Hello,
in the morning i started to start with the cockpit for my Tamiya Strike Eagle which i buied a year ago. What i saw was just terrible! The detailing is fine, that's not the problem but there are bubble holes all over the parts especially on places where they're very difficult to remove (ACES II ejection seats).
I know that it's not possible to avoid bubble holes every time but so many isn't normal. The bubble holes are not the only problem, by the way. The cast quality of the two large cockpit parts is also pretty bad. It's difficult for me to describe because my technical english isn't been as good as it should be. Tommorow i'll get some photos up so you can see what i mean.
My question is: do most of the Avionix products have these problems or is my set just some kind of accident? I've read some feedback about their products and most of them where very good. Very hard for me to confirm...

Hello Bernd and Happy New Year Sorry to hear about your problem. Avionix products are for the most without problems. I suggest contacting the about it and I'm sure they would send you a replacement cockpit.
Happy Modeling,
Joe

Hi Joe,
thanks for your answer. Sounds like i was right about the quality. Do you have an email adress for me? I can't find Avionix on the internet and BlackBox doesn't exist anymore
