LorenSharp Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I just got notification from Jumblies too. Placed my order and had a near heart attack, the S/H was almost as much as the kit. But on the flip side checking around, it was STILL cheaper ordering from the U.K that ordering from a company here. 80$USfrom the U.K. compared to 135$US Domestic before shipping here in the States. With luck because of the season and the US postal Service, I should get it around Christmas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serkan Sen Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 As far as I can see, most of us are looking forward to starting this new model as soon as possible. How about to launch a group build under a common topic? If you agree I can start a new topic namely: Legendary Blackbird - Part 4: "Return of the Habu" - Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird in 1:48 by Revell (Group Build) Serkan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny_K Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I tried to order this kit from Jadlam. They won't ship to my address. Their reason is: "We have currently Suspended Shipping to EU countries." However, I live in the US????? They seem confused. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny, the Guider went out around the time of the shilling. Marc (from NL who just ordered from Bol and feels a bit guilty cancelling his order at his LHS which was 25 EUROS dearer). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filler Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I had the pleasure of spending Guilders when I first visited the Netherlands. Still have some coins somewhere. I get the feeling there’s phenomenal interest in this kit and I expect black paint is going to be in short supply for a while. I wonder how many will actually get built though when a 70cm long model sinks in. Can’t imagine many ‘better halves’ allowing one on the mantle piece. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
