| Howdy Bunker,
Yes the new one is fitting together perfectly. I emailed the company back, informing them that I had recieved the replacement and thanked them for their prompt and courteous service.
I also told them that I would mention their service to others and said how rare it was to find a company now a days that would go to that much trouble to satisfy their customers.
Normally I can get warped parts to fit together, sometimes better than others. And in cases where they fit somewhat better but still not a perfect fit, I use filler putty made for styrene plastic to fill in gaps or reshape a defective part or build up a part so as that they fit well enough not to be noticible.
For those of you wishing to contact the manufacturers of plastic model kits, I looked up the company name on google and found their "contact" link and emailed them. Be sure to include their stock number (found on the box), the model name and the number or letter of the sprue as well as the deformed part number. Too much information is better than not enough.
hope this and any other tips I may give will be of some help to someone,
Have a good day,
Greg |
