A note to customers in the EU: There is no tax-free import for low-value items any more. There will be VAT levied on ALL purchases, regardless how small. Upon receiving your parcel you will have to pay VAT plus a handling charge by your local postal service. This shop is not set up for charging EU-based VAT at purchse and unfortunately won't be able to do so due to EU regulations. It is still totally legal to sell and send to the EU without charging VAT upfront, customers just need to be aware of the charges when receiving their parcel.
A note to customers in the UK: This shop is set up for charging UK VAT upon purchase. It will be automatically added to your checkout total and parcels will be marked accordingly with the invoice on the outside of the parcel. There will be no additional charges upon receiving your parcel.
I completely for got to mention here that the web shop is open! Ordering and checkout has been restored to normal (actually a few weeks ago...).
The web shop is now closed, the PayPal payment function is disabled at checkout. The re-opening is currently still tbc. Before re-opening though, this shop will move onto a different e-commerce platform, so it will look and function a little different from before.
Important Announcement: The web shop will be temporarily closed from Friday 12 July. At this point it is unclear when it will be open again, hopefully within a month but I do not yet know.
New problem alert: the vinyl cutting template in the F-104A (Early) and (Late) sets is too small! Due to a file mixup an earlier, smaller version sneaked into the production file. This error is corrected asap and new templates cut. All orders going forward will have the new template. If you ordered previously and wish to obtain the corrected template please get in touch and I will include one in your next order.
The new NF-104A sets have been very popular! The full kit (4802) is compeltely sold out and the conversion set (48062) is also out of stock. The conversion set will be restocked as soon as I can though, it is not out of production. Many thanks for all your orders!
Problem alert! I have made a mistake and undersized the ARN-101 antenna pod contained in the F-4E Slat Conversion Set (HMR 48039). A new part has already been designed and is being cast. Please see this pic for comparison:
All new HMR 48039 sets will have the new part from now on. But I also have a solution for those who already bought a set. If you place a new order, you will get a new ARN-101 part for every slat yet you ordered previously. Please notify me though, by email, PM, Facebook etc. Those who bought the slat set but won't make a new purchase can get the new part too. However, I'm very sorry but I can't send it totally for free. I can probably get away with sending it in a nornal letter so I'd like to ask you for a p&p constribution of ¥200 for every shipment. I think I can send up to 4 parts in a letter, after that I may charge more because I'd have to send it as a small parcel. My retail partners have been informed too and will have batches of replacement parts. My apologies once again, thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
