After a few months delay my finish kit finally arrived a couple of weeks back, but unfortunately with quite a number of back ordered parts, meaning I cant actually start any section or building at all. 
After chasing up Vans for an ETA it seems almost all of the b/o parts are now in stock or will be in the next week or so, aside from the nose wheel fork which they say should be due sometime in August - However they will only ship all the parts in stock now if I pay additional shipping charges, unless I choose to wait until August or whenever the nose fork arrives be in stock and which they will then ship everything together for free.
Maybe this is normal??, but I find it pretty disappointing after paying in advance in full for the kit plus nearly $2K in international shipping costs to then have to pay out again to ship missing parts so I can actually do anything!
