They sent me a second email clarifying things so I went with surface shipping as well. Gives me time to finish my HK Lanc. And his big brother B-24...

scott_t Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Did anyone who pre-ordered from Andy's Hobby Headquarters receive an email today asking for the balance of their order to be paid? I placed a $50 deposit and the remainder due is $549.99 and $33.00 tax. I have until May 31st to pay it. Apparently they expect the kits to arrive the first week of June. -Scott Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to wait 4 months for a package from Hannants via Royal Mail, so I guess your 100% correct DonH. DonH and LSP_Matt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizly Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Regarding the still advertised 7 - 21 business day air mail service offered by Lucky Model, I placed a purchase with air mail delivery mid March and while it apparently was shipped the following day, the tracking number with Jersey Post still shows "Awaiting item from sender". Indeed, as far as I can tell, it is still in Hong Kong and two messages to Lucky Model have made me none the wiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somebody Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 what are the chances of border model doing another epic 1/32 or lager bomber kit? maybe b-29? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 1 hour ago, somebody said: what are the chances of border model doing another epic 1/32 or lager bomber kit? maybe b-29? I would say about zero. The only reason they got this kit was that they bought the almost completed WNW mold from another company, probably at a very cheap price. Pretty much all of the design and development, plus most of the mold, was already done, so they didn’t have to pay the real cost of those items.

My Lanc had the "Sender is preparing item for posting" status from May 5th until today, where it's actually been posted, processed, and "Process completed for departure" from HK, I've been using HK Post tracking. europapete and KiwiZac 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archimedes Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 11 hours ago, somebody said: what are the chances of border model doing another epic 1/32 or lager bomber kit? maybe b-29? I would imagine if they get a good return out of this Lancaster hey may be interested but remember what they are putting out here is a kit where a lot of the hard yards had already been done. I would guess the answer would be 'highly unlikely'. I am willing to be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chek Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Looking at the online build of the BM Lancaster, It's obvious that the expertise and attention to detail exemplified by Wingnut Wings has been a major design influence. A B-29 may be a possibility, but it'll be of a half-baked (in comparison) standard like the other big Lanc, B-24 and B-17. For improved standards and innovation, it looks like Kotare are the company to watch. Now if Revell were to rebox/market those kits as they appear ....
