  1. Was thinking after seeing a show and watching people build this.  What about the   HMAS Sydney II   And the German raider Kormoran that was the one to sink it. Being a merchant ship outfitted with guns that were hidden and raised when they went into battle.   That could be a very interesting build  in itself.   Plus it give the aussie something from their country vs USA and Europe areas.

    I think I mentioned this before, but you've got to use more tape, guys. Reinforced taped at that. One strip on the front just isn't enough. Boxes are getting caught on machines, ripped when being picked up...plus in the US you've got DHL starting the delivery then passed to USPS to make the final leg of the delivery. Just lots of machines, hands and trucks to go through.

    Yeah here I am thinking UPS is going to deliver it but instead it is hand to the post office instead which makes it 2 even 3 days late. Also this past delivery I got the tracking number the same day I got the package.  I had been looking for the tracking number for over week and it came in useless.  I know you folks are trying to correct problems  better then other companies but seems like best idea is to try and use one courier vs getting it by post office here in the USA. I would gladly spend a couple extra if that’s what it takes to do so.  And the boxes I’ve gotten aside from the first have been ok so far but I too worry about things falling out from the sides.    You folks believe in quality but the delivery guys don’t give a rats ass sometimes I even had a tv delivered broken  with them knowing full well the box showed a tv on it.  Hoping this gets better in time

    Same. Also in the US, still waiting for a tracking number. They'd have probably been better off continuing to ship from the UK...USPS is a s@&tshow at the moment. A tracking number would at least show it's on its way.

    yes i dont think agora is at fault for this its more the postal service and in a weeks  time i think another payment comes out .  its hard to build things when  you dont know whats going on  you get confermations from the companies and the postal service fals apart. I dont know how much more or less shipping is by UPS or DHL or Fed ex but Model space in the USA  ships all theirs by  UPS and i usually get those packs the day after it say it was shipped  or if Agora could ship that way Its just a thought.

  4. Love to build this  as the collectors edition. But not happy with the option  to get it. Even though there's only 427 of them. at this time  its very hard to come up with 600 dollars for some people  these days cause of the world situation. It is nice to save money in the end. will most likely build this at some point but  would've  done the collectors if there had been more buying options or ways to order this as a collectors version  

  5. The XP-755 concept car, also known as the Mako Shark, was designed under the direction of GM in 1961, as a concept for future Corvette production cars. In keeping with the name, the streamlining, pointed snout, and other detailing was partly inspired by the sleek, fast-moving shortfin mako shark. The '61 Corvette tail was given two additional tail lights (six total) for the concept car. The concept was inspired by Bill Mitchell's 1959 Sting Ray XP87 which also inspired the 1963 corvette Sting ray.1961-Chevrolet-Mako-Shark-Corvette-Concept-SA-Top-1280x960.jpg

  6. Most the model space is shipped already to all parts of the world. Maybe agora can negotiate more models that might come out in other areas but not readily accessible by others. I mean we can’t get the spitfire or the Bismarck that’s currently  being built from hachette unless we in the USA try and outsource it through some place.   

  7. No, part of them are etched plastic but look almost as if they are metal. Since thing will be 3 feet tall. If it were all metal it fell over it be pretty darn heavy. And possibly not able to support its own weight.

  8. Id love to see something with the mars rovers like  Sojourner, Spirit and Opportunity, and Curiosity  series.  A ISS , the Serenity from Firefly.  A  S.H.I.E.L.D helicarrier or even a Navy vessel aircraft carrier.  ApAche  Attack chopper.
