Interesting to read the posts re requesting spare parts. I've been making kits for 40+ years but never had an issue until recently. I've tried to request spares twice from Airfix only to be told they are not available which is disappointing (even when offering to pay), basically felt as if I had been fobbed off as based on the replies I got the feeling that my emails had not really been read. I think I may have reconsider my membership to the Airfix club and may start looking to some of the other manufacturers - very disillusioned with Airfix at the moment
