That name sounds familiar...are you the guy who made a 1/48 EB-57 conversion a while back? Maybe that was Lone Star! Duuhhh!

Anyhoo, I needz these! Trying WEM now...nope, not listed yet. Grrrrr!

Any sign of these at UK retail level yet? I was kinda hoping to grab some within my lifetime...

PS: tried to order via website, but payment method is news to me -what the heck is '2checkout'? Visa or PayPal just might get a few more takers.

Ah just been back on the site, when i ordered the chap just sent me a direct paypal invoice, its changed now.

You got more than I did! When I try to 'checkout' on the site, I can't get any further.

I wasn't trying to be rude; I just don't have this problem with any other (of many) suppliers, so I was hoping there would be a more useful source.

Well, I got an e-mail from North Star today confirming my order (YAY!!!); it had a link to a payment gateway that seemed to actually work this time -so, all good then!

Ah, but then another e-mail arrived right after paying (by VISA)...this describes the transaction as a 'DEMO ORDER: This order will not be processed. No items will be shipped and you will not be charged'.

To be honest, I'm feeling a little :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: , but let's see what happens...

I put an order in at the airport last night went thru to the payment stage where it says this is a demo.

This morning i got an email from Alexey at northstar saying the online payment is still not working and included a paypal invoice

Bit of a breakthrough: had an e-mail from Alexey at North Star, quoting the order # and giving payment details for PayPal.

He now has a message on his front page, confirming that credit/debit card payment facilities are still pending.

Do check out his stuff, it looks seriously cool and it's really good to know that you can actually get it!

I received my Hornet wheel order direct from North Star just before Christmas.

One word about these items- Excellent!

Until I got my 1/32 scale items I did not realize how inaccurate the Academy kit items where. Comparing the North star items with photo's, they look spot on :goodjob:

The main hub design is very clever, you can see the hub/shaft area inside the hub slots like on the real deal.

My only small gripe is there are no molded flat spots on the wheels but being a USN jet the tyre's are pumped up hard its easy to just file/sand a flat spot as the real items don't show a real bulge near the bottom.

Hello dear friends.

Unfortunately, 2CO does not fully activate the system of auto payment on our site, so I have to hand-write a letter to each customer with payment options. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, but we are doing everything to enable the automatic payments as soon as possible.
