the model supplied has no instructions in French, only in English and Japanese. For a 12-year-old, this is not at all practical!!! even with the assembly sketches. A phone call to 1001 maquettes confirmed the absence of French instructions and the impossibility of obtaining them. I don't recommend this site and I personally wouldn't repeat the experience of a new one.

No reply I had ordered a set of decals, and received an email that my order had been processed good so far. On this email was my order number, and a link to check your order status. Here's where things changed: I tried the link, and got an error, telling me my order number was not correct. After a few tried, I went to the homepage/contact us link. I sent an email with my info and order number, yet have not heard anything back as of yet. Then, the following day, I received this email asking for a rating. It would do well to ask about the customer experience after some attempt at customer service was made.

Dear customer, Apparently you created a second account, which explains why you could not access to the information about the order made with your first account. We apologize for the inconvenience due to this misunderstanding. Best regards, 1001modelkits Customer Service

Impossible to hold silver paint (N°11) on plastic. For the other colors, acrylic paint leaves traces on the brush and dries very quickly (perhaps you need to add an additive like white spirit or alcohol?). No problems with dispatch

I bought a model as a present for my husband and surprise, when you open it and look at the cardboard, there's no paint or glue for the price you're paying. In other stores, when you buy a model, you get everything inside. Really disappointed

Delivery The delivery time for just a few model paints was terrible. I could have built the whole model in the time I have waited for the correct paints and after three weeks one still has to be delivered. I am sure I'm not the only one who has waited more than three weeks for delivery which is not acceptable in today's market.

Last 12122016 day I placed an order that was charged to my account on 14122016 not receiving the product and not having information on the status of the order I made several calls in which I got an answering machine indicating to send an email which I did after three emails sent to which no one has responded the days 06012017 13012017 and 24012017 I find that to date 01022017 no one has contacted me to tell me the status of the order or responded to my request for a refund of the amount paid. It is clear that I will not buy from them again and that I will recommend that no one should buy from them.

Goods received from France after approx. 1 week. Unfortunately, it was not clear anywhere that it came from abroad. In addition, there was also a wrong article that was even cheaper than the one I ordered. I received no reply to 3 emails, but the other items I ordered were OK.

I haven't received my order # 95808, bought on 1/14/2017 Ordered through PayPals on 1/14/2017. 1001 stated that it was shipped on 1/20/2017. I haven't as yet received my order. When contacting them on the 617.849.9224 phone number, the message after ringing about 10 times, is not in English, so this number is useless to me. The price of the order was $15 plus change. When I ordered this through their website, the price changed in front of me to $23 plus change. Very sneaky. I will NOT use this company again! When issuing a grievance through PayPal, 1001 states it has been shipped.

Hello, I'm just going to transcribe the messages I sent via the order history screen. Messages that have remained unanswered to date. A Colissimo order supposed to arrive within 5 working days (payment on 401) and shipped 9 days later (on 1301) and received 14 days later (on 1801).... Of course no sign of life no answers no considerations.... Hoping to be heard here.... Maxime F 11012017 14:29:04 Hello. Will I have a chance to receive my order before next week? Cordialement. Maxime F 11012017 14:34:05 We have exceeded the 5 working days.... I should have chosen a relay delivery... It would have cost me less... Do you need a week to process an order of 2 brushes? Are you serious? Maxime F 13012017 14:04:59 Please don't answer .... Your customers love you? I wonder how they do it!!!!! Please communicate! Why is my order processed 11 days after payment???? Do you have an answer for me? Should I take the necessary steps to be reimbursed? Maxime F 18012017 21:21:15 Well goodbye eh.... You're making a mockery of the world here. I don't know if you're in the hobby personally but I doubt it.... Firstly, my parcel was dispatched 11 days after payment. So you propose colissimo for faster delivery? In this case why such a long wait and above all without any commercial gesture or even a simple answer to the messages I sent you to clarify the situation? I'm not a bad customer, but I hate being taken for a ride... Clearly I would have appreciated more transparent communication.... Anyway, I waited... But when I received the parcel, I was completely appalled to find my Napoleon Corporal brush (1399e after all!) wandering around in the parcel without even a protection on the tip!!!! I've never seen anything like it....tte magnificent cardboard figurine François 1er as a gift, which I promptly threw in the garbage can! You are anything but professional and I can guarantee you very bad publicity in the future.... I will never order anything from your site again. You're the worst hobby traders I've ever come across on the web... I'm really very unhappy

The delivered item did not match the description on the website in terms of color and design (kit instead of finished model). Long delivery time due to shipping from France. The offered ""gift packaging"" was a joke - carelessly stapled dark blue paper bag. The cost of returning the goods to France is entirely at the customer's expense (DHL €11 in my case) and there is no return slip or hotline. I have now been waiting 3 weeks for a refund of the purchase price - a request by email also went unanswered ...

If I have nothing in particular to reproach 1001 maquettes apart from a small delay in delivery due to payment in three instalments, I am not at all satisfied with the item purchased ...!!!! a 4F200LM helicopter paid almost 500€...!!! and which does not fly at all ...!!! and in fact is already out of service even before I have finished paying for it. At this price, you'd think that by gently pushing the throttle without touching any other controls, the machine would hover obediently ... but it doesn't, and it goes off in all directions because it's obviously not factory-calibrated. The paper manual in French is totally complex and improbable, describing settings that would scare you. It's more than fragile, and the spare parts that are broken (swashplate among others) are no longer available from dealers. I left a more than unfavorable review on this very article. I would no doubt have postponed or renounced this purchase if 10ire had issued a detailed warning concerning this model, and this is a reproach that I take the liberty of making. Sincerely

On January 10 I have not received my order yet, on January 6 I filed a complaint with customer service and they have not even answered me. I don't think I will buy from them again even though I like the variety of products they offer.
