It looks like my surface shipped kit from LuckyModel is finally going to arrive next week, 5 months after it left LM.  Can’t wait to see how many pieces the clear parts are in.  Anyone have luck getting replacement parts from LM?

I got a replacement set from Lucky, took a few weeks, but it was when the issue first arose, should be quicker now.

 

Check all the sprues, putting them in to the lid as you go, then they'll fit back into the base of the box.

  • I didn’t check all my spruces but I wanted to get at the instructions at the bottom  and so I removed the two ‘troublesome’ clear spruces and turned the box upside down, slowly lifted off the bottom of the box, removed the instructions ( and the decals ) and simply put the bottom of the box back over the undisturbed grey tower of sprues.

I had problems with my clears, Alvin from Lucky models was brilliant, great communication and service. I just sent a photo of cracked main canopy, Lucky posted both clear sprue and very well packed

Got the kit today.  No cracked parts, although what I initially took for small hairline cracks in a number of parts seem to be faint flow lines when the flows of the molten plastic joined together.  Also, the clarity of the nose blisters seem pretty wretched.  We’re either of these issues ever fixed?

 

It does look like I will need at least one new part.  The rear section of the main canopy, that butts up against the astrodome, is badly deformed.  It’s all smooched up toward one side.  It must have been before the plastic cooled, because there is no way it could have deformed that much without cracking if it was fully solidified.

 

Also, I see there are brass gun barrels in a little baggie in the kit.  Are there supposed to be cooling jackets with them?  I don’t see any.

Don't think anyone got the cooling jackets only the barrels Dave, that was the case with mine.

Thanks.  I put in a request to LM for the replacement of the damaged clear part.  Hopefully they’ll respond and still have replacements available.  All things considered, the kit survived the surface voyage pretty well.  I think the deformed part was in there from the time that Border boxed up the kit and wasn’t damaged during shipping.
