I've ordered quite a bit from them. You can check on the status of your order daily and once it is shipped, delivery is about a week away. I didn't have any problems with the transaction either. I intend to buy this kit from them once I have enough saved up.

Nice catch Aaron. Smile [:)] I've been checking in with that site about once a week for a couple of months now, even e-mailed them about this kit being re-issued and always got a negative.

Okay, before I give this retailer a shot, has anyone bought from them before? How are they to deal with on online orders? Secure transaction, prompt delivery, etc? Question [?]Question [?]Question [?]Question [?]

If this is turns out to be real, I hope they got enough in stock...

At the risk of crying wolf again...
Great Models has the model IN STOCK as a REISSUE. Finally, time to load up on some little birds.

Hey Grant,
No problem. They really had my hopes up too. That and the supposed re-release of this kit which has yet to materialize.Angry [:(!]

Hey, sorry about reponding to your e-mail so late but we just finished an ORI, and Cooperative Cope Thunder 04-1. Our busy season hasn't been all that busy in the civil SAR game. I guess the gene puddle has dried upWink [;)] or folks are getting smarter in the outdoors. We had a few high-vis missions. One where we couldn't get in to a 14,000 ft camp in the Wrangells with the Pavehawk, so we inserted a team down below and worked up the the injured climber. Packaged her up and then brought her down out of the clouds to the -Hawk. Flew to a nearby airstrip, transloaded her to an HC-130, and then into town and a hospital.
Anywho, the Sockeyes are running and I've got a few more fish to top off the freezer for winter. Then in a couple months it's time to start looking for the other red meat...you know....the one with antlers and four legs.Big Smile [:D]

Howdy fellas,

Geeeeez, I guess I should feel lucky. I just recently picked one of these kits up at my LHS where one of the employee's dumped a few of his 'unwanted' kit's into the clearace bin......picked it up for $8.99.

As the old saying goes...."sometimes you eat the Bear, and sometime's the Bear eat's you".

Tread.

FYI.....already started it for a 'Gothic Serpent' dio, but haven't got past the cockpit 'needs'.....;-)

Ah, don't sweat it Aaron. I ran into that exact same problem a couple months back with a hobby shop here in town. I appreciate the effort - nice to know I'm not the only one trolling around for a Killer Egg

Sal, thanks for that tip-off about Dave's. How're things going up there?

I actually had two on order, but then received an e-mail from them saying "sorry, we currently are out of stock on this item", and that they didn't know when they would be getting any more in. They added that they would e-mail me when they got some in stock.
That was about a year ago....I'm still waiting.
If anybody actually makes a successful purchase of this kit from Daves, PLEASE let everyone here know about it.

I know how many people here were looking for this kit, but I stumbled across this website that is advertising them for sale. Just wanted to share the info. Here's a link.
