Oooh, that looks handy, thanks.  :thumbsup:

I thought they were in China too.

What a load of rubbish THEY turned out to be!  :banghead:

That's AliExpress I mean. I tried to buy the kit at their very good price, but they wanted me to go through all SORTS of hoops to open an account etc. And then had the gall to say that account had been closed and I had to go through an 'appeals procedure' to get it re-opened!

My reply to that concerned rather difficult biological procedures and mentioned my severe feelings about their antecedents!

Stuff THEM for a bowl of cornflakes too!

Sorry you had hassle with them.
I use them quite a bit and have never had any trouble!  <_<

Dang!  I never knew that ship existed.  I've never had a glitch ordering through AliExpress, even after the Dawn of a New Golden Age of Prosperity here in the US.

I think they are Chinese based Kit. They seem to act a bit like Amazon in that you are never quite sure if you are ordering from them or through them ? I might be wrong as I've not used them.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.  Revelling in numptytism.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed, badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry.

How can they say they deliver in 3-5 days if they're in China? Airfreighting models has to be expensive, and their shipping costs seem to quite low, compared to the pure greed of some others anyway.

They tend to have warehouses, scatterd throughout europe, stocked with the most 'popular' items!
Orderd a tiny, inverter welder, that arrived to my door, in Ireland, in three days!

Although, just recived a notification, two kits I orderd, with free shipping, have just departed on a flight from HK! :o

I've usually had stuff delivered to NZ in a week or two. Though one order did take a couple of months, by going on a Tiki-Tour around Europe first...  :banghead:
No issues other than the first thing I ordered which was never sent - they took the initiative and refunded me before I knew there was a problem.

Happy customer (though sometimes I wonder how many rounds of ammo I've just paid for...)

I still can't get past that 'Your account has been closed' business, and as I never got as far as opening it I won't be dealing with THEM at all!  :banghead:
