I admit transkits are wildly expensive, but goddamn, dude. The effort that goes into them.

That said, I'm not about to pay the asking price, haha.

Did you do PayPal Express or PayPal Pre-Approved? Pre-Approved is the "normal" PayPal option, where you go straight to PayPal and pay them right away. They're Japanese so they have it worded weird. I accidentally did "Express", and that's why I haven't gotten my kits yet - I was waiting for them to send me the payment request through PayPal.

The wait for that email is usually three business days. Then once you pay, usually another business day for them to realize they have the payment and then pick/pack/send out your stuff. So it'll be about 10-12 days likely until you see your kit at your door if you chose EMS shipping.

Looking into this again, currently looking at two Civics EG series SiR or Vti but I can't tell the difference between the two.
Also what 'tools' would I need to buy to get into this/build the 1999.jp models?

lol Louis but in all seriousness, looking good!

As for what you need to get started, really just a model kit, some brush paints and some spraypaints, some sandpaper, and maybe a hobby knife. Oh, and glue. I use Krazy Glue brush-on glue for most parts, and Elmer's White Glue-All for clear parts like lights and windows.
