Martin @ AMK Models Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) Why is that? I don't know who Solo is other than someone here on ARC. Sio and Solo are different people. Sio is AMK :) Edited April 14, 2018 by Martin @ AMK Models Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A plane that had a career over 20 years, all of the field changes made, upgrades, etc, etc. I would imagine it's hard to work all that into one tooling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's from a TV show from the 70s. Called Welcome Back Kotter. Starring John Travolta. Whenever the John Travolta character became overwhelmed, he would say "I'm so confused". LOL.

The reason for the different location is where the injector air intake was on the engine, hence, the TF-30 and F110 injector air intakes were not in the same location. hth GW thanks for your input, and thanks for the quick answer gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites

strikeeagle801 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I was sent a Paypal invoice (problem with my credit card I guess) and they charged me for it. The 54 bucks has already been taken out of the bank. Aaron. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When I pre-ordered the GWH Su-35 they did not charge my credit card until they had the kit in hand and ready to ship. I suggest you write them and ask. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solo Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Why, I have paid for my F-14D and now I only wait for this kit available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thought you sounded a bit peeved in your first post, up to you whether it is a concern or not. Personally, I don't like being charged for something until they have it in stock and ready to ship. An ethical thing with me I guess. But, each to their own, right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is always better to leave a panel blank and let a modeler fill in the detail of their choice instead of including detail that isn't there on all aircraft. Obviously not a deal-breaker, but still an annoyance. (you didn't ask me, I know... but it was worth pointing out) On this subject, I'm collecting opinions in "Tools n Tips." If you guys would reply to my post there, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks, Patrick Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I prefer using PayPal. It was a pre-order too and they didn’t charge me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
