Arpie Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Hello all, Wasn't sure where to put this thread but it does relate to a airliner kit that I'm about to start the AModel 1/144 Let L-410. I was just wondering if anyone had any experience or success contacting AModel regarding spare parts? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flankerman Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Your best bet is their World-Wide Distibutor..... International Business Group (IBG) based in Warsaw, Poland. Email [email protected] Web www.ibg.com.pl At least that's what I have on the side of the box. Good Luck ! Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpie Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) This is the kind of smart alec answer that can sometimes make online forums quite hostile. Yes I can read the side of the box both with and without my glasses. I was simply looking for advice incase anybody had been in touch with them before and what experience or tips they had. Contacting the smaller manufacturers can sometimes be tricky hence the question. I can see now this was wrong but thank you for bringing me down a peg or two.

Shar2 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Calm down chap. I'm sure that wasn't Flankermans intent, and he certainly wasn't hostile, unlike your reply. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toms111s Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Why would you ask for advice and then give someone grief for trying to help? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pin Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 AModel is a small short-run company. There are simply no such thing as "spare parts". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know Ken personally but I tremendously enjoy reading his threads or replies which are always very interesting and NEVER cocky. Perhaps should you read & think twice before typing... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Let's not compound Arpie's outburst with digs about it please? If he's misunderstood Ken's post, at least give him time to realise it and apologise. We're none of us perfect, and sometimes misunderstand, or snap at people that don't deserve it. Being big enough to own up to it and say sorry is the hard part 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony.t Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I can appreciate your angst Arpie. I used the side-of-box contact point in an email (to get the correct long canopy part for the Su-9U Maiden) and received a replacement part in about a week - unfortunately they sent another single-seat canopy part and, tragically, that was broken in transit as it was put in the middle of their catalogue in a Jiffy bag. Hannants fixed the problem after discovering all their Su-9Us in stock had the incorrect canopy part and got a batch through. The part from Hannants arrived in a substantial box equipped with bubble bags. Maiden assembly to resume shortly. If it's an incorrect part I would advise going back to the retailer first (unless it's been sitting in the stash for ages). HTH Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
