Brad Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I've got pictures of '2', it's no doubt about it. Unless they are figuring that '2' is just '302', or it could be the 2 in B5N2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not the same photo, or even the same Kate, as in the Bill Pippin owned photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul821 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Like many I am now ready to redeem the Flying Hours vouchers I have been retaining for some time on the hope that the scheme would come back. looking for value for money I thought I work out which of the redemption groups gave best value. Assuming you take the top of the range we get 16 tokens get a series 2 kit costing £9.99which is 62p per token 30 tokens get a series 4 kit costing £18.99which is 63p per token 40 tokens get a series 6 kit costing £26.99which is 67p per token 60 tokens get a series 9 kit costing £38.99which is 64p per token Therefore the best value is to use 40 tokens on a serie 6 kit. If you have 60 the best value is not to take a series 9 kit but 56 tokens get a series 2 7 6 kit costing £36.98 which is 66p per token As loyalty programmes go this seems good value - better than Tesco Clubcard or Nector. The main issue seems to be number of kits "out of stock" on the Airfix website the moment. All my possible first choices seem to be unavailable.

Here it is - https://boxartden.com/reference/gallery/index.php/Modeling-References/Aircraft-Profiles/Japan/Nakajima-B5N-Kate-141 - the whole Profile Collection plus several other series and much more are all available on the site. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Thompson Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Still in processing, but having asked a few days ago I've just received a reply saying they'd run out of club packs, but it should be with me in 3-5 days. Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treker_ed Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I'm sure there is an alternative communication method to find out what's happening... Why don't you ring them!? (I had a call just before lunch from a young lady from Airfix, regarding my Flying Hours Passport, to take the £4.98 P&P payment which is in the process of being sent out. She's advised that they have closed their phone lines this afternoon, as they have been inundated with stuff and have closed the lines to catch up with work.)

Ratch Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 My pack arrived today Jez Brook's Artist and Kit List was included. A bit ironic as I certainly wasn't one of the first 1,000 and Jez had sent me a copy a week or so ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, after a few more emails were exchanged yesterday I got a notification this morning that the physical goods were on the way, although I still can't access the Club area because although I can log in it won't recognise me as a member. The nice lady at customer services relinked my membership to my account and changed my password, but to no avail, so that has been passed on to their IT people or person. On the plus side, since it has been over 3 weeks since payment was taken, they've extended my membership by a month, so at least they are trying............... Paul.

I emailed then 2 weeks ago but still awaiting a response. Cheers, Alistair I have to say I've had lots of response, very well meaning, just not effective regarding access. The package with the kit OTOH arrived this afternoon, about 18 hours after they said they'd shipped it. I'm leaning towards the idea that they just didn't test the system well enough before it went live - you can still get through to the old club home page because they haven't removed it, and clicking on any of the links there will give you a 404 error, i.e. they don't go anywhere anymore. Perhaps the intended live page is still a work in progress and we're getting odd results there because most of the content is yet to be loaded. I give up for now. I'm happy with the kit, and will soon put together a Flying Hours order, which is the main reason for membership anyway unless they come up with some unusually good Club kit deals. Paul.

tonyh Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) Hi To those people who posted above, is there any joy on being able to link your web account to your Club account? I e-mailed Airfix on 04/08/20 and just received the automated response from them. My welcome pack didn't contain my membership card either but that's no big deal really.

Regards Tony I did that manually when this all started, it's simple enough on the face of it, and when I kept getting messages to the effect that I was not a member when clicking on the Club kit button they responded very quickly and reset it all themselves. All very nice, but it had no visible effect. I then asked them if this was simply due to there being no actual content on ther relevant pages yet and was told the representative didn't know because they couldn't see what I was seeing, and she'd pass me on to the IT department. A couple of weeks passed............. .................oh, still here? Right, well then I contacted them through the page form and specified that this was an issue with the site. That was a week ago. Yesterday I got this, and I hope they don't mind my quoting it if they're watching, but it may help others. They said: " Currently, our members have had access to purchase the Club exclusive products, which includes our Tins. We are not running any Club exclusive competitions as of right now but we will in the future, which you will be notified of via a newsletter and it will be the same when we release any future Club exclusive products. Sorry for any confusion this has caused." Maybe it's me, but I'm really no wiser. When logged in and clicking on Club kits I still get 'Club kits are only available to club members'. And I really have no interest in buying a tin, nice thought the abbatoir is....................... Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul821 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 The Airfix web-site still says "The Summer Edition of the Airfix Magazine is still scheduled for print and shipping as planned.".

Paul821 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Just looking on the Airfix web-site for updates on Club membership and the date of the next magazine. Nothing about the next issue but there is this: "All members will receive a 2021 Calendar in December." not many days to go then! and there is a series of books (some reissues) at club discount while stocks last, but all are only available on pre-order. One that is new to me is "Airfix HO/OO Scale Figures" by Peter Williams which would be of interest, but at £40 I think i will give it a miss.

Ratch Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 The Airfix website is next to useless - they seem to think that facebook is the only way to communicate. I got my copy of the book direct from the author. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
