I need to write a opinion concerning Revell Germany. I had lost one of the anchors of my Colombo Express. And I wrote a email to Revell Germany in January explaining my "problem" and if they could to send me one anchor for this model kit. Today, I received a box with two of this anchors. All for free.


Thank you REVELL!!! View attachment 248145

This is very impressive Héctor! These are like floating islands with a city for a bridge. Fantastic work on the stairs, that photo etch made a world of difference. Superb paintwork can't wait to see it with its container load.
