Plus told her I ordered them before Christmas (white lie - it was mid-January) & that I was going to tell her they were coming when they had cleared customs (true), but when I checked to UPS app from Airfix on Monday they were still sitting in Melbourne awaiting that clearance, then the app told me that they had been delivered shortly after midday on Tuesday! :banghead:  :banghead:  :banghead:

Well at least it keeps you on your toes  ;)

Quote from: Wardukw on Yesterday at 12:48:41 AMThat lenght of time could be the items if resin are made to order possibly 🤔

That's what i also thought, they probably make them as orders come in. They have a good feedback score and very few complaints. Most of the positive comments mention fast shipping so, i'm hoping it won't be too bad.
Also, i'm not going to use the parts as soon as i get them so i don't mind waiting longer than usual, as long as i get what i paid for in a reasonable amount of time. :mellow:

Yep ..very true ...so when ya think about it ,,they've got other orders to make before yours ,,curing time for the resin and clean up and then off to you ..makes since  <_<
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .

A pair of Plymouth Max Wedge exhaust headers.

Four pre-drilled 8 cylinder distributers (mastered by yours truly years ago - I should have negotiated a lifetime supply  ;) ).

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

I got credited on The Paertsbox website for a while but that's not why I did it - I was helping out some friends.

I understand and that's why i'm waiting a couple of weeks before contacting them. I hope i won't have to but we'll see what's happens.
