wmkjr Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 Tampo markings would mean you have the pad printing machine to tamp them. I'd just say sticker sheet. Quote

borgified Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 Hopefully that Arcadia will do Nora's as well, then we can see the colours pop out on her version. And no I'm not getting 5 copies of Nora's when it gets released @sqidd as I have my limits. 40K yen is still a chunk of change for me. Quote
Moosey Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 Aw man, I'm going away next week for 2 weeks so i didn't want to ship mine (to the UK) incase it gets stuck in transit (customs) while I'm away. Can't wait to get my hands on this beast. Need a new detolf just for it by the looks of it ;p Quote

Unfortunately not enough to make use of such machinery lol I'm hoping with a little patience I can do a half decent job anyway. The no step markings will probably take some time as they are both small and plentyful. I'm sure there was a picture of the new 51 with full markings on here. Quote
davidwhangchoi Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 So when will the premium finish come out? i'm looking forward to mine saying A.N. Spacy on the legs. Quote

Look forward to it though, the cost... Not so much. Edited September 2, 2019 by TrickyCustomer Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 Given the PF SDF-1 and PF VF-0D, I'm wondering if Arcadia will be moving more towards really "premium" premium finishes. Tampo, panel lining, top-coat, weathering, etc... A weathered SV-51 Ivanof could look pretty cool, but I think the Nora would be better clean. Quote

Now the question... How would Arcadia PE Ivanoff's 51?? It's already black and the tampos are going to be harder to see if it gets the green light for production. I agree with you there as Nora's should be left as is. Quote
TrickyCustomer Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 I found the picture with the markings. Can never have too many no steps markings on your control surfaces. I suppose that's not half a bad as some of the other valkyries. Quote
wmkjr Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 I wouldn't want white no step markings on a black aircraft. Maybe dark grey or red. Quote

Lolicon Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 Was hoping to get it today, then remembered the date. Quote

HLJ was down for scheduled maintenance the day the SV-51 was released, but you were able to request shipping as soon as the site came back up. I think I got tracking this afternoon... so all good.

lmtsuper Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 (edited) It seems Nippon-Yasan has the sv51 at a much lower price than other online shops. Never order from them, are they reliable? Edited September 3, 2019 by lmtsuper Quote

Never order from them, are they reliable? From what I've read here, they're reliable but slow to ship. If you're patient they'll come through. Just don't expect them to ship immediately once they receive stock on any particular item. Shipping costs are usually on the high side with them as well. Quote

lmtsuper Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 Thank you for the information. Might just stick with HLJ. Quote

Never order from them, are they reliable? Depends how quick you want it. You can save a lot of money if you wait three months via Ferry. If you want it this week they charge exorbitant amounts for EMS/UPS, and they also won’t ship it fast enough to get it this week on top of the excessive price.

However just be aware risks of damaged boxes as amazon sellers do not pack as well as the ami, hlj, cdj, n-y, ae retailers. The few instances i had from amazon had torn corners (and in one instance a gaping hole in the corner!) and flattened tops. Minimal to no damage on the box inside, however i shudder to think it something else heavier would be piled on top. Edited September 3, 2019 by seti88 Quote

Incorrect, ferry does have tracking although I rarely bother checking. I just enjoy surprises in front of my house whenever they come. FWIW, I paid $333 for mine shipped from NY using a discount code (I think it was 3% off). As mentioned, Amazon ships in nearly paper thin boxes, I've had boxes delivered that were completely torn open. The good thing is they also skrink wrap to a board so luckily, I have not recieved anything damaged but it is a bit scary to see a box delivered like this: Quote

Specifically the beautiful blue, white and grey one that was shown on here a few years back. That would be worthy of another 51 purchase. Edited September 3, 2019 by TrickyCustomer Quote

Maybe it wasn’t called ferry, or perhaps they dropped that option. i had a book delivered by amazon before and the package was torn at the corner with water marks!
