Tamiya - Great Customer Service

When I got my much anticipated brand new release Mustang GT4 from Tamiya I excitedly opened the box and drooled over the beautifully molded trees. I noticed right away that the wheels that are included with the kit are Forgeline GS1R wheels which are visually nearly identical to the track wheels I have on my 1:1 Boss 302 Laguna Seca which are Forgeline GA1R.


I had purchased the Revell 2013 Boss 302 some time ago and want it to make a replica of my car, but the kit obviously has the stock Boss 302 wheels.


So I pinged Tamiya and asked if I could order the sprue with the wheels on it, fully intending to pay. At the time, customer service said they didn't have any sprues available. Well on 9/25 I received an email from Tamiya saying they had the sprues and what address would it shipped to! A week later here they are - zero cost. Amazing customer service - and now I have the wheels for my Boss 302
Not to mention another 5.2L motor, exhaust... etc etc.


Now I just need to figure out how to delete the rear seat and turn the decals from black to luminous gray - or whatever the LS gets.
