There were no winscreens in the kit,the resin was full of bubbles,the tyres were in resin and bad quality;the chassis was torned.No decals;
The wheels ware very bad.
But I am thinking that Tapani has rebuild that kit.

I feel that I must correct some things. I did not build this Talbot master as commercial things in my mind but for myself. Therefore there is no rubber parts, windscreen or photoetches. Decals were available at least in the beginning? For 80 RAC and 81 TdC. Furthermore, Airtrax is small side business for Tapani, not an income. So that's why it is not completely fair to compare these kits to commercial ones.

I'm very sorry to see this bad casting quality. You should report Tapani about this. Also to my mind the price is high but I can't do anything for that because I just borrowed masters for mold making. I suppose that Tapni is not converting this kit but he is making the castings.

I have a lot of kits in my shelfs,at home,by years i bought good kits,"normal" kits,and bad kits, I think it belongs to the "game" ....
but when a kit is clearly poor,moulded badly,I think this must to be declared also clearly,and at adequate price....
