Meng Dr.1 Unboxing

[Beto]

Ouch...! I've had boxes crushed before but never anything like that... i'm guessing the parts are equally wrecked. Was it packed properly, or just dropped off the back of the truck and run over a few times before it got to you? Maybe an insurance claim in with the postal service might be warranted - did you get a picture of the parcel before you opened it?

Yes I did, and set them to the seller yesterday. I got a quick response this morning from him, asking me if the parts were ok  and promising he would do his best to help...
It arrived packed in a soft white foam box and wrapped in black, trash bag style, plastic.

WARNING! - After many messages to and from the seller, who kept asking if I could repair the broken parts, and then asked me to scan the instructions and mark exactly what parts were broken and send him pictures of every single broken part, I posted a claim through ebay's customer service, and he refunded me HALF of the price I paid. So please beware of doing business with this ebay seller. His name is applesha886

Now, can anyone recommend a site (in Europe if possible, to save on shipping costs) to buy an uncrushed Meng triplane?

I am afraid we still have to wait for this kit to appear in Europe. HSome shops do not show this kit at all, some, like Hannants have it on pre-order (future release).

Hello PrzemoL

It's good to hear from you. The Meng Fokker Dr.1 kit has only arrived in some Australian shops in the past day or so. Retail price here is around $A 120 so not that cheap a deal compared with the $US39 price for pre orders from Hong Kong.

I've found that AK-Interactive has it on pre-order and they are supposed to arrive by Sept. 15th, so I will wait... and ask them if they have arrived ok. They are located about 200 kms away from my home.

Ja , for most of us it will not be a cheap price at all once the exchange rate is applied .

Good they are available Dave but I might have to wait for a possible 20% off sale at that price
