Airfix

Just had some outstanding customer service from Airfix Spares Dept. I was building a Skyvan for the Anything But Military GB over on BTS, but the masking fluid I used on the glazings didn't work properly, with the effect that all of them are ruined. They not only had a replacement clear sprue for this model that was last issued in 2002, but they sent it to me yesterday, BEFORE sending me an e-mail asking me for payment, and the part arrived this morning before I had a chance to ring them up and pay them. Total cost? £4 including that very fast postage.

Way to go Airfix!

But we can be rebels and glue the cockpit together first eh ?!

Only if we ever actually lay hands on one...

They always had a great reputation. Glad it's still good

Good to hear. My favourite model company gets better and better ! Well, except for the part where my LHS can't get their kits anymore ;-)

How does one contact the superb Airfix Spares Dept please, never having done it in my whole life before.

I want to buy a new decal sheet for mt F6 Lightning so I can build it as an F6, having used the overwing tank stencils on the PR9.

Through the website here: http://www.airfix.com/contact

It may take them a while to get around to your query (was about 10 days for me).

Thanks for that, I'll give them a try, no rush to do the F6 for me anyway.

im fairly certain I just called them, admittedly it was over the crimbo  new year stretch, so I think they were glad of a voice to talk too

That would be BRILL Trevor, thanks so much. 

Does that mean you'll be joining the 'No stencils on my Lightning' club too?

actually kit having waited so long for decent F6 kits to turn up i have plenty of aftermarket decal sheets for the type. fact is some of the lightning spares i do have have found their way into an ancient pegasus BP P111A kit i bought at southwell last week.

Just a small  for Humbrol. Got a bottle of their acrylic thinners today (want to see if some of the metal colours behave better on a brush when thinned) and it was absolutely full to the brim  Much better then all those companies who for instance give you 500 ml in a 750 ml bottle. They only charge you for 500 ml but I just feel it's a bit of a con. I once had to buy two bottles of one manufacturers product in order to fill one bottle

Can't get that stuff in my neck of the woods for love nor money....

WH Smiths in Reading is probably your nearest branch with a Modelzone Lance. They should have it

I was in there earlier in the week and they didn't have any. Plenty of the other stuff, but no Acrylic thinner!!
