So Surprising!!
I haven't "used" the item yet. It turns out that the kit was incomplete. When it comes to this company and to other companies that offer resin 3D printed parts, I have to now remember to lower my expectations. After a 50+ year history of building things (rockets, airplanes, misc. scale models [ships, cars, etc...) using vacu-formed parts, balsa parts, cardboard parts, molded polystyrene parts, etc...suddenly, the new paradigm of incomplete kits is now upon us. For $70+ dollars (including shipping) I can expect a small box of a few bubble-wrapped parts that need considerable work prepping to become the model they purport to represent AND...I also have to order a number of supplementary parts from an entirely different supplier to actually end up with the model that was advertised. At additional cost. With additional shipping. Yep, it's a new world, alrighty. So...is it likely that I will continue to order new models or builders kits from you? Not so much. For the expense, I'm now more likely to buy a 3D printer, learn the new technology, and make my own parts. Thanks for the wake-up call to this "brave new world" of modeling, Boyce Aerospace!! (Disclaimer: Once my model kit arrived, and I noticed that all the requisite parts were not there, I re-read the kit description and, yes...there it was...a notice of extra parts that were needed, in fact, to complete this builders kit. So...once I realized that I will have to read model descriptions much more carefully from now on...I did consider myself informed of this new way of selling and buying kits)
Great Kit!
Easy to follow directions. Directions mentioned tube wraps but the kit came with decals, much nicer than wraps in my opinion. So you need to make sure you read through the directions for placement of parts since you won't have a wrap seam. I think mine turned out great. Looking forward to flying it.
Great Kit!
This was the only SpaceX model I could find, and it's pretty neat! Lots of detail.
Cant rate because my shipment got lost
Never recieved this item. Tracking hasn't been updated since Dec 19th, so apparently its still in CA... wasn't able to give this as a gift for Christmas like planned.
Crew Dragon
Clean parts. Easy to remove, clean up, paint and assemble. Can't wait to start the next one......Falcon Heavy!
