Rabbit Leader Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 Pleased to see the latest Workbench article (Chipmunk) works better than the last one, however now I cannot seem to find the previous issue (RAF Buccaneer kit) to see if these missing images were ever restored? Cheers.. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treker_ed Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Don't try ordering if you need to have any specific delivery instructions! They have removed the text box from the order screen that allowed you to enter any delivery instructions on the order screen. I have some quite specific instructions, and due to this tried emailing to follow up an order. Received an automated reply advising that there is a 7 working day delay to responding to all emails! Orders are processed in 5 working days. So I thought I'd ring them to sort it out! Well that was about as useful as chocolate fireguard! Hornby Hobbies cannot add any delivery instructions to an order. They cannot (or will not...) add any instructions to an order until the order has been processed and sent to DPD for delivery and DPD has generated a delivery label. I'm sorry by this time it's too late to add any delivery instructions as the delivery label etc has been generated so how can you add delivery instructions to the order! It has to be done at the point that the order is being generated, not at the point that the package is with the delivery company... Such a stupid way of doing things - good job that I don't live in a block of flats, or gated community etc whereby they might need quite specific instructions or even a brand new development that might not even appear on sat nav or map so would need directions to the address which I would be able to give via this method....

Same for me - pictures in the 'Workbench' area not opening up (only the picture at the top of each post is visible). I've sent them a message via the 'contact us' page on this so we'll see if Airfix come back. No posts in the Forum but it says they are being copied over at the moment. Thanks for flagging up the new website - I'm having a look around - having just also bought the latest Airfix Catalogue! I didn't really use the old one much but I've been looking around to see if I can buy myself a 'comfort' item i.e. the new Beaufort. Looks like it's not actually on sale yet so plenty time to get some of all my other kits built! I think I have used the Airfix Tribute Forum more to get all the old kit details and history etc. and see @Ratch's builds, of course! Just got this message today: Customer Care (Airfix) 8 Feb 2021, 13:36 GMT Hi That bug should now be fixed. On 22/01/2021 at 10:44, Ventora3300 said: Hi Dave.

Just been on the website - looked at the workbench blogs and the one for the Canadair Sabre is still not showing the pictures in the blog! Still only getting place holder notes for the pictures that should be there... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsbody Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Any word on when this is going to be fully operational? There's still no forum! I'm waiting! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecov Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 The Hornby/Airfix product/brand manager Darrell Burge died suddenly on Wednesday 10th February and I imagine that the Hornby set-up is in a state of shock and flux right now. It is going to be a difficult task to reorganise things after his loss and I would imagine that some things are of a higher priority than others with the forum and the workbench blogs being quite a way down the list of things to do.

IanHx Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I think there must be a bug - its still showing the prototype Concorde as pre-order a year after it was announced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 A50170 was announced in 2019 and has yet to arrive on these shores and A50189 was only announced in the 2021 catalogue. No news yet on the Forum over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well next week, it's Spring and still nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 Funnily enough, I always thought the four seasons stated and finished on the same dates, although were opposite for Northern and Southern Hemispheres. So in Australia we have the following - Spring 01 Sep - 30 Nov Summer 01 Dec - 28 Feb Autumn 01 Mar - 31 May Winter 01 Jun - 31 Aug Starting a season on the 20/21 of a month is completely new to me! Cheers.. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers.. Dave The seasons are determined by the solstice and equinox, they vary slightly year to year, but you won't be far out on 20/21 of December/March/June/September. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
