And Beemax comes through with three replacement decal sheets

Replacemement decals and a free aftermarket decal sheet for my troubles from Beemax Models

Beemax comes through and I have new decal sheets Now I can get this one finished up

I had issues with the main decal sheet from Beemax's Chevy Cruze WTCC kit, cracking was the main issues, so I contacted Beemax more so to inform of the the issues (which they were just becoming aware of), well, I was asked for my address and they would compensate me, so this what they sent me. Three replacement decal sheets And, they sent me one of the aftermarket decal sheets that Auto Colour makes So that are getting another sale of the Cruze kit now, way to raise the bar on customer service , and just caring about your products and your customers.

You did a awesome job, that is really neat.

I dont think so either, fourth quarter is listed for it.

That would be mine

How much does he charge for the wheels ?

Yeah Paul, wrong hand drive dash

Take a look at the last photo.

Yep, cant say enough good things about Tower Hobbies, I get most of the new Domestic kits from them, I get my orders within three days.

Aoshima is gonna be getting a lot of money from me in2016, few kits I cant talk about yet, but we should see the Rocket Bunny V2 in 2016, along with the two new Lambo kits.

As of right now, this is how the Cruze sits, when I attempted the decaling process, I soon found out that was not going to happen, the main decals that make up the paint livery(scheme) were bad, first off, they seem to be rather thick, but the cracking and brittleness was more of a problem, I was able to get the side decal that goes on the lower part of the body, with a lot decal solution, it finally conformed to the body, but some areas it chipped and cracked. I could of handled that, but it was the white decal that goes on the edge of the hood over the fender was the deal breaker. It took about the ten minutes of soaking for it to even started to come lose from the paper, and it started to crack , I was able to get off with using the blade of a xacto knife, but as soon as it hit the body, it cracked and spread apart in about four different places. I contacted Beemax, and they said that they are aware of the issues with the decals, and think it has to do with the kits sitting for over a year (licensing issues with the decals is what held the kit up) and they are trying to get a grasp on how many kits are affected. They did say they would compensate me, how, they didn't say, but did ask for my address, so I am going to guess its with another set decal(s) (three kits).

The way it sounds, most wont probably even build it , or open the box

In the recycle bin they go, doing my part of going green

There are issues with the decal sheet, and I have spoke with the good folks at Beemax and they are trying to get a handle on how many decal sheets are effected, or bad.

Making a base for the beacon is a piece of cake.

Thank you everyone

Well said Charlie Nice thing is, this is not the only place on the web to voice legitimate criticisms about Revell kits.

STVB, yep, that is one of the sellers I order BMF from, I recommend that seller.

I get BMF from Ebay, never had issues with the qualtiy of the sheets, and few of the sellers I order it from either offer free shipping , or about $2 for shipping, I have never spent more than $9 on a sheet of BMF ordering it online.

There, fix it for ya

Thank you everyone Its a nickname that was given to me by someone, its in reference to that I build I fast, it stuck, and I decided to have some fun with it.

Ive been using Photobucket for years now, no issues that I care to complain about.
