Yes, the email includes a tracking number. It has arrived in customs now and I am expecting a delivery next week.

JMcD Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I've just got the shipment notification email for my order #10493. My second order was #10771, I'll have to wait a bit more for that one I guess... But the first one is on its way now...

IvanVasili Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Mine is 10512 and did not show up this week. Must be next week then, considering that 10493 was sent today. JMcD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geedubelyer Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Eager to see how this looks. Very much looking forward to seeing someone build a splinter cammo version. Unpainted metal is also cool as is the light grey with huge dayglo numbers. Thinking about it, is there a bad looking Viggen Rainer Hoffmann, Uncarina, Kagemusha and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigger Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 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. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told I would get my two sent out this week but no notification of despatch yet. From looking at how their run of Sky Streaks coming from Istanbul, it seemed to take QUITE a while per a friend who ordered one. I don't remember the exact time, but it seemed like it was a while between the notice and the kit arriving, and IIRC, I dont think his shipping notifications from the Istanbul side ever actually updated; the kit just arrived at his door step. After having examined the kit, all communications during and their previous dealings, Id say there likely isn't going to be much to worry about in the long run. mattcour and JMcD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokey Pete Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 My guess is that all that were sent out last week are sat in various customs facilities. I know from first hand experience (wife works for FedEx) that logistics companies are drowning at the moment. Massive shipping backlogs, customs delays, driver shortages. The kits have been sent with tracking, I don’t think there’s reason to be nervous about it not turning up. Patience is the order of the day.

mattcour Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 My order 10451 shipped on 18th, dispatched from Istanbul on 19th, appeared in Paris-Orly on 22nd, was forwarded from customs to postal distribution on 24th. Should arrive in a few days hopefully. It was the first days of the Covid outbreak when they had shipped the Skystreaks last year. I remember that my order had arrived in two months, but then again it had left Istanbul in a few days but lingered here for a long time as all cargo arrivals was a big mess then. Apparently things are moving faster now... JMcD, Chek, Kagemusha and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treehugger Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) I was thinking, if 3D printed plastic isn't as smooth as resin, maybe a liquid mix of vallejo putty + water drop could be smeared on the 3D printed parts to subtly smooth them. My only personal experience with 3D printed stuff, is some small 50 cannon mounts for a wooden ship, ordered from Shapeways. I've been reading in the past, about cleaning 3D parts, but the ones I got seemed ok, which confused me. Maybe it isn't so that it is necessary to clean 3D printed parts.

Cleaning up is generally necessary on large surfaces,if required. Little and tiny parts mostly do not need a surface treatment at all.
