Ulises Victoria Posted November 20, 2023 #1 Posted November 20, 2023 So I decided to take the plunge and buy The Enterprise directly from CAF instead of the a bit cheaper kit ($1,218 as a complete kit) from banned ZHL. Please help me here. The kit is priced at $1,288 USD. But when I try to add it to the cart, it asks me to select an option: If I select "B all" the price goes up to $1,688; that's $422 USD up. If I select any of the other options, C1, C2, C3, B1, B2, it then shows a price between 298 and 500 USD. What gives??? I had the $1,288 price as my budget to buy this kit. I'll appreciate any comments. Thank you in advance. PS: It looks like ZHL is acquiring this kit directly from CAF, (true or false?) which to me it means it is not counterfeited. Thank you. Please bear in mind that I don't want to infringe the Anti-piracy policies of this group. mtaylor and bruce d 2 Quote There aren't but two options: do it FAST, or do it RIGHT.

No, it's counterfeit. Concerning the payment issue, can I suggest you contact Tom at CAF? He is a member of MSW and can be reached by PM. I have found him to be helpful and easy to communicate with. mtaylor and Ulises Victoria 2 Quote 🌻 STAY SAFE A model shipwright and an amateur historian are heads & tails of the same coin current builds: HMS Berwick 1775, 1/192 scratchbuild; a Slade 74 in the Navy Board style Mediator sloop, 1/48 - an 18th century transport scratchbuild French longboat - CAF - 1/48, on hold
mtaylor Posted November 20, 2023 #3 Posted November 20, 2023 I believe Tom sells his kits two ways... one is the complete kit. The other is what he calls "sessions" were the kit is broken down into sub-kits. You might contact him (he is a member here): cafmodel.

Kusawa2000 Posted November 21, 2023 #6 Posted November 21, 2023 Go to the search engine at the very top of the MSW forum page and type in CAF models and you will get all the conversations about his models. His avatar name will be attached to one of those discussions and just click on his name and send him a personal message. He is good in responding Mike Draper bruce d, Ulises Victoria and mtaylor 3 Quote Mike Draper Whitehorse, Yukon Canada Member, Nautical Research Guild
