sh9000 Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 Anyone who ordered the Mac Z F-14 from Flying Mule get a shipping notice or receive it yet?
sh9000 Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 Nice pics @jvmacross. And @Blackaces the F-14 turned out great.
Dobber Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 I still haven’t received my direct order yet and my shipping status hasn’t updated since the 10th. Several other direct order people have received theirs so hoping soon. Did the Mule receive their shipment too? Chris

If I do use sticky tack, is that also edible or have disease curing properties? Makes a big difference in what I decide to go with. I think the blu tack cures cancer. The white kinds can double as chewing gum.

I mostly like to display as dioramas if possible and in fighter mode with landing gear deployed...so these CalWings are must buys for me....only getting the TV versions not the non-cannon editions The funny thing is I had already bought a VF-1S and the "Farewell, Big Brother" edition but never bothered to open them....I may open the regular VF-1S now, but I may just wait until I have the rest of them and maybe the VF-1D?
Dobber Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 I have the standard issue Roy VF-1S and it is a beauty. I really wanted the M&M 1J’s but the identical model ‘101’ on both of them really put me off. I do have the low-vis 1S pre-ordered and will probably get the Hikaru 1J and CF. I already have 8 Cal Tomcats too! Keep up the good work Noel! Also, do you have plans for super and strike pack VF-1’s? Chris

Kyp Durron Posted August 30, 2020 Posted August 30, 2020 I got my Mac-Z, it's awesome! Absolutely flawless paint apps, I'm glad I got one. I have a feeling this is NEVER going to be reissued again for some reason, LOL!
ErikElvis Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) About to put the 14 on the ocean pass diorama. If the missles are to fiddly I might just drop a little hot glue on them. anyone have a good pic on how to properly load it out? figured it out. Did have to use a little hot glue on the pylon things. One absolutely wouldn’t stay in and the other was loose. Currently set up on the ocean pass diorama. Putting the little metal wires in the holes for the ocean spray to where they wouldn’t come out seemed impossible. Had to hot glue them too. Edited August 31, 2020 by ErikElvis

sqidd Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 Well, the scale doesn't cheat even a little. It actually looks a LOT better in the pic. Looks like it's going on the Battroid shelf.

Dobber Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 Still no delivery, dear Lord this is taking soooo long. Chris

Chris If it makes you feel any better they got mine her before yours. But the box was so crushed that I couldn't slide the inner box/tray out of it and I had to cut the box apart. Maybe yours will take longer. But you will get a square box. I'm very glass half full today. Enjoy, it doesn't happen much.

Rogueload Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 Beyond pissed right now!! Dafuq happened to this package!! I’m nervous to even pull it out of the tray. Man it would’ve been nice to get a decent box out of this.
Sanity is Optional Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 Damn! I noticed the outer shipping box was a bit flimsy with mine, but fortunately it came through intact. Something sat on that sideways, you're lucky it doesn't seem to have broken the actual plane.
Rogueload Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 There is pieces all inside the tray. I feel if I take it out stuff is gonna pop out like popcorn.

Rogueload Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 I guess fragile on the side of the box means nothing.

sh9000 Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 Hope your F-14 is in good condition @Rogueload. It’s like BW themselves bodyslammed your package.
