Spruslayer Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 This is the head from the Moebius 66 ford short bed. Is their a term to describe this? I am going to call Moebius Tuesday to see about getting a replacement and would like to accurately describe the defect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt T. Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Short shot? Looks like the liquid styrene didn’t make it all the way into the mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gman Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Yes, a short shot. For what it is worth, I have found short shots in kits from MPC (before being absorbed into AMT), AMT, Revell over the years. I haven't purchased enough from Tamiya to say if their kits sometimes exhibit the issue, but suspect they have higher Quality Control, more checks & balances before the kits are packed. I only have a couple of Moebius kits, and on initial inspection didn't find any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuces ll Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Looks like I need to double check all 7 of my kits... Which includes the Dyno Don Comet kit..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironman63 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I had a similar thing happen with the Moebius Lone Star kit. The top piece for the cab was like that. I sent them a couple pics by email and had a replacement within a week. Great customer service in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only company i have ever requested a part from was Pegasus and they too responded quickly with a replacement part Thank you everyone for the replies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
