P-38 guy Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I’ll look into to that. Not sure if I even created an account or just maybe checked out as a guest. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tracy White Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 As of last night (Tuesday, five days after I received notice of shipment) the tracking number issued stated that my package had hit Beijing and was apparently waiting for the airplane there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flyboyf18 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Well tracking has revealed my correction package has 'reached the place of arrival', which means it could soon reach 'the place of my front door'!!?!! So that means it could be in Vancouver, Toronto, or Montreal?????? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flyboyf18 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 It just arrived at 'the place of my front door', well driveway, as I was outside when it arrived! What do you get; new nose; new tail ( short version I think???), strakelets and bits (didn't look hard at them), flaps with tracks attached and as advertised the cruise missile weapons set!!! Time to build a BUFF!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Time to build a BUFF!!!! Well that is great news for you Graham. I just saw this kit recently here in Alberta, but that $179 price tag did not make me bite. Only saw box. I have one Monogram and one AMT kit so I think I am fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flyboyf18 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 OK, just for fun dry fit the fuses and compare the stern parts to each other!! You may change your mind about the non-Monogram kit!!?? If you scout around the vapour world you will find a better price for the MoC kit(s)...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As you know not really my scale so not too fussy with the small details. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flyboyf18 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 If you compare the two; at the gun end, there is a marked difference in width, with Monogram being correct. I base that on measurements and common sense, since a company doesn't change the build jigs just because no one is sitting back there!!?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Thanks. I got the AMT kit cheap cheap as it was already started. In fact the fuselage halves were already put together. May donate it to the club so someone else can fight with it. As I said will probably only ever build 1. Maybe I could get the 1/144 version and might build more of those when Kursad scales down his sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

P-38 guy Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Last updates I got were on 7/5 and 7/16 with same message. "Processed Through Facility BEIJING, CHINA" Dave did it come by boat or air? Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

"Processed Through Facility BEIJING, CHINA" Dave did it come by boat or air? Mike Air, I guess. The post label says “Small Packet BY AIR”. I had “Processed Through Facility BEIJING CHINA” 6/26, 7/5, and 7/12. “Process Through Facility ISC NEW YORK NY (USPS)” 7/16 A couple of days in transit in the US and then delivered 7/20 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
P-38 guy Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Ok thanks. Maybe it won’t be to much longer then. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tracy White Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Mine finally arrived on Friday, about a month after receiving the shipment notice. It was marked "small packet by air" and it did have the flaps . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Might have just been an oversight - mine was definitely now packed with retail intent in mind and it's very possible they just missed a box when assembling everything. Might be worth dropping them a line... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave1089 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Any news on HSAB's or update sets for the H model? I've 2 in the stash but planning to do them as up to date as possible with JDAM etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
modelcollect Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 for H and G, we will stop for a while, and work in D now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Djack Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) Received my B-52G update set, along with the cruise missile set this past Saturday! I'm excited about this kit now, and I've been waiting to begin on this kit! David Edited July 24, 2019 by Djack Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johncrow Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I received notification on 20 Jun 2019 that my two B-52G update sets have shipped. These were separate orders, one made in April, one made in early June. Nothing received yet. When I click on the "order details" link in the email, I'm taken to the Modelcollect login page, where it will not allow me to login. However, if I go the Modelcollect website itself, I can successfully login, but when I check order history, no orders are shown. I've contacted Modelcollect, but have thus far not gotten a response. Has anyone experienced anything similar, and if so, did you find a resolution? Thanks for any input, jp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fulcrum1 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Forgive me for not looking because my internet is slow out here. Does the H come with the corrected parts and what boxing of the G has the corrected pieces...or do we have to buy the front part separately? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately all G kits produced require the correction set ordered separately. The set is free but you’ll have to foot the tab for shipping direct from Modelcollect.

P-38 guy Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) Last update on mine shipping reads "Airline departs Beijing" July 18. What ever that means??? My first shipping notice is dated June 22. Mike Edited July 28, 2019 by P-38 guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
