  1. Got mine yesterday. Wow! A fantastic set; the finest EX/QA set on the market. Look forward to other conversion sets.
  2. After a crazy few minutes of fat-finger-fumbling (& lots of cursing) with my Paypal account, I managed to get a set at 3:21 EDT and not have a stroke.
  3. Well said! Love your decals and now love the 3d items. As someone who had a vacuform business (mainly WWI aircraft in 1/72 and 1/48) for thirty years, I know exactly what and who you are dealing with, and the reason I gave up the business a couple years ago. You can't please everybody, but there are some people who can never be pleased even if you had a butler deliver it on a gold platter out of a limousine.
  4. The same way USPS collects it if there is postage due. They knock on your door and ask for a check or leave a note and you have to retrieve it at the PO, or attach a check to the note. A few months ago, a Facebook Graveyard Auction seller sent my kit in a cobbled-together Priority Mail box that required postage due for a larger size box. My mailman left me a note. I attached a check to the note and the next day he collected it and left my package. Seven bucks. I told the seller that USPS had caught him out for cheating, but he never replied. I just never bid on his auction any more.
  5. Any tariffs are assessed by US Customs when the item arrives in the States and any fee has to be paid by the customer before the item is delivered by USPS. Neither the seller nor eBay has anything to do with, or collects/charges any tariffs. Trump has been saying all along that the countries pay the tariffs, but this is misinformation. Some Chinese sellers have/had astronomically increased the shipping charges to discourage US buyers because international postal shipping from China has/had been frozen. Again, sellers have nothing to do with/don't collect any tariffs; they are paid by the
  6. The insane part is that it could change tomorrow, or the day after, or next week or August 29, or then start all over again. Just on one man's crazy whims. Can't see how CBP can do any planning at all. Or new hires, or training, on and on.
  7. Combined shipping for several different 3d parts? Combining parts AND decals? Doesn't seem to be an option to "add to cart." Just checkout buttons for individual part(s). I'm sure there's an explanation somewhere, but I haven't found it. Bob in Louisville
  8. Fantastic choices; can't wait for this one!
  9. Same here... Life's cruel joke - we put off building for ourselves for so long, only to find out that we physically can't. I have arthritis, made worse by having to carry an elderly dog, who's back legs had given out, around for two months. Been trying to build a couple 1/48 Skyhawks, but my left hand continually cramps and has zero grip strength. Hoping you get better.
  10. Light Gull Gray, FS 36440, a warmish light gray. There's several mixes around for Tamiya, but here's one that's a simple 2:1. You can google others. XF-19 – SKY GREY: 2 XF-2 – FLAT WHITE: 1
  11. Here's the other two schemes in the new AMP kit.
  12. I ordered the new AMP H-19 yesterday from Ukraine. Comes with USMC (overall GSB), Dutch Navy (EDSG over sky) and Japanese Ground Self Defense Force (overall OD with orange trim) decals. AMP has told several people that the cranked tail boom will feature in a future kit.
