Model Related Irk.
Just got the Round2 1966 Thunderbird last week. All is packaged nicely, but Once again, the steering wheel is Bent & Broken.
This happens on about every 5th Round2 kit I buy, especially when it is an old AMT tool, like the '66 T-bird. This time the Steering Wheel is cut off from the tree, floating around in the bag by itself. Still looks ruined. I've got plenty of steering wheels, so I can find something to fit. I am planning on building it as a Kustom, so the steering wheel issue is not a show stopper for this build.
But, this keeps happening.
Kats, please check the QC on steering wheels. Too many times, the shipping seems to bend or smash them by the time they get to the store or mail order house. This kit came from Model Roundup, but it has happened to me a few times in kits from Hobby Lobby. I don't squawk much about it, because many old AMT kits come with a choice of steering wheels, and usually at least one in usable. So, I just move on.
But, it is disappointing.
