Hello all,
I need the help of the modelers community living in California!
I built for a friend a Bleriot XI identical to the one I presented here. It is a 1/10th scale model from the Amati kit.
I am French, and I live in France. When I sent the model to my friend, I took absolutely every precaution to pack it in a parcel made by me, extremely solid, and protected the Blériot in tissue paper, bubble wrap, polystyrene chips, etc... In a big double box of a triple cardboard made for furniture, reinforced inside by wooden frames!
We had chosen a decent carrier for the USA (UPS) which cost a certain amount of money.
But this was without counting on the brutality of the customs (fr or US), or of the different transport drivers... We do not know yet, no return to the claim filed with UPS.
The plane arrived with important damages... To the great sadness of my friend and myself, of course.
I would need someone living near Santa Barbara to diagnose the damage and evaluate the repairs.
If any of you feel brave enough to do this, then send me a PM and we'll work out the details together.
Thanks in advance!
