Has anyone experiences with Cromwell models, and if so how did you made contact?

Also possible is buying the product from a hobby shop but I haven't seen it yet....

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Martin

Welll you're English is a bit better than mine I guess I'm just affraid of speaking it

I think I can write English pretty good, but speaking it is still a bit of a problem. I always know what I want to say, I understand the English grammar etc, but when I have to say it I sometimes forget the words

Also I'm a bit affraid the Scottish accent may be a problem (same in the Netherlands, people from the north east of the country are sometimes really hard to understand for someone living in the west of the country like me )

Oh well I'll try anyway, why not

Martinn, the best way to practice your English is to talk it......
A lot of us are on Skype, or yahoo, MSN etc. Feel free to ring me when ever you see me on line......
I only open them when I'm able to talk..... so if you see me with any of them open, Talk..... I can assure you, that your English is 100% better than my Dutch.

Hi Martin,

Cromwell are usually very difficult to get hold of by email, ive been told this is due to them being a small company, so a lot of the time they are producing kits etc

Phoning is apparently the best method

Regards

Joe

What is the best way to pay if you're not in England?

Do they use PayPal?

I'd rather like to know this before I phone them

I had the same experience... it seems they don't like e-mails. I found the owner visits Missing Lynx frequently so I reached him trough that website.

Haha I tried but I got the voicemail

I didn't understand a thing of the voicemail, only that I could leave my name and phonenumber after the beep lol. The accent is difficult for me to understand.

I'll try later again

Martin, I feel your pain...I tried to get a hold of them via email a month and a half ago and have had no reply...the phone call from this side of the pond would be pricey and I was looking for a web secure money transfer{paypal or whatever} and am still waiting. I know of no one here that sells the cromwell kits or I'd buy from them. I just have issues giving my credit card number to someone there...or anywhere for that matter...when I can't see they're the right people.
