Oh that is music to my ears. Excellent news!!
-
This kit is a departure from the past ones - aside from the clear parts, it is entirely 3d printed
-
There’s nothing earth shattering in the design or new printing technologies, it’s simply the result of a significant investment of time in designing what appears to be a well-designed and super detailed beast of a model. Even with the Death Star trenches as panel lines which will need to be addressed, this was well worth the wait. I owned an ID vac kit and an ATTIC resin kit in 1/48 way back in the day. The resin was simply a copy of the ID model and an absolutely ripoff…. This one on the other hand is most welcome.

I sent Scott my photos of the parts as well, guess he’s spacing out posts today. The short version of the initial scan over the parts: Absolutely gorgeous details including in the gear bays and inner wing where it’s visible with deployed flaps. There are separately-printed harnesses for the seats, too. Jetmads definitely did improve the rear fuselage piece, as the layer lines are much finer and harder to see than the photo they shared last year. It’s a good thing they upgraded those printers as the raised rivet details on that part are very well done. Downsides: Panel lines are surprisingly heavy, there’s no denying it. The jet engine pods are designed with the intake covers closed, no option to have them open.

My tracking number still doesn’t appear in any tracking system… I think we’ve all been scammed.
-
In fairness, they did show an image of the rear fuselage a while back, before they supposedly went and reprinted them on newer machines. But beyond that, you’re not wrong…
-
I wonder how it works with this courier setup they are using… the boxes surely are all labeled, but they can’t generate their own labels with tracking numbers? Oh well, at least it’s a communication.

Great news, an update email just received: Hello, We are pleased to inform you that the batch of 1:48 P2V-7 Neptunes including your kit(s) have been collected by the courier service today. We expect to be notified about the tracking numbers of the packages in a few days and will update you as soon as the information arrives. Best, JETMADS Team

Excellent! I figured they would go through the various go242 boxings before bringing the 244, but this is great news for the morning

This news has made me rather happy today! -
Yahoo! That’s looking like it will be worth the wait

It’ll be great indeed! Plus having the choice of two brand new P-3s in 1/144 (Academy is doing it later this year as well) is a win for all. How bad is the nose shape on the Aoshima C-2, and how major a fix will it need in the absence of a correction part? Come on, Pit Road, give us a glimpse of the P-1 progress please! 😁
