Michael,
I've ordered the kit from Richard in Jun 2009, promised to deliver the kit in 3 months period, after chasing finally received in end Dec 2009. Unfortunately found out some major parts missing, contacted him for the replacement. Unfortunately no reply for a long time. Until got really upset with him, he finally replied and told me he doesn't have the mold anymore, needs to find the mold to remake the missing parts. After waited and waited, no reply from him, I ask for advice on the forum, Neil suggested me to contact Steve for the missing parts. Steve replied and told me to send him my address, he will send me the missing parts, unfortunately after sending my address, he disappeared.
Another few months went by, before giving up, I noticed Richard is still very active on this forum and talks about his new build Snow Speeder. I send him another message stating that he's got so much time to build his snow speeder but why doesn't have time to help to get the missing parts. He finally replied and says he will use his own kit to cast the missing parts. (Why he told me he doesn't have the mold in the first place?)
Finally received the missing parts after a few months time which is end of Jan 2011. Imagine all the hassles that I need to went through to just get the complete kit.
I wish you all the luck with Richard and "May The Force Be With the folks who's still waiting for the missing kits from the irresponsible model builders....."
