Packages from Orlik

Hi guys!

What better way to celebrate a belated birthday, than with a little self indulgence !

I don't want to say much because the pictures should certainly illustrate
Orlik's absolute high quality service. I would like to say that no other paper model vendor has provided so much care/safety in packaging than Orlik.
All of my emails were responded to promptly and extensively. Orlik has certainly won me over.

(They even gave me a free kit with my purchase!)

For those interested in order details, the total ran for $100. Shipping was
some $20-30 - from Orlik (Czechoslovakia or Poland? - perhaps neither?) to California in a grand total of 7 days to the dot.

Highly recommended seller! Excellent communication and second to
none packaging!

Kudos to Orlik for the great job of packaging, and for you for the photos showing it.. Communicating and service like that says a lot for their business sense.

I see you too purchased the Iskra kit ( i just got mine last month ). I think we are in for a world of hurt with it. There are hundreds of tiny pieces and details. I will build it , but will have to keep it simple


Have fun and happy belated BD

Isaac

Thanks guys! I am very satisfied!

Isaac, yes, you are correct! I was just contemplating the difficulty in constructing the
avionics (?) or is it an engine (?). The detail in the Iskra can compete with Halinski level
kits, and to this I am pleased. I especially love the cockpit section. And the printing of the rivets is done so subtly that I'm sure it'll look real nice once built up.

Now Isaac, I do hope you reconsider! Your expertise would surely do justice to a fully
built/detailed Iskra! Will you grace us with your build in the near future? Or is it something for later?

It's always a bit of a worry waiting for a delivery.

Looks a nice group of kits. The Orlik laser parts are a keen price compared to some of the competition.

Looking forward to a build thread for the Iskra

I did also purchase the laser frames for the Orlik as well as the canopy. Since it is a complicated model, any help is welcome.

I like that Faun. I Like ALL Fire/Rescue.

Too bad there is no place I can find those kits nearby.
I have No way to pay electronically, so can't order internationally

2nd order and extremely satisfied! I'll let the pictures do the talking but I have to say - Orlik is second to NONE in packaging. They are the only company that
I trust completely with my orders - I honestly don't think I can order from any
shop but Orlik anymore!

Awesome. I so want to build a pre-printed model when I get back to building again. It is nice to know I can trust this company. Thank you.
