RicardoD Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Mine seems to have arrived in Milan airport on 30 March. No tracking movements for almost two weeks since it departed Turkey and it finally appeared with an update on 30th. Expecting a delivery this week. Apparently tracking informations like everything are a little bit delayed nowadays, no surprise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Departure from office of exchange Arrived yesterday. It took about 3+ weeks to reach me and after a quick check I can say it's worth all the wait, really good standards for a resin kit. I'd rather start building before I say how good a model it will build into but I am quite happy with what I see as a first impression. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IvanVasili Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 That is great Ricardo. What is the kit number and how about a WIP build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattcour Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I wonder how the 3D printed tiny parts arrived, it is a major concern for me. Too many delicate parts on the Facebook photos, definitely would not do good to have some of them broken. And how is the surface detail, casting quality etc? Would you hint? Got really excited when I saw your box as mine is also on its way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillerMig Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I had the delivery made on Monday, package arrived safely. When I had seen the pictures of it I had thought all that packaging stuff was more of a presentation issue. Not only it is really nice not to have all the parts floating freely in a pizza box like package but I now see it is also practical and serves the purpose of protecting very tiny and detailed parts during transportation. There are many such parts and to my joy none of them has suffered a damage, all unbroken and still attached to their carrying blocks. I have not started to build the kit yet but just tried the fuselage dry fit. So far so good and I must say they have earned my respect. Some gray backgrounds on the instructions pages may be printed darker than probably intended, but that's ok. Transparent parts are ok too for a resin kit, they would look better with some extra polishing I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got really excited when I saw your box as mine is also on its way. Parts are very well secured in their slots and they came without any issues. As for the surface details, I particularly liked the wings and empennage parts which feature full line of rivets and panels. Fuselage parts are very well produced too, especially the nose. In fact the main parts looks like to be designed with a plastic kit philosophy. I am not disappointed at all, the kit has met my expectations after all those fancy renderings. I think I will start it asap and make it a WIP build, to see if it goes all that good till the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Largescale32 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Mine arrived in Austria today, so I will have it next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightpainter Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Mine is held up in customs and I am wondering how much it could cost to get it. And if I beleave the information pages it could take up to 28 days to get it... hope this is not true... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtkrl92 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Mine arrived on Wednesday. For almost two weeks after it left Turkey there was no tracking update and I was wondering. Then it appeared with the customs and was delivered after five days. I was not charged any extras by the customs for the package this time but it is not always the same. I liked the kit quite a lot, I am now convinced that creating very very tiny small parts with 3D printers is a reasonable thing. Some tiny parts unbelievably measure less than 0.5mm, some are even thinner. I was wondering why no PE parts were included but I see there's absolutely no need and printed parts look even more like the actual details. Making sure that these parts reach the buyer undamaged is also beyond appreciation. I've placed an order for another for my stash before it sells out, but I received a message from them saying that it may take some time before it will be sent due to flight restrictions, which is understandable. Anyway, I agree with those above that it is worth to wait, no matter how long it takes to arrive. Wondering when the Skyrocket will come out in daylight, but I'm definitely a subscriber to their catalogue. Looking forward to seeing the X-3, Neptune and FH-1 Phantom and Fiddler all of which would probably be great to build with all those sort of details. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattcour Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Impressive. I'm really looking forward to see it in flesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedyGonzales Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 Having some very sweet memories with PE parts jumping and flying off the tweezers I think I'll have a lot of extra fun with these parts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not easily come off from the supports when you pull, but it's much easier if you apply some lateral force. A trimmer or a very sharp blade would do better I think.

Lightpainter Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Just got mine too after a week in customs...they did open the outer box as evidenced bij the liberal tape with customs on it. No damage to the kit itself though 🙂 Just had a quick peek since I am working from home and everything looks fantastic. Wil have a detailed look after work. The kit has a quality look 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedyGonzales Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 My kits arrived today I haven't had a full check yet but they seem absolutely great at a first glance!! I'll happily spend my time over the weekend to appreciate the quality. Hey Jetmads, sorry that I may have underestimated you and was a bit dubious at first. Please keep up the great work, simply looking forward the future releases 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattcour Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Mine arrived today. Just wonderful packaging, not any smallest and tiniest part had a damage, one has to see it in flesh to truly appreciate the care given. Great surface details and magnificent casting too. A very detailed instructions booklet and great looking decals. I was hesitant to buy when this first came out but now I do not have the slightest regret. I hope it will build into an equally impressive model. I thought even for a moment to place another order but just decided to keep the funds for the upcoming Skyrocket. Really looking forward the X-3 too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IvanVasili Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 My kit arrived yesterday, absolutely made me happyI've read so far about all the positive comments about this production but hey, one has to see it live! The level of detail is very good, 3D printed parts are crazy and how they managed to print them with their tinier supports is even more crazy. And the foam is a very good idea too to keep them all intact. Great work on this quality product Jetmads, keep going!! Looking forward to the Skyrocket and Stiletto... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-4Guy Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I wanted to place an order yesterday. Their website says it is out of stock. Asked them via email if it was available and they replied that all copies sold out. I came across this company here on BM only yesterday, I wish I had seen this thread earlier 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to buy another one the day before and saw that it sold out. Bad... I think these guys should consider producing these kits in styrene.

Lightpainter Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) They wanted to limit production to 500 and that’s why every kit is numbered. That gives a feeling of exclusivity. Perhaps that is what they were striving for? I ordered mine in the preorder period too and am very happy I did it!
