Getting replacement parts from Trumpeter models.
Posted by Beau Mansfield on Sunday, April 17, 2011 2:52 PM

Have any of you guys had problems with getting replacement parts from Trumpeter models.

 

I have been chasing them for a replacement part now for at least five months and as far I am concern their customer service support is terrible, even to the point that they ignor repeated requests from my local hobby store.

 

I would be interested to hear what experiances any of you may have had to date with Trumpeter models.

 

Kind regards,

 

 

Beau.

MMD / Squadron is also a US importer of Trumpeter now.  Try giving them a call and see if they can help.

 

Edit:  Sorry, just noticed your in Germany, try calling their German / EU importer.

I had a problem several years ago with the booms on a 1/32 P-38 broken.  I contacted the US distributor Stevens International.  After bugging them several times I got 1/2 of the booms.  I never did get a replacement for the other half.  I finally gave up.

Chinese companies are not known for their customer service.

Try:     Stevens International

I asked for and received replacement parts for a Trumpter ship kit very quickly and for only the cost of shipping.

Hope this information helps,

Mike

Thanks to all of you for your replys and helpful advise.

It really is a shame that a new player like Trumpeter can't get their act together when it comes to customer service.

I can't see how it will win them any friends in the long term.
