discussion Arrrrggggg....Third time lucky.

[Guest]

In the last few days I have brought two kits,a Tamiya 1/48 Bf109-E and a Eduards 1/32 Bf109-E. The Tamiya had a molding fault on the undercarriage wheels so I took it back to the shop and exchanged it for the Eduard Bf109 plus some more cash. Well tonight I decided to have a good look at the Eduards kit before putting it in the stash. To my horror the fuselage doesnt line up and is bowed like a banana plus it has some bad flash on it The flash could be cleaned off but the bow and the mis-alignment would be imposible to correct. So another trip back to the shop to see what they say. Will It be third time lucky and get a good kit.

Alright mate

I know how you feel. Living here in Moscow i've bought a few Zvezda models. They remind me of bananas and it was interesting to have to build a curvacious T-34. But it is strange to hear such problems with a Tamiya model. So far i've been pretty lucky with the Japanese kits. Russian and Ukrainaian ones... nuff said

Stranger still to have an Eduard warped, their moulding is usually of a very high quality. Must be a re-box rather than one of their originals.

Or it's been stored on top of a radiator/hot water tank/other heater or heat source.
