[QUOTE="Len Matthews, post: 5888, member: 178"] I was Regalia Stock Controller when the White Metal Black Shadow Kit first came out. There were problems. The sheer weight of it meant very high postal charges, particularly for overseas members. Then it was found that the makers had left some all-important screws out of the box so these had to be forwarded seperately. Then came complaints about poor castings. As we had no stock of spares we had to refer those complaints to the maker. Not a happy time for us. It took a lot of skill to produce to the finished model-far more than the Matchbox/Revell plastic version. Now that the Minichamps model is available you can have a very nice miniature Black Shadow ready-made! [/QUOTE]
