Greetings, I just purchased the weekend Dr.I and it contained two of the same sprues making it impossible to build the model. I returned it to my hobby shop and the other one on the shelf was the same- two identical sprues! I emailed Eduard but have gotten no response. Anyone else have the same experience?

No thankfully, but Jackflash posted advice on just this problem the other day, headed Manufacturer problems, I dont know how to link to it but its in this forum,

I have heard Eduard are usually pretty good at sorting this kind of problem out though.

Little help I know but.

Hi Thomas

Stephen alerted me to the problem you found, so I've dropped our contact at Edward a line on your behalf too.

All the best

I have had this problem with Eduards kit box by Accurate Minitures and had no trouble at all with getting the replacement spruce . Even had this happen with Eduard themself and if you go on their web site you will be able to get the help from there as well . Eduard is really cool when this happens and will make it right , just takes time .

Nowhere but Aeroscale could this happen. A staffer helps out contacting a manufacturer for a member. Rowan you are an Ace of Aces!

Hi,

everyone of you who had experienced this problem, please feel freely to contact Eduard at [email protected] or if you will not get an answer on time (there is possible, that the address is temporarily overwhelmed - by lot of orders or question emails that needs to be answered), please let know Rowan (Merlin). He can forward this request to me.
Bye, Jan

Wow is right! You can't beat that deal with a stick !

I've really come to enjoy the Eduard line of products, and to have this kind of service is like a good 'head' on a glass of beer..
