Report him. I did.

I buy from EBay but you have to always read the fine print, there are a lot of sellers that don’t have kits in stock, I ordered the F189 from Japan and never got it, so I go through scaleracecars, never had an issue, you know you are pre-ordering, most companies don’t have stuff in stock anymore

Maybe they're gouging the interest by number of preorders until they have enough ;)

(I went through this with the 1/48 AMK F-14 on the aircraft discussion boards - every time the 'release date' neared, they'd just change it to a few months later. For a couple of years.)
Je ne regrette rien.

NO. NO. Protest. Think about the 1/20 Ebbro Tyrrell 005. Is it before Covid it was first time "presented" as "almost-ready for release"? And we are still waiting.

Nice, to see the pictures. I am getting more comfortable with the idea this is going to be released.
