And also the newest tools that they just spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to cut. Or the old tools that have paid their way for decades. You know they'll just as easily be rid of that trivial junk! But that 1951 Hoffmann kit will be worth it.

The cab is the same for the more recent K100 Aerodyne except for the roof so it will probably be easy to get a new one...maybe I should ask at Revell AG. Otherwise I thought of the quality control in general as most of the later kits has been done over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gasman Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 It’s business as usual for Revell Germany, got a new newsletter from them in my email today. The updated MK1 VW GTi Pirelli looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmike Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I got a text this morning from Revell apologizing for the mixup and then telling me that they don't have access to the support database and I should contact service at Revell.de for assistance. I'm not going down that road again! I have the correct hood coming from a fellow Club member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
