Do you mean the bar code on the label is wrong? All the bar code should be is just the address and maybe the mailing service (priority, first class, etc.). The bar code should only have the final destination. It doesn’t tell the post office the route it takes to get it from Sprue Brothers to your house.the label had my correct address, but when it was scanned it was sent to a different part of the country. In Canada each provence will have its own lettwr. for example Manitoba all begin with R. so for it to be scanned and sent the completely wrong direction means that someone typed in the correct thing to create the label, then entered the incorrect thing on the computer.

Is the address correct? Because if the address on the package they send you is correct, then it’s out of Sprue Brother’s hands after it goes out the door. If the package is taking a grand tour around Canada, that sounds like an issue for the post office.
yes the label shows the correct address. the problem seems to be with the electronic entry for the shipping. I just find it weird that it happened 3 times in a row.

I havent ordered from Sprue Brothers in a while (5 or so years) and I have made a few orders in the last few months.
the last 3 orders had issues with the shipping that sent them all over the continent. the last one is out for delivery in St. johns Newfoundland.
I live in Vancouver.
is anyone else having these issues, or have I offended yhe gods somehow? -
spoke to my buddy Eric who works with Erikson, he says International orange is what they use.

I finally pulled the trigger on the ICM kit just now, it should be a few weeks before it shows up from Poland.
so the question is who makes the most accurate paints for the SEA camouflage?
I last built something in SEA camo about 20 years ago and used xtraciolour and the 2 greens basically blended right into each other.

well isn't that interesting timing

I have been waiting for the Annetra kit for what seems like ever. and I feel it would be the best kit of all these. AMK for all their dodgy practices were master mold makers, and the community was more than willing to assist with reference material. hopefully the Trumpeter kit will not be as flawed as many of their other kits and I can finally build the Mi=17Mtv I flew in.

I flew on one a while back too, and also on SWA. I liked it so much, that I picked up one of the Zvezda kits and found the decals for the SWA bird.
that's not a MAX, its an NG. the winglets on the MAX are more square.

FYI, Matt Bole posted on FB that a "refund is on the way" a couple of hours ago. I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt, and when I receive that refund I'll consider the matter closed.
I asked a question about MRP on FB a few years ago and mentioned that Hobby world was constantly out of the stuff. I was immediately jumped on by the likes of Jim D coming to Mr. Boles defense. did you get your FB account spammed and life threatened?
luckily there are other sources for MRP now -
I have found that the french Nato Green is a lot lighter than say the German version. AK real colours are a real close match to the NATO 3 tone used by the French

WOW great job.

I had no problems with either of mine.
big issue with a couple of steps in the instructions though -
I think they are using Hi Lok fasteners which do not have a screwdriver recess in the head. but will look like a rivet from the outside.
looking at the 20 year old paint on some of our 767's, the paint often will come off the rivets leaving a nice line of bare metal fasteners.

lookin good Jon

I think waiting for the Zvezda kit is the best option. that minicraft kit is garbage.
this is the best shot I have of a 57 main gear right now. I'll try to get a good shot tomorrow morning If I have a chance.
If you need anythingelse specific for a 57 or 67 I might be able to help

Who is "they"? Sprue Brothers or Bullseye ?
sprue brothers. I attempted 3 orders in the last year, 2 were cancelled outright and the other sat in the packing dept. for several weeks before I cancelled it.

Afterburner is now Bullseye Model Aviation and they have already printed two sheets, one with VF-111 decals for this kit. They should be ready for shipment soon.
https://www.facebook.com/bullseyemodelaviationoh yeah I forgot about them. too bad they only sell through sprue brothers. the last 3 times I tried to order they cancelled on me.
-
picked up mine fro the lhs today, looks great in the box.
I would love to do the VF-111 bird in the kit, but I have never had success with tamiya kit decals.hopefully someone like afterburner etc. will do a good set

Having recently built the ICM CR.42 falco in 1/32, I would love an Mc 200,202,205 family in 1/32 scale

Second, if a 3D printer is what you're really interested in, the price difference may not be much.
well I want both, but I don't have the money or space for a 3d printer and a vinyl cutter.
thanks for the answer.
sprue brothers?

there is a big problem. in that the package went to Toronto to be accepted into Canada then was directed to the wrong province. THREE TIMES.
most of the population in Canada lives in a straight line north of the U.S border. (more or less) so for something to go east instead of west meabns there was a huge screw up. Canada post for all its flaws is usually really good at getting stuff right.
