The upside is they had such quality problems during that period the resurrected MB give (original) owners from that era 20% off parts and labor to get things fixed right and use authentic MB parts. Wait... Milton Bradley makes parts for the SL500?? Gaz LSP_Matt, Artful69, MikeMaben and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Molitor Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I take a couple days off and now we have 10 pages of wonderful LSP Fw-190 banter. Amazing. It’s summer time for you northern hemisphere types. Shouldn’t you guys be outside working on a kit right now? Sporting some epic sunglasses, a cold sweating beverage of choice next to you, perhaps a little music going on? You guys and gals should be enjoying yourselves outside and give the poor HK FW a rest. A rainy fall and miserably cold winter is almost around the corner! Just kindly saying. alaninaustria, Bomber_County, williamj and 1 other 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 It's too hot to do much at the moment: like 1976 but with a sixty year old's body and not the svelte nautical 18 yr old who was full of energy. I like the idea of the cold beverage; that bit works, like my drinking arm. Tony Christoffer Lindelav, Troy Molitor and LSP_K2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CATCplSlade Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I'm with the Mikester; I have to open my garage to ventilate when painting and the heat and threatening rain have the humidity a bit high. That and the freaking mosquitoes put me off modeling during the day. Also a bit too sad to model today after the Dragon DS plastic discussion at armorama.com, where many of us are discovering the disintegration of that crap is Italeri rubber tires all over again. The wheel well inserts to my Dragon Bf 109-E4B have become brittle and broke into pieces. Can't even think about all the track I have to eventually replace. I bet all the bobbleheads they make are perfect, though. Priorities and all. Troy Molitor, Gigant and MikeMaben 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that Dragon's plastic has a poor "shelf life", and disintegrates like the cheap foreign car plastic trim parts do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had he exact same issues with the DS on my own '109E, emailed Dragon and they sent replacements at no charge, and fast too.

Just the DS stuff they replaced the track links with, and a few other random pieces. It's a soft plastic, sort of like they make action figures out of. 1 hour ago, LSP_Typhoonattack said: I had he exact same issues with the DS on my own '109E, emailed Dragon and they sent replacements at no charge, and fast too. Was that recently? A lot of people were complaining that Dragon has opted out of customer service for the most part, and have been sending equally bad replacements or accusing people of trying to scam free parts.

CATCplSlade Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I'll give them a try. Worst they can do is say no, right? If so, I'll just scratch up something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
