Revell Easy Click 1/24 Porsche Diesel Junior 108 tractor.  Bought it on a whim, it was on offer at Lidl at only £10.

Snaffled a Project X Supermarine Type 508 on eBay. Same seller has quite a few of the range, although none are particularly cheap.

Also ordered some more stuff from Whirlybird before they go. More as and when they arrive.

I was going to get a Frogspawn Sea Vixen, but the chance discovery of a resin nosecone (the lack of them in the few I have forcing the need to buy a complete new kit), negated the need.

Ironically, that same discovery prompted the missing ZTS Hunter fuselage half to turn up a few feet away on the same day that the replacement kit arrived from eBay.  Said fuselage half was checked against the P.1067 plans and it is a good basis.

You were expecting differently? :unsure:

Looks like they may have become over-heated in transit (either to/from your supplier).

I'd rather suspect that they had not properly cured before being extracted from the moulds. Haste makes waste...  :rolleyes:

A dunk in boiling water for several seconds should soften it enough to straighten it, then leave it in the fridge to cool down.  The long prescribed method for fixing warped resin parts. Sometimes works with yer actual styrene too.

Reskit are usually very good, with excellent QC, but I suppose one set could slip through.

With luck you can bend these back into shape and they'll send you a good replacement set!

No, but the fuselage that was missing was the port half, the same side as the drawing.  It looked about right, but I needed to be sure, hence buying another kit.  Means I can do a third, or at least a potential master for a mould.

Well, that's what the brand's CEO, Oleksii, told me...

That's what he told me to do... It's not that i mind doing this but for the money these missiles cost, it's annoying to have to fix something that was bought as new. Thanks for the suggestion, anyway. It does seem like the only way to save the parts. :thumbsup:

I hope not, but if they have, it's like i've just thrown the money into the bin... :banghead:

With the owner of the brand telling me to fix them myself, i don't think that there's a chance he's sending me new parts so i'll have to be careful or unless they'll just get binned... :angry:
