Tracking says mine has left Langley depot for the US. I can track it soon on USPS tracking. It is likely at least a week from delivery but that is good. USPS is not very swift either.
-
I just got notice via Royal Mail Tracking that my Pack 6 Porsche has arrived at Langley to prepare for international flight. I hope it keeps moving from there. I am surprised to read that news.

Merry Christmas to you. My Porsche Pack subscription was paid Nov 28 and I am recieving the same Royal Mail (waiting for sender ) message as you. It should have been moved through the system before the strike started but here I am waiting. I hope you get yours soon. I don't start my builds until I have all the packs. I fortunately have assembled a few 1/8 "classic "kits and MFH 1/12 kits I can work on in the meanwhile.

Nothing I say will make any difference anyway. I am aggravated about waiting over two weeks for a pack I ordered months ago(per subscription) and paid for automatically. It took 5 days to receive a full kit from France from day I ordered it.

I suspect much oh the upcoming Mercedes Benz W196 is coming from IXO. It is pictured in their ads.
-
I am no fan of subscriptions . Too much waiting and excuses for this old cowboy. When the Corvette is a full kit it will look inviting to me.

I will have mine Monday. It is my Christmas gift. -
Great build, display and pics. Thanks. -
The plug wires look great.

I found myself glueing the spokes just as you did. I ran a thin coat around the inside where the spokes are fed as well. I did this after all the spokes were in place. Once one was finished I gained confidence and the rest went smoother . I learned to keep a couple types of glue within reach long ago.
-
That is one I would love to see. I love coupes and that period is the most beautiful IMO.
-
I received mine a couple days ago. It was shipped from UK via Royal Mail . It tracked well and moved quickly. I did get email a few days before it came with tracking number. I hope you get your Pack 5 very soon. It is packed with goodies.
-
The Cord was my choice too. Great engineering and design.
-
I have finished the model and have no pics of the paint. I painted just the face of the raised ring where the wide and narrow sections are divided by the slots that the 45 degree bent spokes fit in . That part is covered later and does no show when the rim is complete. The left and right are mixed up in the instructions however all the rims are identical when finished. I put the less perfect rim I built in the trunk as a spare. I have made spokes from stainless steel piano wire of same diameter when necessary.

That bus is going nowhere with the tuxedo guy on duty! I have a feline pit two as well. 😃

I like the website and offerings. I glad you mentioned this custom after market source. Thanks.
-
Me too in the US. But that display case beats and aquarium for sure.
-
Love your build. The interior is amazing and and the carpeting. I am in the point of my build that I am considering doing the same. Best wishes. -
I use aquariums for many 1/8 and 1/12 scale builds. It can be placed over the model or a piece of clear lexan placed on top. I can be very thrifty .
-
I did receive the Shelby Super Snake book. I hope you get yours soon.It is real nice. I am waiting for the Jaguar book myself which is late however it is Complimentary. I am sure it will be worthwhile waiting for . You may have written Support but if not you should. It has helped me more than once.

I am very impressed with the video and your wiring skills. Great work. I wonder if someone offers micro plug sextension cords that will bring the wires out of the model to a controller? Their likely is a source. -
I can't help with the count but love the plan. I wish the controls could be via a remote controller for all the models. And a remote power source to model so batteries don't get left inside to cause future inevitable damage. Handling the model, opening display case to show off the electrics is not something I wish to do .
