Well, i finally got an answer this morning. For some reason i didn't received their e-mail telling me the tank was shipped. So i should receive my tank soon. I choose them because of their reputation and my problem is likely to be only an e-mail problem.

Starting tomorrow i'll spend all my free time behind my front window wainting for the Purolator guy... :) :) :)

Thanks

Pierre,
If it's the same I looked at, around $600, it's coming from Hong Kong. They say it's 6-8 business days after shipment.
You find a lot of Ebay offers on the Tiger I from Hong Kong. Never tried it myself. I just got mine last week, hope to see some posts from you...
By the way, Welcome. I spent a lot of time in that beautiful city of yours.

I have never used them.........yet. But I am seriously thinking about it. I have only heard good things about them. Its a small company but from what I have heard they should be OK.
If anyone is interested, then here is their web page. http://www.backyardarmor.com/

One week doesn't seem like an inordinately long time to me, but I don't do any on-line ordering, so what do I know?

I hope they're a good company, cuz I'm seriously thinking about getting their 1/16 Korean War EZ8 Sherman conversion kit!

Never heard of them...and I've bought over 150 armor kits on-line in the past year. Don't know that it's any help, but are they a mainstream company?

Hi,

I ordered a Tiger kit from them last week and i've still haven't received anything, no tank, no email, no answer to my e-mail.

Does anyone had bad experiences with them or am i the only one not lucky... Sad [:(]

Thanks
