        But I did wash the whole package in a solution of 70 % IPA and water, including the out side of the box .

        Just to be doubly safe I then set fire to it !

              Don't know how to view this Corona thing. It's a virus and needs a way of a carrier to the spot it damages worst which is the lung. It can't get there by itself so avoid touching your face, eyes or nose.

              If you're worried about recieving packages from China, mine was sending my daughter for a student exchange course to Sydney and how they would recieve her as she has oriental features. Thankfully all was ok and she'll be starting this Monday at Macquarie.

              Hope this flu epidemic and pendamic goes away, take the necessary precautions and guys stay safe.

              Cheers,
              Richard

                453 Race,
                You've done it now - the whole nation will be burning everything Chinese!!!!!!!!
                Does Matron know about this incident ??
                This is indeed a serious lapse in you'r therapy.
                I fear that the only course of action now is solitary confinement, and, woolly mittens.

                  Seeing the reference to Dettol reminds me that in the mid-70's ( when I was at college ), I shared a room with a lad who was a hypochondriac, he use to pop vitamin pills, slurp cod liver oil, gargle with TCP, and yes - he used to add a cap of Dettol to his bathwater! Not sure it did him any good - he always seemed to be suffering from colds & other ailments!

                      I’ve just received a parcel from Hong Kong but the kit originated from Shenzhen China ( its another 1/48 Mi24 hind and this time the canopy survived the trip!) . Just to be on the safe side I wiped the package down with disinfectant spray and also the shrink wrapped box after opening the outer bag. I just hope the postie is ok :sick: :anguished: Btw excellent service , only 12 days from order to delivery and a great price too- £ 12.33 including delivery !!

                                Knew I had seen this thread...I have had some seriously cheeky offers accepted on Ebay from China on brand new kits. Delays on postage, bit saving a fair bit when prepared to wait.
