I bought the model of the dodge charger RT 1969 replica GENERAL LEE which is in fact a drag version of the charger wheels a little big and the front fenders cut... but the car looks great if you add a few things that aren't in the rear seat/center console kit, remember to get the brown color for the interior and dashboard that isn't shown on the photo.... (it's black on the blister). I'm saying this because no one at customer service could tell me what the original model was worth in terms of identification... Only the decalcos are official... The customer service I called 2 times to be sure that the ORANGE s""translucent" paint was indeed a body paint but unfortunately the people I spoke to on the phone didn't know what they were talking about... So I bought a headlight paint and not a body paint. That's 2 pieces of information that didn't allow me to be sure of my purchase and what's more with the wrong paint because the site lacks a link to brush and glue paints for the model in question.... really too bad. I went to a model store to buy body and interior paint. Unfortunately, I ended up with a 5-euro can of paint that's useless to me and that I can't return because the return is more expensive than the can. So I won't be buying from 1001maquette again. But for a model-building pro who knows what to buy, it's an excellent site, but for a rusty guy like me, I'd have liked the support I've been getting.

I was very disappointed with my order for 3 model ships. In your description they were marked 77cm long, but when I received them they were only 50cm long. I asked why and was told that this was normal since they were World War 1 ships, but then you should mark the correct dimensions on your site. I made this order because I thought they were 77cm long models. Correct your descriptions, they don't correspond to the correct dimensions.

Good product, well packaged, but the delivery time was much too long. It arrived more than 2 weeks after the expected delivery time, even though the product was supposed to be in stock.

I was not used to such a long wait for an order until now. When the delivery arrived I had my doubts that everything had arrived in perfect condition. Unfortunately, my fears were confirmed because the vacuum-pulled airplane disk from Spuadron was totally crushed in the bubble wrap. Such delicate items should be packed in strong packaging!

+ €13 postage for a decal sheet that costs €10. A delivery time of two weeks... In other countries, the delivery time is one week for less than 10 euro postage.

1001 maquettes is already more expensive than the others, but on top of that, they tell me that my parcel left on Tuesday 2404, i.e. more than a week ago. Today is May 2 and I still haven't received anything.

A needed service but with notable problems. 1001 modelkits is a needed service for those of us who like obscure and hard to find model kits but their are some serious flaws in their system. Firstly their website was often down or not accessible for periods of time. Secondly, just after making a order with them the email address I used was compromised and I needed to change passwords. Thankfully it was a email address with negligible info for thieves to use. Third, I ordered a specific as advertised scale model (CHI HA tank 1:72) but was given a slightly larger scale model (1:76) instead. Finally, a couple of the models I purchased were either intentionally or unintentionally opened or tampered with. If I'm paying full price for a new product then I would expect it to be untouched. As mentioned I am thankfull that 1001 model kits exits because theirs no one else out their like them that I've found but I'm wary of ordering again from them.

Dear Sir, Thank you for your comment. We had some server problems in March/early April, which are solved now. I do not understand your point about your email address, there does not seem to be any problem on our part. We will double check the scales of Airfix kits (some are indeed 1:76 instead of 1:76). Have a great day, 1001modelkits - Customer care

1001 models referenced... yeah, if you want, once you've deleted the products that are unavailable, there's not much left... and for the products that are supposedly in stock, you have to wait more than a week to receive them, even if you opt for the 48-hour collissimo service, which adds to the bill. In short, minimum service for a site that's not up to scratch.

at the time of my online order there were 6 Ariane V available so I ordered but on delivery I received only 1 copy + 1 e-mail telling me that we were out of stock and delivery would not be for about 20 days (which was not true) so I was disappointed for the first time so I re-ordered and I realized that I was still missing 1 e I finally received my last model but it took me almost 1 month. I am really disappointed because I thought I would receive them all for New Year's Eve at 31122011. My guests who I was supposed to give them a present were disappointed, so that's basically my opinion of this order. Sincerely Mrs DUR
