That was a BIG order - I think you just put them into the next tax bracket

Yup CT, pre-printed kits are so nice! I do hope that you'll be building one soon!

Michael, I don't think I'll order that many kits in one sitting every again :P

About the tax bracket comment (which by the way made me chuckle :D) - it also brings
me to another great point about Orlik! They don't overcharge like some other papermodel
vendors! In fact, I paid $300 for just the kits (took a while to save up that much!) - but
who else will give you such an offer?

I mean, if say I ordered from Kartonmodelleshop - just the Halinski kits probably would have climbed to a near $700 or more!

I don't want to sound like a spokesperson, but I think more of our members need to support this - this great business!

Message to my budget....be afraid....be very afraid. I hope you leave a couple of kits for the rest of us. (Though Orlik seems to be doing quite well at restocking kits they do sell out of.)

Orange, what is your opinion of the XP-61E kit? I'm considering ordering one for a from-me-to-me early birthday gift.

Great report on a vender I have not used this is useful to a lot of us who order models from Europe.

As for the selection I am just envious you have several models that are on the top of my want list.

Dan, I hope you get the opportunity to order from them in the future!


Darwin, it's a nice kit, but I can only comment on the print. I bought the matte version,
and if I may make a suggestion, you should buy the glossy (chalk I think it's called?) version. The matte version looks nice, colors are solid and crisp, but the XF-85 Goblin
from Orlik was printed on some nice glossy card. The finish is impeccable, and I think that
finish would also be the same on the XP-61. The gloss would of course make the build much
more difficult, but I would argue that the glossy XP-61 looks much more visually stunning.

Jim, I'm surprised that you've never ordered from them before! Hopefully you will soon!

Now if I may make a guess, is it the Staghound, or perhaps the T-34 you are referring to?

It's nice to see that there will be a vendor opening shop soon in Hollister...

wow, alot of us are surely envious! I am anyway. Still waiting on mine, I only ordered one kit so regular shipping was my best bet costwise. Pushing 7 weeks and am anxiously awaiting arrival, next time i will spring for more kits and faster shipping

It's card modelling porn!

There's a few years worth of building ahead of you.
