they probably use HKP for all there PKGS possibly even CP, I wonder if they have them BRD or are they PAP depending on CPO

uhu

Well, I think I know the CPU meaning, but when I made a search for the acronym CESE I've found some funny definitions, i.e.: "Coalition for Earth Science Education".
Could someone please tell me the meaning of this acronym "CESE" appearing in post #79?

Sorry Uhu cant help the translation is probably only known to 1 person, all these abbreviations is a lack of inelegance some have multiple meanings

Well I do not know what it stand for, but it is the box that the drive motors hook to and the speaker. So it is noise and drive.

Many thanks Rivetcounter, for us non-english speakers the abuse of acronyms sometimes becomes very hard to understand...

It comes to my attention that Mojimi has left Arkmodel some months ago and so I would suggest all those with missing parts or still waiting for their kit's delivery to contact Tina at [email protected] to make sure their order is on the way...... Tina was the sales person prior to Mojimi and is very helpful ..

I was in contact with Tina last week before National Day holiday close & she told me that all the issues are being resolved & the complete kit WITH electronics is to be available by end of October.

Living near Ark/Hooben, I intend to wait a few weeks & see the complete kit for myself before laying down any money - been there, done that! - but I do hope that this time they hit their deadline.

BTW, for those of you interested in the Elefant & Maus expect another 8+ months per Tina. Lets hope it arrives before we see a new president sworn in back home.

kclank

All the electronics does not appear to be ready as of this date. i have some stuff on order and Tina keeps telling me that one more piece needs to arrive from a vendor before shipping to me. end of Oct? maybe, maybe not!!!

herrmill

Couldn't agree with you more, Ken. That's why I'll not place a deposit as requested but wait until I can see the final product in a few weeks... maybe longer. Honestly, I really would like to see them hit the mark for a change & do well with this new line but then again, I've been waiting patiently for their 1/100 Yoshino kit since March of last year that was supposedly just a few months away from completion. As of last week, they claim another 9 months is needed to finish the resin parts.

Let them know when this tank is READILY available, we will be lining up.

rivetcounter

it's a shame they have missed every dead line given by themselves over the last few years as they have some very interesting models that will no doubt sell very well once they are fully produced

HAL_HUSKER

look here this is the web site of their electronics partner - Clark... http://www.clark-model.com/eng/index_e.html

uhu

Thanks Hal_Husker, but CSC is totally different from CESE, amongst the definitions I've found, the one I prefer is: "Conical-Scanning Earth Sensor Electronics", at least is on the "tech" side

After seeing that beautiful color packaging that appeared recently, I'm certain we ALL know what the true meaning of CESE is...

almost right Hermill, almost:

Chinese Electronics Supposedly Engineered.

Then again, interpretation is up to the reader, eh?

T55: Well I finale got an shipper name for the remaining parts, it China post. That is the Post office. The tracking look much like the old US post office, they tell when your package starts and when it is deliver. Thay say 10 to 15 days, it has been 11.

Ok What is the BOTTOM LINE her. Are these things ready for retail or are they not. I have no interest in buying a kit and spending 9 months chasing down parts that should have come with the kit. Can I buy a COMPLETE  Rolling Chassis. That means Lower hull, suspension, tracks wheels idlers, Upper hull, turret , gun recoil traverse? I will get my own gear boxes and electronics. Can this be ordered and will it come complete as stated? Does anyone know for sure?

YHR

Ditto Likewise.

sevoblast

A little more patience is needed. Been in contact with Hooben, extensively.
Everyone who has bought the kit so far and is waiting parts seems to be getting them. I now know of 11 tankers who have received their parts parcels, complete and well packaged.
At this moment. lead time from order to shipping from China is about 25 days, IOW you order on 01 Nov and the parcel is shipped 25 Nov.

lavamonkey

aloha all Yesterday I received, unannounced, a package of missing parts from Hobben. I'm still missing tracks & gearbox. The rest of the parts appear to be here now!!!! Including turret rotation , gun elevation and recoil thanks lavamonkey

Darryl Usher

Well that different, I am excepting all the stuff I was short tomorrow or Monday. I had gearboxes 6 month ago, never mind they did not fit. .025 too low, output bearing too big for
bearing holder and unfix able. I made new bearings, they sent needle bearings.

Wow, sounds liek they boxed it wrong. OOps!

Panther G

Yeah, i'm still chomping at the bit to get this tank but they certainly are not instilling any confidence in their reliability to me. When they can package ship and support a kit with all parts asked for then i will consider ordering one. Not until then. 

WhiteWolf McBride

My Feedback: (3)

I'd take one with everything except electronics, ~if~ the gearboxes are decent, and fit in the chassis without modification. If not, I may have to order from someone second-hand, as I'm not up to scratch-fitting a gearbox into a chassis except in the simplest kinds (Like DMD's into an older Tamiya chassis like the 1A4) Now if someone like RCCommand or Willy makes a drop-in set, thats another solution.

If this is going to be that much of a B*st*rd kit, I'll sadly have to pass, despite dearly wanting to make a Soviet 'Beast' so it can get lost in the 'Stan, and attacked by the Muj! (ok, mebbe its just the large sandy playground down the street...
