Meng announces a 1/32 scale Fokker DR.1

[oldalbie]

Two of them just showed up at my door (8 p.m. Pacific Time), no broken bits, looks like WNW but has Meng written all over the package.  Has enough bits to do either a late production orfrom SN 101 through 103.  This one should sell pretty well and I got them both for 140 USD, probably a lot less than what WNW would have charged.

Got mine yesterday and I was surprised how the photo etch was packaged. Love the fact you don’t have to cut pieces out but just remove tape covering. Anybody else like it too?

I didnt notice that - it is definitely interesting. I remember the first photoetched brass parts I ever received many years ago came all stuck onto a black rubber-like sheet - there was no "tree" or sprue to cut you just peeled them off or soaked the part with backing in acetone and it would separate off....

There is no Airmail out of HK at the moment to NZ (same with Aussie) so I am will be waiting for mine for a little while, unless its shipped Surface or Express. This is fine as I am in no rush for them at the moment. Give all the AM guys time to release decals etc for it, as I think the options were pretty boring!

A local store in NZ had a shipment of them arrive and their RRP is NZ$139.99, which includes 15% Tax (US$92 to those that aren't familiar with Kiwi Peso)...

I’ll be waiting for mine for a bit longer. The tracking indicated processing in my city so I expected it any day. Now tracking says it’s in another State capital which also happens to be in Covid lockdown - go figure?!!!

Some good News today on My DR1 order from Lucky Models. The USPS tracking number now shows it headed to their facility in CA. So perhaps another week or so

The first of the 9 I have on order has landed from lucky Model (Not all mine to save on postage and VAT we did a club order) luckily customs missed them. All have a small amout of warping on wings, and a small amount of flash but nothing broken. Instructions are no where near as good as Wingnuts and some good refferances will really help and dowload of the colour notes from the Eduard 1/48 scale kit instructions from their web site for painting guidance will be a help.

I got my order in the mail today for LuckyModels , nothing broken and really no wrapping in the wings . All is good

  Good one! Long way to go, wouldn’t want to be an Re8 in front of that lot...

[macsporran]

RE8? Pithey and Rhodes would've sorted those bar stewards out!

Received mine from Artscale today. Thru no fault of theirs, however, the box was wet and rather crushed with a few damaged parts.

[SimonCornes]

That’s very bad luck. I hope that you tell Artscale?

[AROTH]

I did, however, there was not much they could do except state that I should not have accepted the package when delivered in such a state, even though, it was found on my front porch in that condition; so there is no way to prove that I or someone else caused the damage at any point in its time from point A to point B. Something in the insurance regs.........


Live and learn.........bummer.

[SimonCornes]

I smell BS there!! Sadly it suggests that Artscale don’t care about their customers. All they have to do is send you another with a prepaid postage label, you send the kit back, they claim off their insurance, everybody’s happy, but they put up the ‘No’ sign, because it’s easy. I’ll make a note not to buy from Artscale then!!
