At least if you made it like a Typhoon, it would look more like one than the current Typhoon kits available.

Good point well made.... although I meant the Prop typhoon! I am joking of course, I cant wait to see whats in the box for this kit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonCornes Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Has anyone received a kit yet? If not then when are deliveries expected? I have an idea that a financial commitment will be required for the second production run next month so will that also be delayed by 3 months ? It would certainly be interesting to know where we are.

Chek Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) They say that resin cast parts will be completed by the end of July. Then they'll have to assemble the 3-D print parts and foam pack them. Then there'll be instruction sheets and decals to add to the boxes. They expect to start shipping mid August.

Landrotten Highlander Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 The last email did say something about shipping starting 16AUG2021... Hope the heat has gone by then, otherwise I need to make room in the house for a walk-in fridge unit to work in.

Stevepd Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 As LH says above 16 Aug is predicted shipping day for the 1st batch. I’ve still got my IFA Buc under the bed as the loft n garage are recreations of WW2 coolers. Better check it actually as it could just be a blob now Phartycr0c 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonCornes Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Okay so a 3 week wait until they are likely to start shipping. I appreciate they’ve had some understandable hold ups. I wonder how long it will take to ship the first 500 kit sets that have all sold before they can even start on the reissue orders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevepd Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I’m giving 2 weeks after the 16th for it to arrive under the current climate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chek Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Previous very hot summers have only ever resulted in unremoved shrink wrap distorting boxes, never the contents for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a good thing, as I have a few F-16s on the go now, with Mrs StokeyPete suggesting a 5th to add to the 4 on the bench in pre-assembly.

Markjames1968 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) So for those from 475 upwards, nothing till october/november if they only shipping 75 kits a week…. i have no idea where in the pecking order mine sits… not being cynical but everone will be coughing up for learjet or round 2 viggen before pretty much anyone has first round viggen kit……… Edited July 31, 2021 by Markjames1968 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
