Alweer een prachtig gedetailleerd model wat mij doet terugkeren naar mijn jeugd.
Magnifique, j'attends les prochains modèles avec impatience
First, let me say that CMC have done their very best in trying to keep me happy with this model, though every replacement I've had so far has something wrong with it. Having some kind of defect (usually more than one) seems to be par for the course with this item. Wings not clicking in or not fully extending, front stabiliser having a stunted prong (on every model I've received so far), plastic silver area under side wings not being neatly trimmed, pattern on bonnet not being precisely placed, etc. It's the same with the 50th Anniversary model from the Corgi Shop. They need to do something to lift the overall quality of this model, and get that front stabiliser fixed, as it's clearly a fault with the mould. How can Corgi knowingly sell models that have a defective part? Unthinkable. However, they're not stinting about supplying replacements, but unfortunately the replacements are not any better. It always seems to be models with working parts that have a problem, so greater attention to detail over in China would help. It's fine as a display piece to be left in its box and glanced at across the room from time-to-time, but for those of us who want to eject the wings or scrutinise it in closer proximity, it's somewhat of a disappointment. If YOU have this model, check out its front stabiliser.
Just arrived this afternoon. Another wonderful model. Beautiful model to add to my collection
