Well unfortunately the response I got from HLJ customer service is that the $325 shipping is correct for DHL or Fedex. Not sure why it's $240 more then it was less than a year ago for a smaller box but I had to request a cancellation for it. Guess it's only gerwalk for me, which is fine.
-
Has anyone who ordered the new super fighter from HLJ had it shipped yet? I can add it to my cart but they want like 300 for shipping, last time with the gerwalk it was like 80 or 90. I sent them a message but have not heard back, just wondering if anyone else is having an issue.
-
HLJ charged me for the weapon pack and the super fighter overnight last night, FYI to anyone who has it on order there. I was considering canceling because I am currently sort of broke but will need to sell a few things to cover it i suppose.....

Maybe in my younger days, my pattern making days are over. Anything I do now is either just for myself or paint ups of existing kits across a broad range of sci fi subjects....

I appreciate the enthusiasm, but yes I won't be reviving this in any way. It's a project that was really more for myself and a few people here who wanted one at the time. It's not something that practical at all, even back then.

Hey guys, sorry I don't get here hardly at all anymore. Sadly all of the pics have been lost to the photobucket debacle, a computer that has been gone for years, and the sands of time. I still have the model but it needs a tune up before I would take any pics. I may do a repaint at some point actually but until my youngest kid gets a bit older my time is still very limited. mike

Well I got my shipping notice from HLJ for that one but now NY is asking for an additional $170 for shipping. I already paid them like $80 so it's $250 to ship from them but like $85 from HLJ? I've asked to cancel the order but not sure what their policy is. Anyone have experience with them on that? Feels like a bait and switch IMO.

I know this may be a weird ?, but has anyone in the US gotten a shipping notice at all? I ordered one of these from HLJ and one from NYasan and HLJ won't let me pay for shipping and NY has been in prep to ship for like a week. I paid shipping at NYasan Is there a problem with the box size to US?
-
I'm in the USA and HLJ took my payment but will not let me move it from PW to cart to pay the shipping and get it shipped. I would love to see if they would be open to ditching as much of the packaging as possible and putting it in a smaller box, as long as all the stuff is there I don't care about the outer box.
-
The other thing to consider is shipping cost. i doubt it will be very heavy but a big, big box. HLJ shipping I would guess is $100 or more.
-
I'll be going for a "thru the ringer" look for this one.
-
Not much to show build wise since the kit is so well engineered, but will get this started for showing the paint up. Prep was done in just a couple of hours. Still some to do but it builds quick.

Back on this a bit, adding more details to the engine bells, also adding some extra veneer nozzles to the inside of the engines. I can add 2 pre paint, then paint, then add the LED for the engine lights, then add the last 2 (painted separately). Otherwise the LED won't fit. Also routed out all the channels for the eye and engine light wires. Not a fun part but necessary. Getting ready to do the final smoothing on the body.
