So, I was in Access Models in Newark earlier, and they have someone who builds models, puts them in display cases and sells them. All good so far. So I see this display case, with a camo'd Harrier in it, and the label, "Harrier GR3" and a price tag of £40. Again, ok, £40 is a fair price for a 1/48 Harrier in a box. EXCEPT......... It was a camo'd SEA HARRIER!!!!, complete with Sidewinders. I really didn't know if I should say something or not? I left, with my purchase. I just wonder if it will actually sell? |

Yea, not bad. They have a few other manufacturers other than the norm. I almost bought a 1/48 Heller Jaguar GR1, even though it's the same as the Revell one, but £2 more. Why did I almost buy it then? Well, unlike the Revell one, you can actually have it without the overwing 'winders. |

The very short answer is 'Yes, they can get away with it'. if the photos are clear, then effectively (even if not specified) 'Caveat Emptor' applies. You saw the product, you must have liked it otherwise you wouldn't have paid for it. Who am I to know it wasn't a Harrier GR.3? I saw that picture on the internet? Blame him? |
