martin collins 1 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 This is an Aerotech International Vultee Valiant part built kit, unfortunately the fuselage has a lot of damage to the rear end which was done in the post, it will repair but i have too many other projects i would rather complete. All plastic mouldings are undamaged as are wings, tail and fin etc, more pictures on request. I will post and pack it well but it has already been damaged once, it will be insured. £20 Postage is £14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RICHARD WILLS Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Well done Alan (and Martin ) . An old friend of mine at Chelmsford club , made a very nice job of this kit . It flew really well and looked great, to the point that Aerotech actually tried to buy it off him to put on their stands at shows . I can honestly say it is worth building . Alan , you got a bargain , but I'm sure you will make a nice job of it. Be good to see one finished again ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin collins 1 Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 It is a shame there is so much damage to the rear of the fuselage, i am sure Alan can sort it out. I sold the kit on Ebay earlier this year and put plenty of packing in with it but it still arrived with some rear fuselage damage. The buyer got VERY arsy saying i had deliberately sent it out like that and i had taken my Ebay pictures from certain angles to hide the damage! There were pictures from all angles so how you would do that i`m not sure, but who in their right mind would send out something with that amount of damage and not expect the buyer to ask for their money back through an Ebay case is beyond me. The box now has a heavy diagonal crease from the top right hand corner which was not on the pictures on the Ebay advert, something very heavy had been laid across the box at that angle. I gave the buyer his money back but when the kit arrived back with me he had sent it back with NO packaging inside which resulted in the fuselage damage being ten times worse than it had been in his pictures. What a d*ck, anyway i got a refund of the value of the kit from the carrier for the damage but not the postage so that has now been covered by Alan`s purchase, i hope Alan will put some pictures up of the finished model or do a build thread, i would like to see it completed..........
