It's interesting - the Fly Hawk kits from Sunlight Model Store have a 10.00 shipping fee.
I checked out the shipping fee for an SS Models kit and it was $500.00
So, if one can live without a 3D kit, just wait until this whole thing blows over.... Besides, except for the small parts, most 3D hulls I've received are a kind of crappy.

Hello All,
I've noticed that some but not all vendors of 3D-printed ship model kits out of China are quoting shipping from $200 to $1,000. An example is some (at least) SSModel kits in 1/700 or 1/350.
Anyone have any information on this? I wonder if it has to do with the tariffs due to go into effect May 2nd. And no, I haven't asked one of the vendors yet.
Thanks,
Art
