From France ! Thank you for the delicacy !
I think it was damaged in postal sorting center.
I never had such issue, before.

Could have been caught in a conveyor or something.
You were lucky nothing was damaged or lost from the kit.

Man, that sucks! I don’t care where it happened, that’s just un-called for. 
Scaring the bejesus outa’ me, since I’ve got a big box of pre-order coming soon.

Ouch, that was very lucky all the parts were safe and accounted for.

I think some former UPS workers must have migrated to France. Glad the parts were all ok.

No kits yet from postie but these arrived;
Mini compressor has two outlets so can run two airbrushes at the same time and pressure control, only 35db! Basic double action airbrush included. Came with the ‘sample’ paint from their new range of paints, you don’t get to choose the colour.

How much did it cost? I got my compressor on amazon and was thinking of replacing it.
Postie delivered some kits
I’ll probably get a Eduard A-5 overtrees to replace the old Dragon kit now I’ve looked at the plastic in the box.

Uk price is currently £64.99 with a £15 discount.
You have to indicate which plug type you need when ordering.
They also have announced a new mini compressor coming out later in the year.

Cool thank you!
Good catch, Luciano! I would also get the HB Devastator (still have to old Monogram kit in my stash) and the Barracuda. A Grace is also still sleeping in my stash since years … 
Huma kit. Look at those fine decals.
The hobby shop has three others: Klemm Kl 25; DSF 228; I don’t recall but think its the Flamingo.

@Littorio: I love the Devastator cover art! brillant!
As a kid I bought model kits because of their cover art!

@BlackWidow @basco Thank you, I have a few others already in the stash and a couple more on their way, I feel the Barracuda will hit the bench once it’s clear.
Well some supplies found their way to my door.

My LHS had the Hobbyboss Devastator earlier last year. It did look good when I lifted the lid. I’m still holding out for a new 1/72, but it’s not looking likely. I had in mind to do a small collection of aircraft used at Midway.
I’ve had a few things arrive the last couple of days.
First up, some canopy masks and a Yahu instrument panel for that Airfix Blenheim I’m working on. First time I’ve bought one of theirs so interested to see how it fits and looks.
I needed some replacement decals for the Hobbyboss Lynx I’m doing for the Torpedo campaign and this sheets looked about the best. It gives lots of other aircraft too.
Airfix are offering a free series 1 kit with the purchase of this year’s catalogue, so I thought what the heck let’s see what I get. Got the P-40B in Pearl Harbour colours. Not a bad thing. I’m looking forward to that Canberra though.
Made a trip to the shop earlier this afternoon and walked out with the Special Hobby Percival Pembroke. Looks like a good one.

I occasionally dabble in aircraft and identified this one as a suitable project for a bit of “What-Iffery”, in due course:

Interesting. Had no idea this was kitted. The MB5 showed a lot of promise.
