  Jul 20, 2023     Shipping - Wing & Fuselage Category: Expenditure

Mistake originally made with invoicing as international shipping company did not add on the cost to get the kits to port of Los Angeles so I owed a further $764 USD to Vans, finally paid. Needed to pay this prior to ordering the finish kit which I can hold off on as lead times only around 7 months and I don't need it anytime soon.
