I don’t know, I think I have been very patient in regards to this order, it’s been 4 months to this day. I ordered even before the ship date, so it’s actually been longer. I’ve received three subsequent packages from Hannants since that date, all ordered a month apart. Most people would be flipping out if they were in my shoes. They are asking me to wait longer, they say Royal Mail was stockpiling packages at the start of Covid, all those packages are buried in warehouses. Newer packages are being shipped ahead of the older packages. I think it is time I have my credit card company

Awesome! Definitely build one!

How about the 1/32 Tutor? Rick would love it if you complete his dream.

Took over 2 months? My second package was smaller. So that may explain why it was faster.

I emailed Hannants about my April 15 shipment, no reply. Although my May 9th shipment arrived.

Totally agree, when I watch tracked packages they actually get to Canada fast. Once here they slow down. I suspect because this was a bigger package it went by ship. I’ll just remain patient. I trust Hannants, and like Dylan said, packages from the UK are faster and cheaper than ordering from the US.

What are my fellow Canadians experiencing with shipping times from Hannants? I order from them regularly. I’m currently waiting for a package that is over two months since shipment. They asked me to email back June 19th if I haven’t received it. They said that is typical time during this crisis. An order I made a month ago has arrived from Hannants, that was a smaller package. An order I placed with HLJ 2 weeks ago arrived too. i always get fabulous service from Hannants and exceptional prices.

....actually been struggling with it for a week now. I painted my GWH T-33 with Mr Color paints, I put a couple coats of gloss on and decaled the model. I then added another coat. I have been trying to give it a pin wash with both Mr Weathering (oil based) and Mr Tamiya (enamel) washes. I put the wash on and it looks great. I tab it on and let the wash run the panels lines themselves. The problem is when I try to clean-up, I actually draw out all the wash. I have tried two methods. The first is a rub it with a paper towel with a very small amount of oil thin

Totally agree! Only ones never done in 1/48.

A lot of the kits are sitting unbuilt because the decals suck. So yes, decals are a must.

There was a 1/32 kit planned but I’m sure it is no longer in the future, Kinetic had planned it. Sadly the Canadian connection to the product passed away. This would be a license to print money.

If you did this we’d have to make you an honorary Canadian.

The easiest way to tell if it is a late model is the NACA inlet and the vent. Early models only had the exhaust outlet for the Nene engine. Only just over a dozen received the one piece front canopy in the final years of service, I hear it may have been up to 18. So very few. I’d love the one piece canopy to do a black scheme.

Are you referring to the NACA vent? I feel it is very obvious. I just noticed the NACA vent is too high on the late kit for a Canadian version. The late kit is still good for the pylons for a late CT-133. I wish I kept my Hobbycraft T-33s, I have graft the NACA vent over.

Either kit can be used. You do need to make small modifications. The early kit can be used for early CT-133s, all you need to add is the exhaust vent for the Nene engine, which was unique on Canadian built CT-133s. You need to drill a hole and create a channel. Very easy. To model a late Silver Star, the late kit has the NACA inlet on the gun door. You would need to add the exhaust vent for that system, which can be done easily with a piece of plastic card. Plus the above mod for the engine. Leading Edge CT-133 Decals have decals for the NACA inlet and the

I just received notification that my product has shipped. Matt is swamped with business since the rest of the world was shut-down. As mentioned numerous times in this thread, Matt runs a rock solid business.

Good to hear, I’ll remain patient. Mine was showing as in stock so hopefully it ships soon.

Hilarious, you told me I didn’t have the right to speak a few weeks ago. And I have been on a carrier, the USS Ronald Reagan during her work-ups. The Captain’s chair had a blue cover stitched by Nancy Reagan. She also stitched his initials in yellow into the cover. I was invited to sit in this chair. And yes I have a picture. Did you ever sit in the Captain’s chair? You must have had a strong arm to throw a spent cartridge 50 ft at a Russian ship from the deck of a carrier. I bet Tom Brady couldn’t even do that in the blowing wind.

It’s Covid 19, although as many have noted throughout this thread, your ignorance is astounding. You post things only you find is funny.

No, as of three days ago there are 1,900 deaths a day due to Covid 19. Heart Disease is 1,700 deaths a day. John Hopkins released these numbers.

Gloves are only useful if you have a clue how to put them on, don them, or the methods and sequence of their use. Otherwise they are only essentially another layer of infected skin. 99.9% of users have no clue how to use them properly. They are better off with a mask and a bar of soap.

Georgia is opening up what should be the last part of the economy to open, people with direct contact with others. It almost like they are using that part of the populace as a test base, human guinea pigs. That’s the only sense I can make of it.

In the modern age we aren’t talking years of the economy being shut-down, if everyone does their part this should only take a few months. If everyone did isolate properly it should have been eliminated in weeks. So this can’t be compared to the Great Depression.

Hospitals, Emergencies and ICU departments are completely overrun/decimated with covid patients. That doesn’t happen on a normal day due to one type of illness. The number one cause of death in the US is covid. Covid transmits easier than any other illness, therefore that small percentage of deaths you quote are actually larger totals. Quit downplaying the severity of this pandemic.

Yeah, Hannity did say all of that, he also said the death rate numbers are fake. That it’s just a flu.
