upnorth Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Is there any progress on the 1/72 Z-37 Cmelak kits? Also, have you worked out a solution to the square window on the pilot's side of the L-200 Morava? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie_c67 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Will you shrink the Su-25 and produce a single seat version? Sorely missing in 1/72! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Polc Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 charlie_c67 - Unfortunately I have to answer no. Su-25K in 1/72 is not for sure in the pipeline.

Jan Polc Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 Small off topic - I discovered (I know, after 18 years) wonderful movie "Notting Hill"..., yes I am fan of romantic movies, horrors I can see in news daily. Atmosphere is great. I am planning short trip to London, Hendon again. And I decided to visit Notting Hill. Question is - is it still the same place or has it changed in touristic attraction full of crowd after the movie? Thanks for answer and sorry for off topic. Over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkoZG Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Hi Jan, I sent you e-mail regarding Avro Prefects on the mail address you wrote, but didn't get any response since. The topic was about possibility to combine some complete Prefect kits from spares you still have in your company. Please let me know about it. Thanks.

Jan Polc Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 MarkoZG - I just checked my e-mail, nothing found..., but maybe it is my fault when making order in my folders. Can you repeat it to me please. I am very sorry for discomfort. To all of you gentlemen - thank you very much for your support, one picture is more than thousand words... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Polc Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) Gentlemen, thanks for the feedback. I am not expert in boxes, but last few deliveries were really in very bad quality. What we found we delivered back to the printer. Unfortunately, some boxes went apart after we dispatched them to customers. Sorry for that, we had some strong words with our supplier and I hope we will get much better glued boxes next time, because our the next step will be change of printer. I would like to ask all of you, who had this problem, check your kit - parts etc very carefully if there is any damage or not. If yes, send me e-mail with your claim, it will be solved ASAP. My e-mail - [email protected] And let me add our very big SORRY.... Edited May 17, 2017 by Jan Polc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Jan, Thanks for the explanation - pesky suppliers eh? As for the contents of my boxes, they're all there but I really appreciate the your offer to replace any missing parts, this shows good customer care.

Has anybody else had this problem? Pleased with the contents though! It's a rather common problem with AZ. Could be mostly some older kits, but out of 4 Bu181 kits 3 needed reglueing because they fell appart. Annoying, but easy to fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Polc Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 Seems to be bigger prob than I realised. Can I ask you for PM to me - what box was bad (kit type or Cat. No., when you ordered it and from what distributor? I have to have some papers in my hands when talking to box supplier. Let me apologise again gentlemen. I do not know what glue they use, but I expect it was produced according to some new EU regulations. You can eat it, drink it, suitable for children but it does not work... :-) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abakan Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 As I said, older kits ( Zlin Z-381 AZCZ41 ) and I noticed a Spitfire IIB box also falling appart. Need to glue it. Not a big deal, I will fix it during the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prenton Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Guys. While it might be a little annoying, let's remember that we are modellers and not collectors! The kits are great and once they are made, the boxes go to the recycling! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfqweofekwpeweiop4 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 It's not just KP/AZ boxes, Sword and Xtrakit boxes can come apart quite easily too. thanks Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
