Default JUST HAD TO SHARE!

I recently purchased a F-20 Tigershark kit from Skymaster. The F-20 has always been one of my favorite airplanes and I was excited to see that it was being offered as a kit. Man, I could hardly wait for thing to show up! When the kit arrived, I opened the box and began to inspect it's contents. I was amazed at the quality and workmanship. As I inspected piece after piece, I came across the verticle fin. After looking at it for a couple of minutes, something didn't seem quite right about the way it was shaped. So, I grabbed a set of F-20 three views that I have and compared them to the verticle fin. The verticle fin was not scale which I found to be bit disappointing as the rest of the kit was so nice. So, I decided I'd e-mail Anton Lin at Skymaster to inform him of the problem. Along with the e-mail I attached photos of the verticle fin that was in the kit as well as a copy of the F-20 three views and photos of how the fin should look. I was pleasantly surprised at the response I got from Anton. He said to give him two weeks and he would have a new verticle fin made that was correct. Two weeks from the day that I sent Anton the e-mail about the verticle fin, I got an e-mail with a tracking number saying the new fin is on its way. I received the verticle two days ago and it was just as Anton promised with no cost to me. I will post some pictures later.

That's the Anton that I know - always responsive if there is anything wrong or anything that needs to be fixed - great service!
I buy my SM jets through Michel at JetsRC in Chile, and I am very pleased with the service I get from him and from Anton!
Great planes and great people!

Anton, if your montoring this, I've a question: is paint available to match your ARF models....in at least ounce quanity of all colors so as to do real repairs/mods, etc/

I'm building your ARF Gripen...beautiful camo job! Got it from GNM this spring and asked about re-touch paint then. Never an answer after repeated requests. Is matching paint available? Tx!
