Brian's 1/200 Yamato Build

[Ian M]

If you look on HMS Hood association site the fault list is huge. Trumpeter turned down help and advice from them

Total idiots

I think the HA exaggerated things a bit due to feeling Piddled upon by Trumpeter. Funny 'cause they where chuffed at them for the 1/350 Hood.

I tend to agree the main is the aft funnel which i have ordered from model monkey also the rudder for the Yamato, spent up now for the year

Your not going to believe this guys, the replacement Yamato delivered and its incomplete no manual and no PE getting a bit pi55ed of to be honest.
I have ordered the aftermarket deck and guns so I need to reorder.

Your not going to believe this guys,

Where are you buying them from? Sounds like an importer needs a wake-up call. If you reorder tell them that they need to check it befor sending.

It's Amazon so they won't check contents Ian, can't even speak to anyone to get them to just send missing bits

Really sorry for your misfortunes with Yamato and the "not-so-useful-to-planet" part of the South American rainforest.
Will follow your build any choice you'll make.

One of the biggest reasons I do not buy from Amazon. Cheap yes but service? How much does she cost on A mongzone
?

Why don't people just write Amazon ? It's not like its a good advert. (yes I know any free advert is a good advert. But even the negative ones?)

Tbh I have never had a problem with Amazon until now and it's £70 cheaper than anywhere else I can get it plus free shipping, so yes I've had a bad experience but I also had the same from retail shops there is no way my local model shop would go through a 1/200 kit and check its all there!!

Surely if there are parts missing it has to be the manufacturer's fault? I'm sure the Amazon warehouse staff are far too busy to open boxes and steal some of the parts.
