« on: June 12, 2025, 06:12:54 pm »
This arrived today and I am thrilled to receive it!

Below is a video I just shot quickly and uploaded.

Jin has done a really nice job creating this little mechanical engineering marvel.

Can be ordered on www.okmomodel.com

Runs right out of the box.

Enjoy,

Gil

Any issues coming through customs?  I assume mine is right behind yours as I ordered it on March 22nd as soon as I saw that first thread.

I believe Gil’s was rushed and shipped early so he could share it at Coolspring. I don’t think any others will be sent out till near the end of the month.

It still had to come through with the new rules that went into effect in early May.  Unless he got it before May 8th at least I think that was the date the rules changed.  There was a change a bit later, it changed the rate.  I am just curious as to Gil's experience.

You are correct, I just didn’t want you waiting at the mailbox for yours thinking they were all on the way  ;)
