That's encouraging to hear. I've only built two Airfix kits. Both were new-ish issues and I was impressed with them. Definitely have plans to pick up a few more.

Making a comment on airfix customer service

Well we always hear about bad customer service experiences, and never about the good. 

 

Not too long ago, less then 3 weeks actually, I picked up a 72nd scale Airfix Harier GR9 kit.  It was only about 13 dollars.

 

It was missing one half of one of the nozzles.  I found the spare/missing parts email, and wrote to tell them about it.  The note said it would take 28 days for processing alone.  I wasn't feeling too groovy about that as with these small kits I like to do them in a weekend.  Well I went ahead and did it anyway.  Well today November 29th my part showed up.  That's including a delay for them having to ask me which tree it was on, AND me missing the email by a couple of days.

 

There wasn't much spent on niceties or anything like that, but they were polite, and on the ball.  I'm not a big fan of airfix, their fit is kinda strange and so is their kit engineering, but I don't dislike them either.  However they gained points from me with this kind of speed.  It took less then 4 days from the email they sent saying the part had shipped.  Not bad for going halfway around the world.

 

So if anyone here works for Airfix which I suspect at least someone does, then tell that department I said a big thanks, and overall a thanks to Airfix.  Good job.
