I had been interested in building the 1/25 version of this kit for some time. Life and other kits got in the way as did concern for the impacts of the war in Ukraine and potential tariff issues. I finally saw a way clear and placed my order at the end of May through the Nikitin Hobbyskipper site. The order shipped right away and arrived in my little town in California on 8 June, amazingly fast. The package was wrapped in 3/4 inch styrofoam and clear plastic wrap and arrived in great condition. No extra tariff charges were levied prior to delivery (via Amazon and USPS on the US end). Will save you all the unboxing as that has been done as well as the fantastic how to videos by Olha Batchvarov. Just wanted to pass along a great example of prompt and effective customer service. Can’t wait to get started.
