KR Models

It's the blue one next to the red one.

Just thought that you would like to know that our shipment has arrived in port, just waiting for customs to clear it now. No, we don't know the name of the HMRC customs officer who will sign off on the shipment. Keith

No, info@krmodels.co.uk doesnt get checked at all. Email me personally at michael@krmodels.co.uk

Just waiting on the next sample to arrive. Once it does, hopefully we can move forward and sign off on it.

We may have some corny music to follow.

Please use the email if you want a direct answer.

To clear some of this up, no, we aren't divulging the name of the ship. We hope to have all of your tracking information out within a week or two, and we will let everyone know once its left the ship, but until then we all have to be patient and wait, us included. We don't like the waiting any more than anyone here, but that's the circumstances right now. It is coming, we promise you, just hold on.

Tooling hasn't even started yet. EP's are still quite a ways off. Once we have our CADs polished and primed, we can show those off.

Rapido??

It's pre order in advance. We are only making enough to cover orders, so we won't be holding stock.

It's working fine now, just shear volume of traffic.

This is all part of the design process.

Sure, I can answer your questions for you. The numbering available will be 36001 with all the available liveries. Prototype Grey no crests will be the lined livery, the others will not be.

We are currently experiencing technical difficulties with the website. We are working tirelessly to fix them. Unfortunately, this means that we cant go live with the Leader at this moment, but as soon as we can we will be sending out an email.

We are experiencing some teething issues with our migration to the new platform. All of your orders and accounts are safe. Any issues, feel free to email me at michael@krmodels.co.uk.

Yes, you will. We currently don't have an ETA on that, but hopefully it won't be too far away.

They should be in the country by the end of the month, hoping nothing goes wrong. Once they are, we will be sending out a general email, as well as tracking information for each customer.

We don't, which is why we didnt expect one to begin with. But common decency, admitting when you're wrong, and basic integrity should be a given. Except for those who have received it. And videos from customers, and reviews from magazines, and the video from Hornby.....but those dont fit into your narrative, do they? Do you have the faintest idea how hard it is to get a model like this 100% right with no existing schematics, blueprints, or functional examples out in the world? We did the best that we could with what we had, and yes, we did have to take some liberties given the situation with the hubcaps. But not everything is present on a CAD, the factory can make mistakes, we can make mistakes, and we have only tried our hardest to recreate the GT3 as close to as it was when it still existed. To be quite frank, I'm not surprised you've chosen to have an issue with that comment, given how you haven't had a single positive thing to say throughout this entire thread. You had swore blind that we wouldn't deliver a model, you had such confidence that we were just another DJ in the making, and now that we have completed the model and (not all) customers have the model in their hands, you STILL stand by your guns that we are just another problem. Ill give you one thing, we do still have a lot to learn, and we still have a long road ahead of us. But I still expected you to at least admit that you were wrong regarding the validity of what we set out to do. So, as I said last time I had to respond to you in such a manner, "don't lecture us on respect when you had none for us from the very beginning." I'm no longer replying to you, I'm not going to engage with someone again who very clearly has only had a bone to pick with us for what ever reason from the beginning. As I've stated in the past, if anyone would like to make suggestions, have any constructive criticism, or would like me to answer any questions or queries about anything that we are involved in, my email address is michael@krmodels.co.uk, and if you want to call me I do have a UK number and you only have to ask.

Neither of us really expect an apology, but we at least expected some dignity from those who slated us from the very conception of the project, some integrity. Regardless, it isnt going to slow us down, we are going to continue to make models, and we are going to continue to enjoy doing it.

Its definitely been an uphill battle with trying to deal with being painted by the same brush as them, trying to break away and prove to people that we are not anything like him, we have no ambitions to be anything like him, and we will always strive to be better than him. We had plenty of doubters along the way, we had people who believed in us but were understandably critical, and we had people who trusted us from the very beginning. And from both of us at KR Models, we would like to thank everyone who supported and trusted us to get us this far. We really could not have done it without you. We hope to continue making models you all love for a good while, and we hope to see more of you in the future.

Put your name down for the 2nd production run. It is going ahead. We'll delivery the 1st run, then open the order book.

We have noticed that all the negative comments and false accusations that we have got on here, we have actually managed to produce what we set out to do. It's so strange that those people and you know who you are as the comments are still here, have not apologised or said even "well done, we were wrong".

They should be fitted as they are on the samples. Not sure how that happened.

We hope to offer both versions.
