speedbird2 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 After waiting over 4 months, Revell finally sent me replacement struts for the Space Shuttle/747 model. Had they made the parts correctly in the first place, they wouldn't have cracked. They made the parts so thin. Did they really expect those thin struts to securely keep the Shuttle atop the 747? Revell usually makes good products; I've never had cracked parts before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Revell usually makes good products; I've never had cracked parts before. Was it a Revell USA kit or a Revell Germany kit? The parts from the US based company usually show up in a week or two, but for some reason Revell Germany stuff will take forever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Huey Gunner Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) Never had to wait more than 3 weeks. Usually quicker. Edited August 7, 2013 by Huey Gunner Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RiderFan Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I probably would have just scratch built new ones out of brass (or plastic tube if that's all I had handy). No waiting required. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 The kit parts aren't particularly accurate anyway, accurate resin replacements are available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
