C what colors are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
