Some of you may have seen my thread What the postman didn't bring! How I was ripped off when I paid £97.75 for Tamiya's 1/32 Spitfire MKVIII to Models in Motion and 5 days later the receivers moved in! I had written off the money when Stuart of Creative Models, along with The Hobby Company, offered to supply the kit, free of charge
This arrived today:


Packaged with this:


What is also worth noting is the fact that my original post was on the 9th October, Stuart offered to replace my loss on the 14th October and today is the 16th of October. That's what I call service.

Thank you Stuart, I can't tell you how grateful and how impressed I am My faith is restored.

I forgot to mention that, because Creative Models send out orders immediately, some on line retailers are using them to "wharehouse" their stock, I.E. They don't have to hold stock themselves and therefore don't incur those costs, so they can offer discounts. They get there order, as we see here, in no time, so their customers never know that they didn't have the item in stock when they placed the order. The point here is; you can have discounts or reliability. After my own personal experience I'll be going with reliability every time.

Mr. Jean-Luc, I was so close to buy the Hs-129 B-1 But It was a bit expensive

That's too bad indeed. The kit is listed at 24€ at Modelimex though it doesn't seem to be available yet.

Here in Greece costs 38 Euro
