A statement from Meng Model regarding its recently released Tiger II workable tracks.

Errata Notice

We have found some mistakes in the assembly instructions of the first lot of MENG SPS-038 German Heavy Tank Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger Workable Tracks kits. These mistakes may mislead you during the assembly process. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. We have corrected the instructions at the first time. The corrections, including the track link number and metal pin quantities are marked with red squares in the picture below.

MENG has been devoted to releasing more interesting model kits for global modelers. We have also required ourselves to be serious and focused during work. We have felt ashamed for these mistakes. We will pay more attention to the product development and production and will not allow such a thing to happen again. We would like to say thanks for your feedback and support. We apologize again to consumers who have bought those flawed products!

If only Dragon would do this...but if it did it would take up so much time they wouldn't have time to produce any kits!

Take note that some of the ones Sprue Brothers received were missing the metal pins. SB is aware of this and has the pins to send out. If you ordered from them, check your box.

Email I got from Spruebrothers: Hey Guys, I hope you received my email yesterday about the “Metal Pins”. I received some replies to let me know that you did receive it. I need to update you again on the MNGSPS038 1:35 Meng Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger Workable Tracks. We received an email from Annie Yu from marketing at MENG MODEL. She stated that the “Metal Pins” that we just sent out yesterday to all of you, were short. Everyone received 2 bags of “Metal Pins” with 100 in each bag, it looks as if every bag should have had 200 “Metal Pins” in each bag. We are sending you out a 2nd package with another 200 “Metal Pins”. I can’t apologize enough to all of you for this mishap. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you again, Charlene

Glad to see them own up to their goof. That's so refreshing in this day & age.

I got my pins on Monday, so around three days after they sent the email. Not bad.
