I have a near 300 dollar sucking wound in my paypal account, still.

And to all a good night!

Moffeaton,

Don't dispair....Bad cutomer service aside....I'm very certain eventually you'll get your refund since I'm sure these guys aren't out to high tail it out of town with anyones money.....although I know it still sucks to have your money tied up all this time.

I would agree. I'm sure you will be refunded. If not from Autoworld, from PayPal.

This kit really looks like a fun build and I plan on getting one or two for the future but hoping that sales on this really prompt Polar Lights to do a large(ish) scale Enterprise D kit.

 

[Fett_Ish]

So I again called Autoworld about my accessory kit and refund for expedited shipping that caused my premier kit to be delayed 2 weeks. I told them they had till tomorrow to ship it or I was going to PayPal regardless. I got my refund and my stuff has shipped. Actually on its way,shows as moved from one sort facility to another, no 'The sender notified the USPS blah,blah. Probably be here Saturday. I guess I should be grateful as my refit and lighting got pulled from the closet (where they have been since 2005) and is nearly built and ready for putty sand before primer. The TOS will still be done first:lol

 

[Szyntax]

It is a nice kit. Overall they did a great job on it. I have all three 1/350 sitting behind me, the TOS, NX, and refit, all waiting to go

 

[moffeaton]

Got my refund today!

 

[Szyntax]

WOOT! Very happy ..now go buy from a good retailer

 

[Replicator1701]

where is the best place to order the lighting kit online?

 

[Szyntax]

Try Culttvman

Should the LEDs on the board be flush? On one they are and on the other, not a single one. I JUST got this from the Starship Modeler store, having gotten my Autoworld refund.

 

[Szyntax]

Mine are both raised off the board as in your picture.

 

[moffeaton]

So the PCB will fit into the bussard assembly? I don't want to get into it to find it won't work, lol

 

[Szyntax]

I haven't tried yet myself. Gotta love inexpensive manufacturing "quality"

 

[moffeaton]

Hey, it's easily a third of the price it'd be if it was fan made, so I'm not knocking it. Besides the fact that post Autoworld, something like this made me want to punch a baby in the gut!

 

[Rahn420]

Mine are varied all over the place, with some quite tall. But when I seated it to the back of the plate, it seem to seat fully (whew).

 

[moffeaton]

Awesome - thank you!

 

[Rahn420]

Something that did just occur to me. Where my high-set LEDs did seat into the back plate fine, I will have to see if the stems on the 'light bulbs' will seat all the way. The stems may have to be shortened. I hope this does not cause too wide a variance between their intensity and color.

 

[Zombie Killer]

For long term reliability of the LEDs it is best to have them raised like that when they soldered them otherwise too much heat could damage the anode/cathodes and shorten lifespan or just kill them.

 

[moffeaton]

That's a good point. If these fizzle out one day down the road, I'll be a sad little panda...
