The kit decals are no good?

They are fine.  I just thought the schemes on these AM decals were cooler.

Ordered my kit today from SB with wing fold.

I got mine a little while back and upon closer examination I think the "stressed skin effect is a little overplayed . The sprue shot pics it didn't look like all that much ,but now that I have the plastic in my lunch hooks , it looks like to me a bit too much[ Quang, sir you are so right about having the plastic in hand ]. All the pics I have and I have a lot, there doesn't appear to be much [if at all] any stressed skin or rivets showing, So I'm going to be doing some sanding and filling on this one . Not all aircraft exhibit this "effect" some more than others and not necessarily over the entire airframe just in parts. I'm going to build this but it'll take me a little longer, overall it seems to be a good kit[ I've had to deal with worse ,much worse]. Besides who else is going to do a big scale Val so there it is.

My Mr. Surfacer and 000 steel wool is ready and waiting as needed.

Turns out it’s on back order.  They took my order anyway or it was I guess a timing issue.  I wonder how long this restock will take. 

[ChuckD]

They backordered mine too, but said they were expecting them Friday.  SB doesn't typically do backorders (as far as I know), so I assume they're only doing this because they expect them to show up soon.

Update: SB shipped my Val kit today.  Looks like it must be in stock.

[Rick Griewski]

Mine shipped today also.  A few days of delay after a decade waiting is no biggie 

[ChuckD]

Definitely.  I was burned by the Infinity Helldiver, so was going to hold off on this, but positive reviews and its pending status as vaporware pushed me over the edge.  

[Rick Griewski]

I wonder if SSculptor bought one yet?

Don’t forget the elbow grease.
