Not a good feeling! Do you have a tracking number yet?
If not whack an email through to
info@ammo.es (assuming I remember correctly that you also ordered from Ammo Mig?) quoting your order number. They were very helpful when I started asking questions.

Went to the office for paperwork duties and found the Canada post slip that a parcel was ready for pick up
Yep she is here and she is a big girl. Not my largest kit by box, but she is a huge bird
Ammo literature
Out of the packing box, all looks ok
Sprues organized as I have seen on the videos
My clear parts look ok, a bit rubbed in a couple spots but easily polished. The birdcage for the cockpit window is unbroken
interior detail is phenomenal
The fuselage part is longer than my 1/72 Short Sterling model
Wow, what a kit

Excellent news

- I'm glad you've got yours safe and sound too. Are we the only two mad enough to have bought one??
Not checked my parts yet. Someone on the Facebook page recommended checking the clear parts for breakage so I might have a nose tomorrow. I want to.fimd the instruction manual too.
No Ammo literature in mine that I've found thus far.
When looking at the fuselage section lengths I think you are only looking at ⅘ of the total length. The fuselage body ends at the rear of the cockpit so you have to add the length of the cockpit, the nose, nose turret and bomb aimers bubble to that....

Oh - and the tail turret. This is the kit that keeps on growing!!

Awesome that another one has landed!
Would be great to see at least one build thread on here at some point

Ya it is a bit bigger than I expected
Perhaps just build the cockpit and tail sections?
Have some time to think on it, lots of other stuff in front of her in the build list

So I did a dig to the bottom of the sprues and found the instruction booklet and the decals
Took some photos of the manual as I have not seen it online before
Some nice full colour reference photos
The actual instructions look very much like a WNW kit

That's a really nice instruction booklet. Reminds me of the Das Werks booklet that came with my U-9.
