timvkampen 364 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I ordered one. This was a jet in the running to replace the 104 for the Netherlands back then...of course we chose the F-16, but years later a few rotations took place. One Viggen is on display in the Netherlands at the Aviodrome museum in Lelystad. A fascinating design. Maybe they will tackle another Swedish one: the Draken?

Chek 2,198 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Weird thing happened to me on the pay site. It wouldn't accept my details - just kept red flagging my name in the name box. It said surname on the form, so I tried just my surname, then with one initial, then with both initials, with and without full stops. Still nothing. Messaged Jetmads for help but all they could suggest was try again, as nothing was showing on their payments received or attempted page. Just enter your name as it appears on your card they said. So I did, again. And again no luck. Nothing. I pay my bills online, but I have a sheaf of unopened postal statements going back about two years, so i decided to open one to check my details. And there it was. As soon as I prefixed my name with 'Mr' on the pay page the payment went through. Then about ten minutes later I got an automated fraud check from my credit card company checking it was me making the payment. Then I got the order confirmation from Jetmads. I'm just relaying all this in case anybody else has trouble with making online payments. I've never had a problem with making online payments since forever before. But even something as minor and inconsequential as your bloody title can make a difference. Out2gtcha and Stevepd 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Somehow I had 8 charges on their site, EIGHT! The JetMads site kept coming up with errors, and wouldn't go through, so thought I was forgetting something.......must have hit the button or changed things WAY more than I thought. After speaking to the bank, I did manage to actually get my order in and paid, along with getting my confirmation email too. I am as I do I guess. Not for this kit, but for a book I was trying to order Monday, I kept getting a "we don't deliver to your location" message. I called the publisher (they're in the states) left a message and asked that he email me. He certainly did, explaining that it's a recurring problem with the site, so offered to waive the shipping fee, which I have agreed to. The book should be here in a week or so.

Stokey Pete 1,185 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I took myself off the reservation list (finances wouldn’t allow). But would you believe it, I managed to sell some of my old studio lighting kit, and can now shell out. Fingers firmly crossed for a result of now being on the wait list. I noticed the pre-order page was still open but not sure about ordering and paying if there’s no space available. Link to post Share on other sites

Dave Williams 3,780 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 The deadline for reservation holders to pay for their reserved kits was Sept. 10, so by now they should be opening it up to those on the waiting list. Although how they are doing this or policing it, I don’t know. Link to post Share on other sites

Stokey Pete 1,185 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Happy Days, I’ve been allowed to order one as a wedding anniversary present. My wife is truly amazing, and I suppose I better get her something extra nice now. Landrotten Highlander, Stevepd, Isar 30/07 and 2 others 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites
