GB: Academy Tempest V: mike62

[mike62]

Kit ordered and hopefully winging it's way through the ether to me.

Will be purely oob, apart from a couple of Red Arrows built last year for my son, it will be my first aircraft kit in over 20 years.

Good man! Kids have eluded me thus far, so lets just say I'm keeping my hand in for as and when they arrive.
Note to self: Find a burd...

Well, paint arrived today but no Tempest in the box

Was in stock when I ordered but is now showing as out of stock. Presume this is the reason as there is nothing on the invoice indicating this.

Has it turned up yet? Plenty on flea bay.

Hannants are a great emporium but their delivery times can be very SLOOOOOOOOW.

Despite vowing never to use Hannants again, I ordered my resin kit from them and amazingly it arrived within three days. I have in the past waited for over a month for a delivery from them, which miraculously arrived within three days of sending an irate e-mail.

Has your credit card been used on a Las Vegas gambling website, as well as paying for your goods?

Don't laugh...mine was.

I'm about to order some decals from them too.

I just ordered these:



Going for the W2 - X version. I do like invasion stripes, but not too many! (plus I think Sky coloured spinners look far nicer than the bright red I'd originally used).

Previously, for some reason I started topping up my Indian and Pakistani mobile phones and buying goods from Germany (in US dollars) for delivery to Glasgow.

New account and card since then.

They've changed their system now - no card details are stored. Apparently.
