1/350 TOS Romulan Bird of Prey

Due to some problems with the BOP bodies, being the seam line goes very close to the raised window frames along
edge and it's takes some very careful and delicate sanding to not obliterate them while putting it together; I've been
working on a new mold that has a different seam on the underside of the body where there's no detail, leaving the
front edge intact. If you're not happy with the one you have, I will send you one of these new ones with minimal flak
in exchange for your old one as I will eventually build those up and sell them as complete builds.
Also, some of the bodies have developed a rough sandpaper like finish after curing, I don't know what's causing that and
I have since switched to my old fiberglass I used to make the E E's as it seems to perform better, even though it's more
expensive.
So if one of your ships has this sandpaper like finish problem please let me know and I'll ship you a new body free of charge and you can either
toss the old one out or try and build it, it's up to you.
Just give me some time to get caught up with the outstanding orders first, but I will
take care of everyone and make sure you're happy. If you feel like tackling the one you have now I would appreciate it,
as it can be done, it's just a lot of work, but if not I'll replace it.
All new kits will be the new design so those of you that haven't recieved your kit need not worry about this,
and now I hope you can understand why I'm behind as I'm trying
to take care of these problems and make sure everyone gets the highest quality product from me that's in my ability
to deliver.

The casting reminds me of the old glow in the dark models you could build in the early 1970's.

Maybe this was asked before - are you going to be selling any of the "blems?"
