Warped the wing on my 1 48 Tornado. Anyone have a good email for Revell Germany? Wondering how to request a new wing Sprue?

Revell USA and Revell Germany share a common website. Check with their customer service. I am pretty sure that the contact info for Revell Germany kits is there.

Thanks guys. I see Blacksheeps link includes Revell Germany. I wasn't sure before. Email sent and I'll report back any progress. I am willing to pay some as it was my fault.

I always am honest when asking for replacements. If the kit had defects, I tell them. If I need some spare parts, I tell them and offer to pay for them. Their service is top notch, and I think this should be honoured.

I totally agree with Thomas! I had a problem with a sprue on a Hasegawa F-4G where I accidentally broke off part of the cockpit center support. I contacted their customer service and explained what happened and asked if they accepted credit card or Paypal, they stated there would be no charge. I ended up receiving the whole sprue, when all I needed was one fuselage side. Honesty is always the best policy in my book...ethics!

thought about it, but had no pictures, of course the parts were already glued together, then I warped the whole assembled wing by trying to dunk it in hot water. The warpage on the sprue was so slight I didn't notice it until I glued the wing together...the rest is history

Well that's a different situation then. Yup, an explanation of what had happened warrants the price to buy replacement parts.
