Tom

Very nice. What do you think of the quality? He won't/can't ship outside of the EU, so you're fortunate to get one.

I saw your PM and have sent you the information, even though that has also been tried before too.

I have been trying to get parts since May of 2024. I have never put up with so much nonsense and excuses in my life. And that includes contacting you directly, Raymond. I sent another message through MY REQUEST today on the Lucky Model website. Sadly, I don't expect it to say anything else that I haven't already heard several times before.

You're welcome. He updated the original sheet to include RCAF/ARC.

You can get them direct from Leading Edge Models.......... http://www.lemdecal.com/ ........or from his ebay auctions. It's the same price either way. https://www.ebay.com/itm/256743161549?_skw=leading+edge+decals&itmmeta=01JG4CYMKWP90V7M2TJKMAA2F2&hash=item3bc715becd:g:ocIAAOSwnT5j-7-o&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKkHMbyEjnNGGvqQlvEvYQxAuaepwme5YwJ09MvYW%2FZ6CLVh3swgUoZAIwPvaxbGMIAhWxvhOWxQy%2FbGDPVVTjy1dwiaB3%2B5S0hMhQSxoqHDkfIgCgokusgJWDljLteMctXp4Dt5WKMnodUgSKVWYykK%2FW72xVwHKledPhbk9N38HfG937IuGOQ9Ao4Y9jnjBHL37ODcfQYT9rcFOg6dM

I've contacted Raymond directly as per information in Kens post. My request isn't for spare parts per se. They are actually corrected tip tanks for their F-5A kit which were later added to their F-5B release on a separate sprue gate.

I’m exasperated trying to get parts from Kinetic. This goes all the way back to May of this year. Reading through the long list of communications in “my Request” on the Lucky Models website, shows that the parts were sent sometime between June 17th and July 25th with no actual date given. They still haven’t appeared. More waiting, more inquiring, and I get a message on November 6th stating, “I have arranged for the warehouse to resend it to you.” To what degree has anyone here experienced success in their endeavours?

Conversions to do early F-8 Crusaders. With all the posts by the late Tom Weinel, aka Superheat, there is plenty of information available for someone to do these correctly. All of the previous attempts by Muroc Models, Cutting Edge and CAT 4 have fallen short. And there is no shortage of markings that could be done to accompany the conversions. I think expanding your products to include 3D printed accessories would be a perfect compliment to your decals.

I did get a reply, but I did email you with the Ticket Number as requested. And please let me know of any charges and how to pay. It's not a problem. Thank you.

Thank you, Raymond, for the corrected email address. I have already submitted a parts request/purchase through My Request on the Lucky Model web site. I’ll wait for a reply to my ticket number instead of sending out another email.

Thank you. I'll wait and see if I get any traction vis a vis the ticket I sent through My Request on the Lucky Models web site. I'll give it a week. If I don't get a reply I'll try the email you have posted here. You waited a month for a reply? Personally, I think that's completely unacceptable. A week should be plenty of time unless someone is away. Just my opinion.

Thanks for the replies everyone. The emails I tried were, raymond@luckymodels.com, services@luckymodels.com, and info@luckymodels.com. All 3 of them generated the error as per my original post and continue to do so as the server attempts to connect and deliver my email. If my experience transpires like others before me then I shouldn't expect a reply any time soon.

I'm wondering what experiences others here have had with regards to getting parts from Kinetic Models? I tried 3 different emails, including contacting Raymond directly at raymond@luckymodels.com. They all came back with Delivery Status Notification (Delay). I ended up creating an account with Lucky Models and submitting a ticket through My Request and getting a ticket number. Let's see if that works.

441 Squadron had two CF-188s painted for the 50th anniversary of D-Day, 188703 and 188781. Images of the latter aircraft seem much easier to find. Would anyone know why there were two aircraft? Were they done at different times during 1994 or concurrently?

Would anyone know if Muroc Models is still around? Sent David an email 4 days ago...........
