This has to be the best luck with shipping that I have ever had.
I ordered the kit from Amazon.com on Thursday 23 February. They sent me an email telling me that it should arrive any time from Wednesday 29 February to Monday 5 March.
It arrived TODAY 25 February.
I ordered the 1/72 Eduard Photo Etch BIG ED Set for Lindberg I-53 Submarine on 24 February --- yesterday. It arrived an hour before the Lindberg kit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First impressions.
This thing is BIG. Everything about it is big. I have a few 72 scale figures lying around. If this kit was life sized I could easily slip through a flood vent on the side of the sub. Can this be right? Were they that big?
The flood vents and weld lines do not line up from port to starboard. But that also shows up in the art in the instruction book. So the right hand obviously knew what the left hand was doing in this case. But is that right? Do I need to pick one side and make the other match? Oztruck didn't.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anyway. I don't have the man cave cleared for action just yet. I didn't think I would need the room for five days at least. So stay tuned.
