John Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) according to the email I've just received. So is the Grumman Widgeon/Gosling. Not on their website as yet, but I'll be getting my order off as soon as they show up. John Edited to reflect ongoing non-availability! Edited March 6, 2010 by John
~Dan~ Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Gentlemen... let the rivet counting begin! I'm looking forward to the reviews.
AnonymousFO98 Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 ooh ohh! good man John thanks for the tip off dagnabbit- wished i had seen your post earlier i coulda made a phone call or two to try and order one from the LMS- will have to wait till Monday now
Obi-Jiff Kenobi Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Hmm, a new Hurricane, and payday imminent... Obi-Jiff
John Posted January 24, 2010 Author Posted January 24, 2010 Hmm, a new Hurricane, and payday imminent... Obi-Jiff My thoughts exactly. Can't have too many Hurricanes. John
stevehnz Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Oh Gawd, I hope this isn't going to become a flipping Hurricane forum now. Steve
John Posted January 26, 2010 Author Posted January 26, 2010 Still not up on the website - the tension's getting unbearable! John
Jeff Wilson Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 I received a call from my preferred Tyneside Airfix stockist today - he's holding two for me when he gets them. He tells me that he's chased Hornby and the Hurricanes haven't left the Hornby/Airfix warehouse yet. Modelzone in Newcastle also didn't have stock as of this lunchtime, but they do have them on order. Waiting, waiting, waiting... Jeff
The wooksta V2.0 Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 I received a call from my preferred Tyneside Airfix stockist today - he's holding two for me when he gets them. Kit Box in Whitley Bay perhaps?
AnonymousFO98 Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 (edited) you guys in the Newcastle area have a disproportionate number of hobby shops! no fair Edited January 28, 2010 by walrus
Test Graham Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Can we change the heading from "now in stock" to "not in stock"? My heart go boom boody boom every time I login and its always a disappointment.
Jeff Wilson Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Kit Box in Whitley Bay perhaps? Nope, Gladston's in North Shields. Jeff
AnonymousFO98 Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 My heart go boom boody boom goodness gracious me! sorry Graham but somebody was bound to - may as well be me
Jeff Wilson Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 I had a call from my friendly plastic peddler earlier today - he's been told by Hornby to expect stock around the first week of March. I'm just passing on what I was told... Jeff
~Dan~ Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 I'm just passing on what I was told...Jeff What's the custom around here? Do we shoot the messenger?
Obi-Jiff Kenobi Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Thanks for the info, Jeff. Looks like I've got a month to wait before I get my first one. If it's any good, I'll probably be leaving Southern Expo with armfuls of them! Obi-Jiff
Jeff Wilson Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 What's the custom around here? Do we shoot the messenger? The Grumman Widgeon/Gosling kit hasn't surfaced yet either, which was also noted in the OP's post. So I'm idly speculating that someone at Hornby pressed the email send button a little prematurely and got us all excited. I was told yesterday that the initial run was all taken in customer pre-orders and that's why we'll be waiting until March for the 2nd run. Tosh. If that's the case, don't you think Hannants and/or Modelzone would have stock, being two of the biggest model resellers in the country? Nope, I think someone hit 'send' prematurely, or the Hurri has been sent back to China/India to retool the jet jockey pilot into a more appropriate Biggles-like type. Which would be a real shame; I could handle some jet jockey pilots to replace the Biggles-like type in the Harriers! Jeff
Richard M Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I queried this to Airfix and they have confirmed the stock notifications were sent out in error, the Hurricane is due very shortly though. Best Rich
Obi-Jiff Kenobi Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I'm glad in a way, because I wouldn't have had the money if they'd arrived when they first said. I will have sufficient disposable income in March, though. And Hurricanes are good. I could never have too many Hurricanes... Obi-Jiff
John Posted March 3, 2010 Author Posted March 3, 2010 Looks like it's finally on sale: http://www.airfix.com/airfix-products/new-...&sortorder= John
AnonymousFO98 Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 (edited) Having been disappointed with the Shars am somewhat apprehensive lets hope it's a good 'un thanks for the heads up John Edited March 3, 2010 by walrus
