Yes, there are some on here who were very quick to rubbish KR after five minutes with absolutely no justification whatsoever for doing so. They should apologise to KR.

There were only one of GT3, Leader and The Fell but but they have sold extremely well. The 4DD will also sell by the shedload for the same reasons - they are quirky and odd. They’ve also been near the top of the wishlists for yonks. Well done, KR Models, again.

Another inspired choice of model.

Latest KR newsletter today says production has started and delivery is expected in April.

Only 14 of the limited run of 200 left unsold, they report.

It’s a fictitious livery as far as GT3 is concerned.

As it’s a fictitious livery I don’t think there’s a lot of ground for nit picking!

Yes, torn really, as you say it is a nice sheen but they were pretty mucky in their latter BR days. oh dear: Just going to have to buy another, aren’t I?

Poolies have adopted the monkey hanger thing as their own now; witness Hartlepool United’s brilliant mascot, H’Angus the Monkey, who got elected as the town’s Mayor some years ago, after pledging free bananas for all schoolchildren. I would say that today’s Monkey Hangers have got just as much chance of seeing their club win silverware in their lifetime as Geordies have! On topic again, just received my J27 today and after several negative reviews on here I must say I find it very satisfactory. Needs muckying up though!

OH! The IRONY!

Fantastic photos, thanks very much for posting these.

Well, there’s a rarity.....

Excellent!

.........and if They didn’t sort them out for a new run they would get criticised on here for ignoring these issues, wouldn’t they? They are sending out replacement parts to address many of the issues raised, not many other manufacturers have done that.

Different situation but for the same reasons, visibility at night, Teesmouth Lifeboat Station (RIP) used red interior boathouse lighting for night launches to enable the crew’s eyes to adjust to the darkness much more quickly when the boat was launched. Otherwise, after being in white light you would be just about blind in the darkness at the foot of the slipway. Other lifeboat stations had or have the same.

Very good!

And so it begins; the extortion by moral-free opportunists wanting £400 for a first production run GT3 on eBay. I hope nobody is desperate enough to give money to these BANDITS. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224426498801?_trkparms=aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20150520070957%26meid%3Df8ce943e87534bfd86d937752867265c%26pid%3D100277%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D363369737782%26itm%3D224426498801%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2060778%26algv%3DSimplAMLv5PairwiseWeb&_trksid=p2060778.c100277.m3477

My wife is a retired bank manager. I often quote this true tale as a prime example of one of the most annoying traits of the British people. One Thursday, In the local paper, there was a letter in from one of her bank customers, archetypal “disgusted of Berwick,” cobblers, complaining that he had gone to the hole in the wall to get a statement but it had run out of ink so he couldn’t get his statement. This apparently was an outrage. So, all he had to do when he couldn’t read his statement was to walk ten paces into the bank, tell the bank staff their atm printer was out of ink and he would have been warmly thanked, given a statement from one of the printers behind the counter within a minute, and a member of staff would have put a new ink cartridge into the atm immediately. A win for everyone. But no; he went all the way home and took out a sheet of paper and a pen, or typed up a word document and printed it out, then put it in an envelope, spent the equivalent then of 85p on a stamp, and went all the way to a postbox and mailed it to the local paper who, of course, gleefully printed it, probably because it was the only item of news they had that week. And that is so typical of people who, instead of directly approaching the firm they have an issue with, write to their local chip wrapper or go onto websites like this one to grumble. After all, they pay their rates, they’ll have you know.......

Thanks, the wife does Facebook, I will ask her to take a look for me.

Nothing posted on here by niu since the middle of last December, five months ago. Anyone know anything?

Can you sue him for copyright infringement? eBay should ban him anyway

Same here.

Chris P Bacon being dramatic about KR Models’ GT3? Never.....

“when making an adult toy you have to make compromises” I’ll pass that on to Ann Summers (Hat, coat, etc. )

.........and quantity surveyors....
