Hello Koh,

I got mine this week from the German distributor. Looks like Gordon is at least partially back to business. Still it`s quite expensive, sell here for 195€. I will do mine as JERRV version, thanks to Robert Skipper for his excellent photo CD`s.

Hi there Mr. Hans-Hermann,

I am glad that at least one of us is happy. Can you help me? Can you direct me to the German distributor who you got your happinese from? I would write to them to see if they still have another piece. Thank you.

Regards,
Des

Hello Mr. Koh,

you can try your luck. The shop is http://www.united-fun.com .
Ask the owner, Mr. Richter, if he will get a restock soon. I was very lucky getting the only Cougar kit he got from Cromwell Models. I think ordering Cromwell models from distributors is more safe than ordering directly from Gordon Brown. Another shop that stocks Cromwell is: http://www.tonyshop.fr.

Trying to get kit from Cromwell now is like trying to get money from a Scotsman, preety apropriate. He's changed to Paypal for payment, but it doesn't make a scrap of difference, still the eons to wait, he states a 28 day delivery time, times that by anything from 12 to 24 and yo'll be about right. If you wait the 3 to 6 month period that was mentioned, then send a monthly remimder, and a thankyou note on delivery after, what coukd be 2 years. If you order a Mastiff @ £150.00 and wait 2 years that's 4% of £150.00 =6 X 2 =£12.00 in interest he has paid himself using your money, which goes toward his multi annual Portugese holidays. So if you are prepared to pay up front, for goods that could be anything up to 2 years in arriving, and be fobbed off with a string of untruths, that he tries to make you think that it is your fault the delivery is taking so long. Or do you, after waiting the obligitory 28 days, inform Paypal that he has not delivered, if enough people do this instead of just letting him carry on regardless, maybe Paypal will withdraw their facility. with the posibility of him loosing orders, from which people will not return!!

GREAT looking beast there..

I just hope the kit will be available in injection moulded plastic (along with a few other specialist vehicles that you see on the Discovery CHannel)....
