Hobbyfan don't make the recast by himselfs, they ask the recast to someone else, when there are at least 10 request for a kit. That's because dates can changes, it's out of his direct control, they receive the kits from a workshop.
I been puchased about 6 times in hobbyfan, and the communication and response always was very fine. Even sometimes I receive kits before the release date.
I think that you should write him, they explain to you the problem, for sure.
Please keep us informed, I want to purchase that kit too.
