Hello shipmates,
I received a shipment of parts from Model Expo today, made by Model Shipways. I have to tell you, the parts are typical of the low standards that seem to plague this company. The pictures speak louder than words. The grating parts are 33x 1 mm square, 60 in a pack, part# MS2872. The parts are laser burned, with uneven slots wider than the thickness of each strip which makes for loose, sloppy joints. The ends are inconsistently cut, some at the edge of a fork tine, others between the tines. I learned a valuable lesson: Don't buy multiple items from Model Shipways without buying a single sample first, no matter how much the shipping costs. I'm so pissed, I don't want a refund.
What you THINK you will get as shown on their website...
What you actually get....
Compare the sloppy fitting MS grating on the right to the gorgeous precise gratings on the left sold by Corel in Italy...
