CrankyCrafstman Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Opps looked like 9mm. I use federal gold dots hollow points (police ammo) 45 auto & 9mm. I also have a small Sig 9mm pocket (purse) pistol for the wifee. With everyone wanting to defund the police, these are becoming a real necessity!

BlrwestSiR Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Had a package arrive today. The postmark was a bit confusing as it was issued in Canada. After opening the box I realized it was my Me163 I ordered off eBay from China. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's tiny and expensive to replace. While cleaning my Iwata eclipse, I lost the air valve spring.......$14.00 plus shipping to get a new one......for one tiny spring! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belugawhaleman Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Picked this up the other day............A Trumpy PT-76. It looks like a nice kit. I splurged on a set of Friulmodel tracks for it. It seems tiny compared to the Meng Char 2c I'm working on now. In common with the Char 2c, it's weird. I've included in the post a photo of the real thing .........I mean, just Look at the thing!.........Weird! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanG Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Got this through today (along with some 1/48 kits for a planned diorama). Been after one for years and got the chance to get one for cost of postage and a generous donation to Armed Forces charities. Boy is it big. SWMBO just glared at me when she saw the wing span lol. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the Border Tiger.I tank on eBay for reasonable prices in China ... and I think I've also bought items from there before in the distant past ... before the world went crazy ... I've been a little reluctant to pull the trigger because of negative reviews on a lot of the China based advertisers (I always check them) ... there's usually about 12-15 negatives against a few neutrals and 300+ positives. Not so bad really until you see the feedback ... selling stuff that was out of stock etc ... Which distributor did you use and how long did it take to get there??

Rog Rog, I usually check reviews first as well before ordering. It took less than a month to get here- shipped March 18, arrived April 5. I ordered it from Auroramodelshop I've ordered from them in the past without any issues. Last year they stopped shipping to Canada for some months as they couldn't guarantee delivery in a reasonable timeframe. They started shipping here again so I ordered the Me163. Yanworld0082013 is another I've ordered from. They often have lower prices but it has taken longer for purchases to get to me. In fact I've got the Border Tiger 1 coming from them at the moment.

Carl Thanks Carl ... I'll look into it ... as soon as I'm working again. From memory - I did an order ages ago through dawngrocerystore and also xfree-hobby at one point with no issues ... it's always hard to distinguish the complaints from people who have some genuine grievance from those who take that as their default position in life! 3 hours ago, HubertB said: Slow shipping may be an issue for Rog.
