Ran into a similar situation with a recently reissued Saturn V model from a well known American company (let's call them Llever). This kit has been production as recently as 1996, so you think they wouldn't mess up something as trivial as, say, decals. Incredibly, they did; the UNITED STATES and USA on the side of the Saturn V are supposed to be red. They were printed in black. Contacting Llever was fruitless; they pretty much said "sorry, not much we can do here, try after market."
There are still a couple of models I want to get from this company, but that was just poor. Fortunately, they are associated with another company (Llever du Allemagne) who are a wholly altogether different experience.
