Sabre F-86 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 The OV-10D arrived super fast, and its drop dead gorgeous. However, when I opened it up to check it out, I found the windscreen had broken off the sprue and taken a chunk out of the base which extends up into the clear glass. I sent an email off to the supplier via Ebays' system but find it odd that the Kitty Hawk Models web page is not found, nor any other seemingly direct contact method. Anyone know how to get hold of them for replacement parts? I'm hoping the 10A arrives in better shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROM Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Hello try kittyhawkmodel@vip.sina.com They answered to me very fast. Send them a picture of your broken part. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre F-86 Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 Thanks. The 10A just arrived this morning, same problem but not as bad. I'll follow up with them as soon as I can get a decent photo of the damage part. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobG Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 That's interesting, my KH Kingfisher came with the clear parts in separate small box. Do they not do this anymore? I thought it was a good way to prevent damage to the clear parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandy 1 VX 4 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I better check my OV-10s they all came in boxes though the clear parts that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre F-86 Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 The clear sprue is packed in a separate plastic bag along with the rest of the sprues. Because of the way it is poured, it sticks up fairly high and if the box gets tossed about the other sprues bounce off it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnie Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 My F-86K canopy has a slight crack in it too... Perhaps I'll do the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre F-86 Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 Have to follow up on this one. I sent an email via EBay and got a reply in a couple of days. The same day, the second kit, the OV-10A arrived, with the same problem. So I sent them a polite follow up email asking if they could sent a second one as the 10A windscreen might or might not be salvageable. They did as asked, and both showed up a couple of days ago. Each in its own box. Both arrived in mint condition so I'm a happy camper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxIt Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Hi all! Hoping to have a response on your experience: I have a KH F-86K 1/32 and want to modify in a F-86L (short fuselage, extended wings) but a single spare tree from F-86D Kitty Hawk kit would be enough for the purpose (short fuselage and rocket tray). I wonder if Kitty Hawk could provide the spare tree and I would ask them. So, please, can you suggest the contact on ebay or the email on the top of the topic could be useful as well? Thank you in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
