belugawhaleman Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 This should be titled..."what i haven't got". My Tamiya A34 Comet kit Has been stuck at the Chicago ISC facility since Thanksgiving... Customs apparently. I've never had this problem with Hobbyeasy, BNA, or hobbylinc Japan before.....Why now? I'm told by USPS customer service that they can hold the package from 2 weeks to 45 days. I'm thinking of ordering the kit from Tower Hobbies if it's available from them before then. Mad as a wet hen at this.....well, disappointed Anyway. Please note: the package made it to Chicago from Hong Kong in just 3 days After that, it's been sitting in Chicago...... Sitting, static, no movement... Nada. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Interesting. Everything I’ve ever had go through customs went through Long Island NY customs. Had things sit there up to two weeks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted November 30, 2022 Administrators Share Posted November 30, 2022 Reply to the Piasecki H-21 kit. It’s 1/48 but a nice looking kit and quite large. I’ve read horror stories about the greenhouse bubble not fitting, but mine does. This’ll be a neat build. 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Italieri kit is DEFINITELY a C model, because it has the thicker greenhouse framing. Anyone wanting to do an earlier version will need to thin those frames a bit. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradG Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I managed to find myself the old Return of the Jedi boxing MPC 1/50 X Wing. I had built one as a kid and was looking for it again. On the hunt now for others I missed as a kid like the Star Destroyer, walkers, tie fighters and Y wing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of those kits are being re-released by Round2. They're also doing some updates to help fix/correct some of the kits like new side panels for the MPC Millennium Falcon. There's a new 1/32 TiE fighter coming and the Razorcrest just came out. Carl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got s few of those stashed away as it is a nice match for AMT-4 and I stocked up while they were still available in the UK.

Carl I will keep and eye out for them. We did get some re released star wars kits down here in Australia, including the ATAT walker and a few others. I really should pick up the big revell ATAT though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks like a seriously cool kit!.....I'm going to look into that one. I hope you do a build thread on that one...and give your impressions on fit, build, etc. Very interesting, I'd like to build a helo .....'built a Soviet naval helicopter years ago...an ESCI kit. Yes, THAT long ago! The new Takom and Meng Apache kits are very tempting.....but that weird "Flying Banana" has a lot of appeal... A banana peal....ha, ha, well, never mind...bad pun, my bad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
