Mike CT posted:Check the package-ing. The molded foam box that came with the model. Rough handling, during shipping, causes the model to move/shift inside the foam container, which can do damage to fragile brass models. You should be able to note, where the foam, has been distorted by the model shifting, do to miserable handling. Area where the foam has been distorted would also indicate model damage. IMO. Mike CT Also note that brass, hand assembled models can have production defects.
Possible but this looks more like buyers remorse. I will be surprised if there is anything wrong with this other than the handrail Chuck pointed out. Hopefully the item sent will be the item returned.
