I think the first packages should arrive in the next few days. I would like to make a small note on the side.
Be careful when opening the boxes. The front of the boxes is glued with two points of hot glue. I would open it carefully with a craft knife so as not to destroy the box. ;)

Sometimes mistakes happen... The only thing that matters is that you understand them and can fix them. :?

But let's start at the beginning.
I got a message from Jeff today. His package was also well received, which made me very happy.
However, he found a bug. I was also able to understand this.
It's about the rear rims and rear suspensions. The rear suspensions have a scaling error that must have happened to me at some point when setting up later prints... very annoying but not to be changed.
The parts are therefore simply too big and complete (length-width-height). They don't fit in the rear rims.

However, I don't know if all kits are affected or just some.
Therefore the request to everyone who has purchased a kit, please measure the parts and report if you also have the problem.

I will take care of it and you will get a replacement from me :!: :!:

I am so sorry and it is not my aim to deliver such a kit.
However, I just didn't notice it and didn't check it again before packing it up. :(

As sorry again and I'll fix it for sure... :wink:

Having looked at the kit I can tell you one thing for sure. The fact that you've managed to include even very fine details of the bargeboards, mirror supports, and floor edge strakes in very thin 3D printing is amazing. This could not be done with injection molded plastic produced in mass numbers, because parts this thin and fine would never make it out of the mold intact.

This is very impressive work and I thank you for making the kit.
