Has anyone received this kit yet?. I am still waiting on mine.

Still waiting on mine as well.

I'm still waiting also.............[]

Yeah, Iwas wondering about this the other day. Still waiting on mine...

Received an email this morning from Stephan - including a tracking number! - sweet!

I filed a complaint with PayPal yesterday. You have 45 days from payment to file a complaint - yesterday was day 43. Received a nice apologetic email from Stepan at Profiline this morning with a tracking number. PayPal now a 20 day clock running to close this out, but it looks like it should work out.

Hated to do it, but it had been over 6 weeks without communications of any kind. Probably should have contacted him directly sooner With only two days left, I didn't want to get into a game of email tag.

I just recieved my tracking number today as well. Looking forward to this kit!

Is this a kit?

It is an upgrade modification kit with really great detail.

Good goin' and great news! I'd hate to know this fell through like others before did.

A verification email would have been the correct thing to do on their behalf.

I've still heard nothing, so I just sent him an email.

I had an email and tracking number sent to me this morning

So here is hoping this turns out alright

Since yesterday was day 45 I opened a dispute on PayPal as a precaution, good news is I received a reply to my email today with a tracking number.
Looks like all will end well...

Is there a website to see what the kit looks like?

Here's the Link .

This was only on the second page about the Profiline Sherman: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_10852962/tm.htm

Happy to report the package arrived today via registered mail - so it took about a week once mailed. The package was in good shape, the parts look very clean. A quick once over and I did not see any air bubbles. EDIT - the 'Chip' is suppose to be there per the assembly instructions One small chip at the base of the turret, but it will not be a big deal. Included a CD with all the product pictures you seen posted previously, plus assembly instructions (illustrations). The only thing I can think of adding right now is some guidance on where to cut the existing tank hull. I'll just cut a little less than I think is needed and I can always sand my way to perfect EDIT - they say cut at 50% of the turret ring diameter, so they did cover it.

Time for me to tell PayPal this has been successfully resolved.


Follow-up: Did anyone else get the wire parts - mine did not include any. They appear to call out existing parts clearly in the instructions, and the wire parts are just labeled "Handle Wire". If not included I can just start bending some paperclips.

Glad to see that you after a lengthy wait have received your kit, it’s just a shame that you had to remind him

Fantastic that it arrived and all in one piece. Can't wait to see you get her done. I really like the early M34 mantlet ... so I need to get me one of these too.

So you use paper clips, huh? I like the brass rod myself. Have an assortment of the stuff too.

I have a parcel pickup note in my mail today. Registered. I hope it is the Sherman

Sorry to hear you guys had to nag Profiline for a result - I hope that was only down to them being swamped and nothing more sinister [][][]

Just got back from the post office with my Proline Sherman.

THis is the best casting work I have ever seen. As long as I don't screw it up this should make a very nice Sherman.

I was just patient, and never had to nag to get mine. It did take a while longer then I would have liked, but it was well worth the wait.

Be honest, you opened the box in the car didn't you?

Perry

Haha! He probably started to work on it in the car!

The only reason I nagged is I was at Day 43 of PayPals 45 day window to complain. Seven weeks after taking someones money and NO notice is a bit long. (That and having previously been burned by waiting too long with PayPal.)

The end result was worth it - the castings do look as good as the previously posted picts - and I would buy from Profiline again - I would just send them a friendly email reminder closer to the 21 day mark



YHR - did yours come with the wire bits?

Thanks
