Well just ran into another problem I usually open up all the bags and check the trees. I opened everything up except the clear parts, went to start cleaning up the windscreens and the rear radar compartment clear parts both have a big crack going through them. So I'm going to try and contact GWH and see if I can't get some new clear parts and the IP decals.

That is such a pain! I have never done anything from GWH. I hope they take care of you!

It might be worth a try to contact the manufacturer or distributor for the instrument panel decals.

Let me know what happens. I and others here may have resources to help. I respond from a personal perspective of “If this happened to me... what would I do?” In this case I would email the company with photos of the damage, and inventory missing parts, etc., but I would also check the catalogs for vac-form upgrades. Good luck.

When writing to a manufacturer/distributor, I usually mention the message board site and even include a link to the build to let them know that you are part of a community and not just a solo builder.

That's a great idea, I was going to write out my message to them today. Bruce what ever help you might be able to offer if they don't respond would be much appreciated.

Do you have or would you take photos of the parts?

That sucks about the clear parts and the IP decals.
I have both the Revell (That I'm never gonna build) and the Hobby Boss kits.

The revell kit needs a lot of patience. Fingers crossed I hear back from DragonUSA who is the distributor of GWH here.
