Chaps. Will be starting this.  However... One sprue appears to have been damaged I assume at point of manufacture / packing so I am currently in discussions with the U.K. Importer over a replacement.  |

Cheers buddy.
The importer has always been helpful in the past so I don't forsee an issue, just need to sit and wait.

Had a chat with them today, gonna cost £10 including shipping for the complete sprue as I can't really prove beyond reasonable doubt that it wasn't my fault.  |

At least they're helping out, I emailed Revell twice over a cracked canopy and heard nothing at all. Looking forward to seeing this roll on |

Looking forward to seeing this roll on Considering the awful way Revell cram their kits into the boxes, especially autos, they must be inundated with requests for replacements for damaged or warped parts. They are truly the worst, I don't bother making contact any more, if you are lucky enough to get a response, they want everything from you including sample DNA before they will lift a finger! |

Glad to hear yer getting replacement parts. That means a lot for a good kit. I have an AMT Ford pickup that was missing the entire chrome sprue, and I'm the one that ripped off the cellophane! I contacted AMT, and was told that the kit was out of production, so, more or less, I could kiss off!!

It's all about Customer Service buddy, something that these days is often lacking. |

You are so right about that. That said...  According to my mobile phone log, I made the call to order it at 9.07 a.m. yesterday and it arrived 11.25 a.m. today, not bad, not bad at all. And, postie also came bearing an envelope from Italy containing the fill in sponsor decals.   Happy days. |
