Crikey Kars...
You've been so unlucky with missing parts, what can I say😠
Tell me though Kars...
With what, or how, did you check your white metal parts???
I have looked at my British GP kit and it looks an impossible task!!!
I was thinking of writing down all the metal parts numbers, say for instance.
M1 to M159, this gives me 159 w/metal parts and then count the parts I have in kit.
Is that how you did it??? Or was your way easier???

I did have a look at every drawing of the instructions to see if it was there. Took me about half an hour. I don't know what's best. If you would count the parts and 1 thing is missing you still don't know what's missing. So another check. You have to look at it twice.

I am lucky to have another C-version, as well as an A and B, so if necessary i will take the parts from one of these.

Sorry mates. There is no need for worry yet, as MFH has the possibility to deliver missing metal parts. Resin parts are not available.

I guess it's okay if it happens once. but when it happens more than once and there more than one part missing it ain't alright in my book. considering its handmade parts from a small company in a very high price range. but as long as they able to correct their mistakes hopefully they won't lose their customers.

You are right, Alexander,. I think it should not happen with kits i have paid about 280 euro for.

Album info

A lot of metal parts in this MFH kit. I will do the Mario Andretti version. The full WIP is on my website as always. Again missing parts. About 7 parts this time. This worries me for the future. It's undo-able to check all my 200+ kits for missing parts. And now i found out there is another parts missing. I think i will be able to add this one later, even when the kit is done.
