James, thanks for your help. I hope people find this set useful.
Great nations do not fall because of external aggression; they first erode and decay inwardly, so that, like rotten fruit, they fall of themselves. The strength of a country is the sum total of the moral strength of the individuals in that country.

Good review, Russ. Assuming you ordered from Minor's web site, how long before you received your order?

Tom, I received this set as a sample from Armorama. I would think maybe a couple of weeks, or about the same as other overseas distributors. Hopefully, more info is forthcoming about other retailers, as well as new products.

Hi Russ. I'm Jordi Orengo from "minor". Many thanks for your complete review. I'm sorry you found defects in my products. There are two important defects: 1 - there is an error in the instructions for Workable lef springs, the numbering of the front and rear springs are swapped, which is why the front ones will have been long and the rear ones short tail. 2 - nš 38 blade has a central hole displaced due to a manufacturing defect mysterious, because in my tests was centered. This week I will put on my website corrected instructions, and I will correct the defect in the blade nš 38 for next production batch. All modelers have been affected by these defects can contact me to resolve a replacement at

Sometimes errors/mistakes happen to all of us. But, it is how a person/company handles those mistakes which shows the true nature of them.
You are providing great customer service this way Jordi.

Tom. Latest shipments that I have done to U.S. took 5 weeks, due to delays at customs, I'm looking for ways to shorten this time.
