Hey all,
After checking out this site for the past couple of years, and marvelling at some of the things that I've seen on here, I decided to take the plunge and join the crew of the good ship 'RPF'.
Has anyone else had problems with JBOT? I apologise beforehand if this subject has already been mentioned......
My wife bought a MPC/ERTL Falcon for me a couple of years ago, I had one as a kid but always longed for another crack at it. Along with the 'Bluemoon' side wall kit and following some excellent threads on here about mods for the cockpit, hull shape, etc (I had never scratchbuilt anything before) I plunged in head first and got her about as good as I can without adding photoetch stuff (maybe one day lol)...
All I had left was to put a few decals on her - and after reading a few threads on here I contacted JBOT through his site last April (2014).
A couple of emails passed between us including a set of decal instructions from him . I paid my money (PayPal) and waited...., and waited....., and waited.
I gave him a fair amount of time as he did say the Canadian Post was awful, and tried contacting him about 6-8weeks after purchase to find out about the whereabouts of my decals, but with no luck. Several emails to him were ignored, and many to him since have been ignored too. PayPal could do nothing as it was outside their time scale, so I'm out of pocket.
Has anyone else come across this kind of thing? Lost in post is one thing, ignoring emails is another. If he's done this to a few people then he's got himself a nice little scam going.
