Help with the new Revell early P-51D

Indeed.

It took 16 days. They even paid the EUR 3,70 postage. Amazing service!  :bow:  

I also asked for a replacement windshield hoping that it would be less distorted than the original. Alas, no luck!  :BANGHEAD2:

Mike, they did send me a new windshield but alas it's distorted like the one I already got.

Now I have two distorted windshields!

LOL perhaps the second most requested part from customers that loose things or that have cats that chew parts.

It was the same with my Airfix Nimrod.

The decal sheet looked like the stencils had received one pass of a two or three pass process, and looked like they were in Morse code, which I complained about.

They swiftly sent me an identical replacement, which was kind of them but hardly solved the problem.

 

I think I got an aftermarket replacement in time, along with a host of other resin fixes which still lie in wait to this day.

Still, it could have been worse. It could have been the Formaplane vac. (shudder)

Very kind of you, Reimund but impatient as I am, I took the drastic way out: I cut off the central panel of the windshield and replaced it with an optically flat one. 

 

Anyhow thank you for your generous offer.

 

Cheers
