I have the same for my 190. Scared to try it. ....harv

It’s only a decal, my friend.  Except that you wait for 8 hours and then peel off the carrier film.  I haven’t attached the control surfaces so that I will have fewer areas affecting each other.

Hey hey ...

Boxes arrived!! ...

I have some more traffic inbound ... but the missing link in my '48 ZM F-4 collection arrived ...

Purchased off e-Bay out of USA on the global shipping program ...

Not wrapped up as I asked ... but bulletproof nonetheless!

SWS48-04 ... the first of their F-4J's

Going back a few posts on here ... you may remember I got a few kits from Hobbyeasy out of Hong Kong that turned up in a less than satisfactory state due to poor packaging ... by far the worst was the GWH P.40 which had broken and damaged parts all through the badly crushed box ... I had to press my point to them - but they agreed to send a replacement ... Originally I was looking to get my Border Lancaster out of the same store ... but I decided that the risk of damage in transit was too great and arranged to buy that one locally ... I advised them to send the replacement - asking them to use a complete cardboard box - not an "assembled" one - and to use a different shipping company ...

At least they got the second one right! ... but it appears that they are still making up their own cardboard boxes!!

The box seemed to be sturdy but once again suffered some compression damage to the underneath of the GWH box ...

... but at least the box top is without any real blemish :) ...

... and more importantly ... thanks to the additional bubblewrap placed inside the box ... there's no damage to the kit parts ... almost!

Unfortunately once again ... the PE, being in its own wrapper and floating around separately inside the box, has been partly lodged between the sprues and the box side - as well as the bottom ... not badly and certainly not almost destroyed like the last lot ... but enough to suggest that maybe GWH should look to summarily bag instructions, decals and PE like most other companies do! ...

Rog :)

Fortunately, I've had good luck with Hobby Easy my items arrived in good

boxes and packaged well. But admittedly, they were small items and could be

sent without making boxes from scrap pieces. Sorry to hear of your trouble.

Looks like a good selection of items you got there. I'm interested in one of

those P40's.

Here are my two most recent purchases. I have always had a thing for the K2 since watching Ice Cold in Alex. I will have to watch it again to get inspiration for a diorama.

I missed the second one the first time it was released and have patiently awaited the re-release. I plan to do this as the late eighties, or early nineties BAOR.
