Dear mate

first of all, welcome to the community of SM. Secondly, many thanks for the interest in three of my kits.

I assume you want to buy all three Vampires you mentioned. True?

Accordingly, I have calculated the cheapesat postage for all three kits to Spain.

I can offer you:

- 10 Euros - without insurance, without tracking - very slow (10 to 15 working days)!
- 13 Euros - without insurance, without tracking - faster (4 to 6 working days)!
- 17 Euros - with insurance, with tracking - 6 to 10 working days

So please select whichever shipping mode is fine for you. Please note that the postage for only one kit would be the same as the postage costs I mentioned are valid for parcels from 0,1 kg thru 2,0 kg.

Please let me know about your decision. Until then, I will keep the kits reserved for you.

Dear Andrea
Well, the first idea was purchase 1 unit, but as I am new in this issue, I do not have seen all the kits are yours.
Realy I am interested in the Mk1, but if you adjust a little the price, I can buy 2 items.
The expenses seems a little expensive, because I can send until 2 kgs with tracking in Europe for 12 euros with ordinary postal mail, or private agency like GLS.
But, if you send with packlink, the price is 8,50 euros approx.
I can say to you the place on my city and with packlink send the items here for 8,50 euros.
If you accept, I can buy the Mk1 for 25 euros if you send with tracking number or I can pay 40 euros for Mk1 and T11 included shipment with tracking.
I hope you can adjust the price a little bit, and we can do business.
Anyway I looking more items.
I can send a list to you? Maybe you have or can obtain to sale.
Thx in advance
Vicente

Dear mate,

first of all, let me say that I basically understand your attitude. BUT: you must know that I never make money of postage. The tarriffs I have found for you are 100% the prices I actually would have to pay. There is no cheaper rate available. Sorry. I know that postage rates especially in Germany and Austria are quite high - but there is no way to avoid them. Fine for you that you can send packages up to 2 kg for 12 Euros. Well, that´s Spain - not Austria.

Imagine, that milk in Greece can be bought at half the price compared to that in Spain. Would you dare to go to a Spansih Supermarket and tell them "I want to buy milk, but I only will pay you as much as the milk would cost in Greece". What would happen? In the best case, they would lough at you; in the worst case, they would kick you out of the shop. The same is true for the postage: I have to pay the official tarrifs whether they are cheaper in Spain or not. Prices of postages unfortunately are non-negotiable, as you might know.

Packling is a service not available in Austria. So I can not use this.

Accordingly, I can only disagree with your suggestions. Sending one kit all in for 25 Euros will leave me with a sales price of 8€ for one kit. That is not acceptable. You are asking for a discount of 50% for one kit?? No, no, a thousand times no! And 40 Euros for two kits would mean that I would get (40-17) 23 Euros for two kits - that would mean a discount of 7 Euros (more than 20%).

Sorry, but I can not accept this. I hope for your kind understanding.

Once again, terribly sorry.

Andreas

Hi!

Thanks for your kind understanding. Unfortunately, I cannot avoid paying shipping costs of 17 Euros - as I have mentioned, packlink services are not available here. So there is no way out. I have the following (finbal) offer for you: one kit for 31 Euros and two kits for 43 Euros. As you can see, I have reduced my sales prices a little bit. Hope that helps. Preferred payment: money transfer to my bank account (SEPA payment) - PayPal only in case you use the "friends/family" option in order to avois their fees.

Hope that helps

Please let me know if you unferstand it and send me the paypal acount to make the payment.

Vicente

A. B.
Hi!

A lot of questions to be answered, well, let´s start.

First o0f all _ I don´t have any of the kits you are looking fore for sale. Sorry.
I do not have a second Vampire Mk.I for sale. Sorry - I am a private person thinning out my collection - not a commercial dealer.
A second Vampire for 10 Euros? NO!!!! I Sorry! Each Vampire cost me at least 20 Euros; I do not have any commercial need to give away my kits and throw the money out of the window.
By the way: all the kits you have mentioned are quite rare kits (except from the Meteor, maybe) - you will not be able to obtain them for bargain prices 🙁
Regarding the spares: let me have a look. But my spares box of propellers is rather small, I fear.

You can contact me via my Email addy

andreas.bdinka@chello.at

Please give me green nlight to ship your Vampire.

Have a nice sunday

Andreas

Dear Andreas
Thanks for response
You said me this:

No offer me the second vampire for 10 euros, but for 12 euros if I purchased 2 kits.
It is possible buy the second vampire add 12 euros? You keep your offer? In this case, I going to make the second payment and you send me next to Mk1, the Fb 5.

A. B.
Basically, you are right, BUT: You forget to mention that you have added some extra money in order to have double security (insurance from PayPal, insurance for the parcel, too). The trap that you have laid for me is a very good one - but not good enough. When I gave you my statement regarding the costs for two kits, we had not yet started that "PayPal additional fees" discussion. Accordingly, the calculation basis has changed . Please think about that.

fascinating job, water is superb, and the rude is excellent, what a great dio!

Alexander Perov
Thank you. Water only looks good from afar. And up close is not very good.

Neuling
Regensburg (my hometown) is far enough from Samara, so the water looks good. Everything else as well! 🙂

CaptGPF
The weathering is phenomenal - on top of the killer waves!

Alexander Perov
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it

Habe den Kit seit Jahren im Besitz, traue mich aber nicht ran. Was für ein Monster👍

BAT21
Wer bei der Tu 128 von Trumpeter alle Fehler in Perfektion beseitigt hat, muss sich nicht vor der Mi-6 fürchten.
Etwas Spachtelmasse und Schleifpapier bereitlegen... und schon kann es losgehen 😉

Alexander Grivonev
Ja das war wirklich eine Baustelle das Ding. Aber trotz des Ehrgeizes der Chinesen, dem Modellbauer auch den letzten Nerv zu rauben, sieht mir Amodel so auf den ersten Blick nach mehr Arbeit aus...

Joining in late, but sure worth it. Clean built on this "filling the gaps" giant. 👍

Q: The tiny "brass" colored tubes for the wiring on the main rotor head, are those bits of cut up syringe tips?

BAT21
For these parts I cut 0.5mm brass tubes from Albion Alloys.

Spanjaard
rotor head is truly impressive

Alec K
I agree, pimped to the hilt 👍

Casey Beckett
Recently discovered Albion Alloys here - lovely stuff!

BAT21
Many thanks guys, much appreciated.

CaptGPF
That rotor work is sick!
…but so is the PE cockpit work at this scale! Watching!

Alec K
Excellent progress 👍
