Clearly not a model for yourself,but lets correct a few things firstly the kit was not designed by Pommes as you call them ! the basic design was copied from the excellent Japanese Hasaegawa offering by a Spanish company to make it suitable for part works,further work was done in France and finally distributed on the UK market by Hachette and followed up by other distributors in South Africa,New Zealand and Australia,the latter company know our feelings on the absymal quality,this is why there is no way that I would even think of embarking on the latest Bismark offering or for that matter correcting faults weekly on their behalf as was the case with the Red Baron,at £700 I would sooner buy a billing boat kit with fittings for something interesting.
I suggest that instead of venting your anger towards this model here, you put pen to paper and write to the distributors themselves,not that you will get any satisfactory reply if any ?
There are quite a few kits that have been marketed that need work necessary to bring them up to scratch,that is what modelling is all about,it just so happens that the Red Baron was of exceptionaly poor quality,but having said that the numerous improvements and notes which took me personally hours of dedicated work proved that with care and attention a completed model could be achieved.
I would also respectfully remind you that bad language will not be tolerated here,regardless of how strongly you feel about any product.

It's just a pian have to throw a $1,000+ in the corner and watch it rot because I don't have the time to correct what the pommes couldn't do right in the first place. |
