Vinegaroon3 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I guess the subject says it all. I am interesting in buying a 1/35 Cromwell Models Cougar MRAP kit if anyone has one for sale. From what I have read online, trying to buy one from the manufacturer is impossible madness. I figured those of you in the UK might have picked one up at a trade show or hobby shop that you might be willing to sell. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Shaw Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 What ever you do, DO NOT TRY TO BUY FROM THE MANUFACTURER DIRECT. I don`t have one, sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinegaroon3 Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Yeah, that's definitely the impression I have gotten from other's people's experiences. Too bad...as I understand it a lot of the Cromwell stuff is really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Shaw Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I agree, Cromwell Models kits and conversions are top notch, pity the company is run by such an un-trust-worthy individual. There is a thread on ML highlighting the problems caused by GB over at least a 20 year period. I`d buy his stuff, but only from reputable dealers.

I think it is among the more interesting of the current era of modern vehicles. I would be just as happy to build a Mastiff, which is pretty much the same vehicle. Oh well, I guess we can't have everything can we? Edited February 27, 2012 by Vinegaroon3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Shaw Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I would like to see all the current crop of British vehicles in plastic. Two hopes i think, Bob and no. Some cracking pictures of Brit vehicles on Plain military site. Now, model manufacturers are you listening? Silence may be the reply, me thinks.

ivan-o Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Just done Cromwells 432 exellent kit but had to pay over the odds on ebay to get it. Like people say if only the issues could be sorted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinegaroon3 Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) I finally got my hands on a Cromwell Cougar....via Ebay and paying out the $*&&^^ for it. It is a nice kit but nothing legendary....I have not started to build it yet. Before that, I did bite the bullet and try to buy one from Gordon....since he was accepted PayPal I figured I had little to lose. Basically people should know nothing has changed with Cromwell models. Good communication at first....Gordon quoted a two week or less delivery time....I PayPaled him the money....and he dropped off the face of the earth. After two weeks I tried to contact him several times for updates with no response at all. After about a month I contested the issue with PayPal. Gordon apparently did not respond to PayPay either...I got my money back...and that was the end of it. He could practically write his own ticket if he could get his act together....but that obviously is not going to happen.

Oh well, I guess we can't have everything can we? With a lot of modern stuff coming out or announced recently (M-ATV, Buffalo, Maxx Pro, Bushmaster) I think/hope we might eventually see one in plastic.
