Thank you for all the replies and I did notice the changes as well. Also, their 3D printing products have a new status of "shipping in 7 days". This confirms my thinking that they don't stock these items and will order from factory once received our orders. Update on my order. I did receive my order and it took 2 months instead of their advertising 14-21 days to the US. Thank you. Thanh Huynh

My thinking is that they don't have them instock physically. Luckymodel advertises these 3D printing products stating in stock but in reality they will place the order(s) with the manufacturers upon receiving our orders which then delays our orders even further. The item that holding up my order was the 3D printing gun barrel for the GWH A-10C for 2 weeks. Again this is only my thinking. Only Luckymodel knows why it takes so long to ship from their warehouse to their HongKong shop. Thanh Huynh

Hi Brian, I chose the Lucky Air (14-21 days) to USA destinations. Just for clarification here, I am not complaining about the shipping time here. What i am saying is i placed an order on June 9 for 3 available, in stock items. To this date, one of them has a shipped status, 2 other items are still in full reserved status in their warehouse, or whatever that means. They shipped items above took over 2 weeks to get to Hongkong from their GZ warehouse. Thank you. Thanh.

Hi. I don't know what GZ means. When I google "GZ in China" then the result is Guangzhou as Bob mentioned above. Thanh

Thank you all for the replies. I followed up with them on my request ticket and now a person named David said 2 items on my order are being transferred to GZ warehouse. Not sure about their logistics but my order said like that for 2 weeks now. Not sure if they are waiting shipments from vendors/manufacturers. Learned my lesson this time around. I will stick with Ebay vendors as they can ship within 3 days from ordering and i get deliveries to California from China between 10 to 15 days. Thanh.

Hi Everyone. Does anyone have issues with orders on Luckymodel website lately? I placed an order on June 9 for 3 in-stock items and to this day, it is still in processing mode. I opened a request ticket for status and was told it would go out asap but nothing happens. Thank you. Thanh Huynh

Hi. Just curious how did you get your new local tracking number ? I just checked my account on Luckymodel site and no new update. Tracking number still shows the one to the Kansas office. Thank you. Thanh

Dear Raymond, Thank you for the quick clarification. Really appreciate it. Thanh

Hi. Has anyone ordered the GWH A-10 kit sent out on the first batch from LuckyModel and received the kit here is the US ? My order shows a UPS tracking number and it is out for delivery in Topeka, Kansas when I am located in California. Thank you. Thanh Huynh

Squadron webpage shows they are taking pre-orders for some KittyHawk 1/32 scale kits. I guess Kitty Hawk is back in business ? 🤔 Thanh Huynh

PM about the Meng F-18E. Thanks.

Hi. If you have any left over or unused decals from the 1/48Eduard A6M2/M3 series then I am interested in buying them for my overtrees kit. Thank you. Thanh Huynh

Hi Mike, USAF decals received today. Thank you very much. Thanh

Hi Everyone. I am looking for the "USAF" decals on the top right and lower left wings of an F-86F-30 in 1/48 scale. If you happen to have spare ones, extra left over from your built kits, please let me know to purchase them. Thank you. Thanh Huynh

Hello Dai, Thanks for the reply and the tip. Once i have a replacement set of decal for the bottom part of the wings then i will follow your suggestion. The area I have issues with it has 4 bumps with various sizes as pictured below. I was able to remove the decal by applied some Solvaset to soften the decal again after it dried and removed with masking tape. Some stubborn area, i had to use to a toothpick to scratch it off. Now I have to retouch the area with paint ☹️ Thanh Huynh

Hi Curt, That's what I did. Been watching lot of video about building kits on youtube and i followed the tips. I touched up the roundelle with Solvaset every couple hours but it did not help. Will have to order a set of WW2 RAF insignia and will give it another try. Thank you for the reply and tip. Thanh Huynh

Hi everyone. Just wondering if there is any tips or workaround to set decals on the bottom portion on a 1/48 scale Spitfire wings. The bottom surface of the wings is not even as it has holes and couple bumps. I used Solvaset to soften the decals for the round RAF insignia and when it dried, it has some break lines and wringles around it. Beside painting the insignia, is there a workaround ? Thank you. Thanh Huynh

Hi Ed, I take the A-10 Heavenly Hogs set if it is available. Thank you. Thanh Huynh

Hi Nebbor & Spook498, A forum member is sending me his unused spare parts so it looks like I will be good to finish my kit. If still needed down the road then I will let you know. Thank you for reaching out. Thanh Huynh

Hi. I lost them during a move last year. I am looking for replacement for the pylon to mount the missile launcher on the most outer pylon. I have the Hasegawa F-18E, kit number 09736. They are part numbers C8 to C11 as listed in the instruction sheet below, step 12. https://www.scalemates.com/products/img/7/7/9/186779-11-instructions.pdf If you have spare ones and not being used then I would like to buy them from you to finish this kit. Thank you. Thanh Huynh

Hi Niels, Any unit will do. Thanks for checking. Thanh

Hi Everyone. My Tamiya P-51B decal sheet is going bad. They broke apart into pieces once i took them out of the water. Does anyone have a spare and good decal for a 1/48 P-51B kit for sale ? Thank you. Thanh Huynh

Hi. I am interested in the ZM F-4D if it is still available. Thank you.

Hi. I am wondering if anyone is using a respirator when painting your models and when cutting, sanding resin parts ? I am looking at this model and wondering if it is good enough. https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/all-3m-products/~/3M-Half-Facepiece-Reusable-Respirator-Assembly-6191-07001-AAD-P100-Small-24-EA-Case/?N=5002385+8709322+8711405+3294759262&rt=rud Any advise or suggestion is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Thanh.

Hi. I am interested in the GWH F-15C if it is available. Thank you. Thanh
