martinfan5 Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Revell and I am going to guess Revell Of Germany are now stating that there is an issue with the Golf GTi and Cabrio kits and are going to suspend all sales of the kits so they can get things sorted out. If you happen to get one the kits with the wrong parts trees, contact Revell and they will issue the correct parts trees.
christian-w Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 What issues are there? I know some builders in Germany who didn't have any issues with parts or something else.
niteowl7710 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 What issues are there? I know some builders in Germany who didn't have any issues with parts or something else. An unknown amount GTi kits(there are 5 kits I'm personally aware of belonging to people here and elsewhere) were shipped with the Cabriolet bag of parts runners - stock engine, stock seats, convertible boot, up top, wheels, et al - rather than the GTi one. Someone in Poland wasn't paying attention, but for the record I know of at least 5 GTi kits (my own included) that DID have the correct parts. So not EVERY kit in the Export run was packed wrong.
timc Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 The GTI kit that I got yesterday has the correct parts in it.
Rob Hall Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Checked mine, the correct parts were there in each kit.
GeeBee Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 After hearing about these problems, I checked all my GTi kits, luckily all three are fine, with the correct parts
Don Sikora II Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 I bought three GTI kits and one cabriolet, all at the same time from Tower. Two GTIs and the Cabrio were fine. The third GTI had a Cabrio parts bag.
christian-w Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Thank you for the statement about the wrong parts. Never heard in Germany about this issue. Not yet I'd like to link to two kit introductions in a German forum for those, who are not sure to have the right bagged parts. VW Golf 1 GTI - Revell #07072 VW Golf 1 Cabriolet - Revell #07071 I know, it's German but the pictures speaking in every language
