Sabrejet Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 This is disruptive manufacturing at its best: new kit manufacturer enters the market and straight away raises the bar. We had it with Wingnut Wings and now with JETMADS. I have already registered an interest for the X-3 and may even go for the LearJet, just to be in on the party.

ade rowlands Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 It really does look a nice kit and looks to build ok too judging by Mark’s build on the works in progress thread. I may be tempted by a twin seater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, the Learjet will be as good and I'm sure they are preparing other goodies! And in any case, some Draken and Gripen airframes also got that crazy splinter camo. Yeah, there were two Drakens iirc. One J 35B (35220) from F 16 Wing. Can´t rememeber the other one. They tested the Viggen-camo on atleast one of them. And a JAS 39A was painted in it as well. Might have been more airframes.. Speaking of that, a Gripen in 1/32 could be nice.. Hell, an E-model in 48th would do! 1 hour ago, Jennings Heilig said: Kom an!

32scalelover Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I received #16/500. Unfortunately the box was crushed on the upper left corner. Upon inspection one of the wingtips had about 1/4" broken off into 5 pieces, the trolley was broken along with the ladder. I just sent an email with pics to JetMads describing the damage. Hopefully they will be sending me the broken parts back soon. Greg Landrotten Highlander and Fanes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zola25 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 so, 223/500 arrived today - and the kit looks great. Cannot wait to get started.. However I also have my share of broken parts from the "Main Compartment" in the box. Both wings are broken - one can be fixed the other cannot. I also have some incomplete/missing parts (the main fuselage spacers a.o.) - Did anyone have experience with their costumer service getting replacement parts already?

Paramedic Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I heard a guy at our local IPMS Forums had a broken wing tip and quickly got a reply promising a replacement. Not sure if it hasd arrived yet but it sounded very promising and did not seem to be a problem! I´ll keep my fingers crossed for ya!

Zola25 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Thanks - Luckily I found the broken parts from the badly broken wing deep inside the protective foam - its not perfect but now that I have the pieces I am sure I can glue it together somehow This is going to be one seriously cool model LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNoAF Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) Maybe we should contact Jetmads and ask them to package their shipments better? Edited October 4, 2021 by RNoAF Gary Needham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zola25 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 There should really be some more padding/restraints in the the area where all the big, heavy pieces (..and their big casting blocks) are placed. They are all free to move around quite a bit and you have some delicate wingtips just asking to be broken off. A quick fix would be to insert a piece of foam on the wingtips to at least protect the most delicate parts.. But I still have my Viggen-Smile - it is so cool to finally have it in my hands! If you haven´t gotten yours yet.. you surely will not regret the wait.. RNoAF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why people whose job it is to deliver goods like that can't treat things with respect is beyond me. If I treated patients the way they treat mail.... Yep. The PO just throw boxes around not caring what might be inside. I contacted Jetmads and they responded back the next morning saying they will send the damaged parts. I asked how long that would take but haven't heard back yet. The Kit got here in about a week after I got the shipping notice, so if they have the extra parts I think I won't be waiting too long. Great customer service. Will gladly buy from them again. Paramedic and Kagemusha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
