I can't believe that the ordnance came unpainted. What's up with that; how many ways are there to paint a Sidewinder? More importantly, who is to blame for this disaster?

You need to send a sharp email of reprimand to your supplier and ask him if the paint was cancelled on eBay, or if fell off when the ordnance was being shipped via Cyprus, or if the shipment to Cyprus was cancelled then the paint must have gotten lost in transit to Sweden. Either way, it's probably Ali's fault since the guy takes a maximum of 10 hours to answer his email regardless of time of day or wherever he is in the world.

I suggest that you start a new thread and slap the crap out of everybody. Apparently that's how it's done here these days on RCU. OMG, my head just exploded!!!!!
