Bad news = no news from Agora: they proposed me a refund or to wait delivery in 2023. No reason or explanation for the delay unfortunately.

Still waiting here as well, latest info is late November for availability 😞 In the meantime the model is taking dust (had to buy the tamiya cleaning brush which is quite nice)

In French: il faut enlever le cache en plastique de la base pour libérer l'accès au ressort, ensuite on peut utiliser une aiguille ou trombone pour toucher le ressort directement et allumer/éteindre la base.

So this is not working better, the design of this capacitive switch seems wrong, so the best option right now is as described by S4Simon. Please see attached. Workaround.mp4

I just received feedback from support/technical team. I cannot test it for now but posting below the answer in case it may help someone else. "The problem with the touch switch can occur when the circuit board 137-09 is fitted the wrong way round. The ‘switch’ is dependent on the spring on the reverse side being in contact with the touch plate 137-07. Although the board may look symmetrical it matters which way round it is fitted; the spring isn’t fully in contact with the touch plate.Consequently, try fitting board 137-09 the other way round."

Same issue here (+ a second radar is not working anymore while working previously but a bit slowly). How do you guys access the aft radar now that the model is almost complete ?

Same here, it seems the design is faulty. On tope of that the battery compartment is screwed, which make the battery removal more difficult.

I got reply that the display case will be available (shipped) in July...

I bought those ones: https://www.1001hobbies.fr/figurines-pour-maquettes-de-bateaux/219401-trumpeter-tu06633-wwii-us-navy-figures-set-60-figures-9580208066332.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw46CVBhB1EiwAgy6M4hViFYJNT8qHeIpMKIoSrClH5FhYSCGAANwHggzcGdEG8uCEu5RlURoC9QoQAvD_BwE Alternatively I found those ones, two different kits available: https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/32920588318.html?UTABTest=aliabtest276336_383090&_randl_currency=EUR&_randl_shipto=FR&src=google&src=google&albch=shopping&acnt=248-630-5778&slnk=&plac=&mtctp=&albbt=Google_7_shopping&gclsrc=aw.ds&albagn=888888&isSmbAutoCall=false&needSmbHouyi=false&src=google&albch=shopping&acnt=248-630-5778&slnk=&plac=&mtctp=&albbt=Google_7_shopping&gclsrc=aw.ds&albagn=888888&ds_e_adid=597398838914&ds_e_matchtype=&ds_e_device=c&ds_e_network=u&ds_e_product_group_id=295204014427&ds_e_product_id=fr32920588318&ds_e_product_merchant_id=100998787&ds_e_product_country=FR&ds_e_product_language=fr&ds_e_product_channel=online&ds_e_product_store_id=&ds_url_v=2&albcp=17226523399&albag=131767024690&isSmbAutoCall=false&needSmbHouyi=false&gclid=CjwKCAjw46CVBhB1EiwAgy6M4tkg1vTDDi6F35W1TTIXyC5O9nT0wabR99kQgrPDbjshMxceOWKdEhoCSXMQAvD_BwE&aff_fcid=357e560ecfc74d01bb83e1dcfd37ed0d-1655197098277-00223-UneMJZVf&aff_fsk=UneMJZVf&aff_platform=aaf&sk=UneMJZVf&aff_trace_key=357e560ecfc74d01bb83e1dcfd37ed0d-1655197098277-00223-UneMJZVf&terminal_id=9b0a715eeb244365a5714573f7d84308&OLP=1082700408_f_group0&o_s_id=1082700408&afSmartRedirect=y

Has anyone found workaround for that issue?
