I would like to share information about a great experience I (once again) had with Accurate Armour. Several weeks ago I ordered two Skybow's M38A1 Jeep kits from them taking advantage of Skybow sellout AA have on their website now. I decided to add a trailer to one of my Jeep models and want to use a trailer from Academy M151A2 kit. This trailer however is M416 version, while for M38A1 the M100 trailer is more correct. Academy kit includes M100 type fenders, but to make more accurate M100 I needed two M38A1 Jeep wheels. I emailed AA asking if they have some damaged or incomplete Jeep kit in stock, from which they could take wheels and sell them to me. Derek Hansen himself responded to the email with a promise to send these wheels.
Today I received the package from AA with Skybow's M41A3 kit which I also ordered and included were two complete (3 parts each) wheels from M38A1 - completely free!!!
Many thanks Derek and Accurate Armour!

I would echo that - I put in an order for some of the Skybow kits last week. The order arrived in 3 working days. Scotland to NW Spain - damned impressive!..Jim

Oh yeah, I didn't mention it - I put in my order for M41 on Monday (late night, so they received it on Tuesday) and received the kit today (Saturday). Also not bad for Scotland -> Poland!
It would have probably arrived earlier, but I always request registered post delivery from AA now, as two of my earlier orders were lost by the Post... It doesn't mean that I lost any money - Accurate Armour each time quickly sent replacement sets with no additional cost for me! It is particularly worth mentioning that one of those lost sets was not even thier own product. It was expensive and not so easy to get M88 interior set from MR Modellbau! Since then I always request registered post delivery which means a couple more pounds for me to avoid any extra costs for AA.

I would echo everything I've read in the above posts. From talking to these guys at various shows, and experiencing the unbelieveably rapid delivery times, I would thoroughly recommend Accurate Armour to ANYBODY. What a hobby this would be if all suppliers and producers were like these guys.

I second everything that's already been said about these guys - service seems to be paramount to their busines - wish more were like them.

I can honestly say that AA has always given excellent service, back in the pre-internet days, I would call then on the phone, (international call) place my order, and receive it normally with in a week.
