What a bummer :!: Is this something that could be fixed in the workshop or will it have to go back?

hi ed
sorry i missed you when you where up at moneymore
looks like it'll have to be replaced,mind you i don't fancy having to send it back to hong kong

fred think it would be difficult to fix it's a glassfibre fuselage
sorry no photo's
but when i look up the fuselage from the nose and i line up the tail plane with the round metal bar for the wings it's down on one side by 1/2 inch
i'm going to send Ming Lou of windrider an email and see what he says, i've put it on a couple of other forums to see if anyone else has had something similar but so far nobody has anything bad to say about the model and it's a pity to because it's really lovely

i'll keep you posted on anything that happens

Sorry to have missed you as well. A fun afternoon and well entertained by the Lad`s. Back to the Fuz could you Heat Gun it if Ming sends yoy another to keep you going?

Andrew , I have dealt with Ming and he is top notch from my experience.
Take a few photos and send them of to him and this may help with a replacement. Cost of postage to Hong Kong is frightening !
Royal Mail/ Parcel Force are a total rip off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was counting the days until the Habby was on the slope !
