According to my UPS tracking info. My Mopac Pa’s were shipped to me from SSM on 3/19/18 they are in transient to my Oregon address for delivery 3/21/18. So I guess we can say the are now shipping. When I receive these I will post the finished production models with a critique.

Hopping they hit the mark on this, as right now I am working On the Mopac E6 AB 7002 7003.

The SSM 3rd Rail Mp PA’s will arrive stateside to SSM on 3/10/18. Orders will start shipping on 3/20/18. These models are fully
reserved but there are stand buy models maybe. The MP and SP are the only ones that will have the Farr grills, the remainder
of the run is the regular type PA grills.

I am really hoping they hit the mark on these for the MP versions. I an getting two MP 8019 and 8026.

Gregg and All

Scott said hind sight is 20 20 . The PA the builder was able to correct the lower head light as is should be.
The nose MP herald needed improvement. best they can do is send a corrected herald as a decal to add to the model.

The models are presently being boxed up and the container box is being loaded .

Now for me Lesson learned.I have to look at everything that I get to critique in the future, heralds have been a big issue.
Scott told me if they get caught in time for things are not right he will have them corrected.

On the PA’s I should have pushed for a photo etched wing sections and had a decal add over that. that would have been nice.

Well when I get my two I will report in on the results, over all people should be pleased. I am with what I have seen.

Nose problem huh….I’m guessing they forgot the white circle on the buzz saw, like on the E8.

Well Gregg score one for you on that, I saw that but had not clicked with me yet. My issue was the upper and lower headlight
orientation upper vertical while light lower red lens. Lower light rotate 90 deg horizontal did do that on the E-8.

PA Also should have the chrome trim piece at the windshield, missing on the model.
