Well as promised I thought I'd update re my first experience of using Howes Models. I received a refund today, it came through via Amazon, not sure if it was them who just refunded me or was the model shop. Not a peep from Howes, when I called them the day their tank arrived and stated I wasn't happy they said they grunted a half hearted 'sorry', however not an email or anything to inform me that they've received the substandard model back, or to offer an explanation as to why I was sent the rubbish I was. Whether anyone agrees or not I am convinced I was sent a tank that someone sent back. All in all a poor show! yes I've received my money back, however I should have had my first Sherman to play with and as it is I am wondering where to go to buy one. Forgebear have been recommended, however they say they cannot supply one for over three weeks, and impatience is setting in fast. I have seen a few suppliers on ebay who have good feedback but I'm not sure whether to buy from them or not, and I seem to have ruffled some feathers on here, which I did apologise for so not sure if I'll get any assistance with who to buy from. If I wasn't so impatience and desperate to have a Sherman to play with I'd wait for Dave at Forgebear, but I don't think I can wait that long!
