Anthony D'AgostinoWarning to anyone planning to buy this kit. For some unknown, stupid reason, the kit DOES NOT come with the primary weapon as shown in the box art. Only those lucky enough to receive a FREE kit for reviews, also receive the resin and PE M197 rotory cannon.
I bought my kit directly from Kitty Hawk and when I emailed them about the missing cannon, they replied that it wasn't included in the design, which is yet another stupid move by a company that keeps making stupid choices. Similar to the problems regarding figures for their MH-60L. Some people got them, most didn't.
The ONLY reason I bought this kit, was the cannon, now I have just another kit that only reminds me of how they pissed me off. Not a smart way to keep their customers in my opinion. Why those who get everything free also received the cannon is beyond comprehension. I paid over $100 for mine, and get screwed.
If you want the cannon, forget about it, you too will only get screwed!
TreehuggerIirc, having watched a video review, I think the paint guide for one or two (additional) paint schemes is also missing in the kit. 🙂

Anthony D'AgostinoLenny, I already talked to Floyd about his cannon and I am considering it, but living in the Philippines makes buying from him difficult and expensive. The shipping is $20, his cannon sells for $15. That is a huge additional cost for a part that should have been in the kit anyway, which further infuriated me.
I will continue to message kitty hawk employees until I believe there is no further action to take. Then I will either figure out what other build options I have, or bite the bullet and pay 30% more for the parts from Floyd. Anyway, thanks for the help regarding my one true option, I have a couple of his decal sets and they are also very nice. Cheers,
Anthony
