Well, I ordered the Italeri FIAT MEFISTOFELE 21706 c.c.
When I picked up the shipment at my front door - an uncanny sound of a lot of tiny things moving around inside the box - the awful feeling struck and as I opened the shipping box and also the Kit box --- well, apparently, the clear plastic box that contains all the screws opened up in shipment - needless to say, all the tiny screws were all over the place inside the box and even some leaked out inside the shipping carton !
After about 2 hours, I was able to find EVERY screw and put them back into the container. Except for one thing and that is 4 SPRINGS missing. I do not see how much the springs could have fallen out as they are much larger. So, therefore, I just think that it is just not enough quantity 'count' that they overlooked.
So, with that being said, I looked on eBay and found some .25 spring wire and thought about just wrapping my own. In the meantime, I went to Italeri to create an account with www.Italeri.com, but they do not even have USA as an option in their dropdown list - does anyone have any idea ? How can someone (in the USA) order spare parts if their site will not even let me register because the countries listed do not have the United States listed?
Open for ideas here.
