John ks Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Hi, for clarity I used the word 'ship' and in its transport connutation and not the method of transport. Lol They will, of course, be 'shipped' by air once ready. Hope this helps Cheers Dave Lol Kernow beat me too it, sorry lads. Yes its true, the 71's are on the high seas, so the count down has well and truly begun. More details later. Cheers Dave Dave When you say "on the high seas" do you mean in a ship on the high seas or in a plane above the high seas Either way the light at the end of the tunnel is a 71 & its heading our way John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSpencer Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Will all models come with a DVD showing how to remove it from the box? No need, that will be online within 24 hours of the first person receiving their's. It will last 18 minutes and 30 seconds. 18 minutes for a close study of the box, the instruction sheet and box removal followed 15 seconds of the model, and 5 seconds showing its running qualities in both directions. Another 5 seconds are to thank you for watching (and staying awake) with 5 second intro at the start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry. Should anything 'ahem' happen to the vessel, each 71 comes with it's own 'froth container', which in the event of any mishap, disperses said froth, and guarantees a safe passage back to UK.
