Takom Pz 111 Ausf M, Kursk new blitz kit

[BattleshipBob]

Bob,
I can understand your disappointment with this kit. As you say for a new kit it is badly moulded.

Hi Paul

I was wondering if the guy whos building this was just being fussy but no i was shocked. Has anybody built any other Takom kits,??

Sorry to hear about the fit issues Bob. You should expect better from a £30 kit. I hope you stick with it.

Hi Steve.

Ill beat the bugger, want to add Kursk mud and dust!!

Great start then Bob, :disappointed2:.
Can you imagine a new modeler having this, probably put him off for life.
Agree with Steve H, an email when your able.

Not good enough, doesn't matter how much it cost. Just shows they have no checking done.:sad::angry:

Which page Bob, the armour modellers page or their home page ?

[BattleshipBob]

Home page, never used facebook so still blindly walking around the site with a confused look, i know normal for me !!

[BattleshipBob]

Finally they are sending two new sprues, free but $8 postage. Do not mind paying that about a fiver.

Interested to see if they are ok??

HI Bob,

I have tried building a Takom kit, Jagdpanther with interior...and it's one of the worst fitting kits I have ever attempted. The sub assemblies are quite nice, Gearbox, Engine, Fighting compartment etc, but hen try and fit them together.... Even the tracks, using their track jig, then do not fit the wheels. Unfortunately I have another of their models in the stash, might try and sell that on.
