    Last time I gave them two stars and thought I was being generous. I can totally understand delays during the pandemic and, if they can finally, four months on, deliver something I thought impossible to find (which they did), I must say a thankyou. They get so many five stars, but too many one stars, suggesting a huge variation in perception. I would bet that an easy order, of readily available products, gets through in no time. Any problem though and the issue then becomes communication or the lack of. How often is that case anywhere? Even the standardised repeated replies, here on line, to the most favourable reviews, suggest a simple failure to communicate with customers. On this occasion though I got constant messages about delivery progress, for a product I had assumed impossible to find. Complete contrast to my previous experience. I will not judge them too harshly now, they have had problems with moving site I do know and there is some suggestion of a worldwide virus problem of some kind. Good luck folks.

    Communication was excellent, except I didn���t realise kit was coming from France! Couldn���t fault updates from 1001 crafts but dealing with the Post Office here was a bit of a nightmare, due to COVID

    Model didnt arrive. No response from customer service. Now having to try and get refund from credit card company. Update.. 10pm Mon 5th Oct. Still no contact from customer service... Didn't receive any address verification email, just one saying it was in transit and then one saying it was delivered. UPS courier service admits they can't give me proof of delivery (despite address being a very well known naval base) and UPS advise me to take up with sender. This was meant to be a birthday gift for my son, but nothing arrived. Really disappointing.

    1001 models have an extensive range of quality models and give a prompt service but I have had to drop one star as they don't always prove to be the best on price.

    This is a quality kit but let down by flimsy and ill defined instructions. Diagrams are poor and the order of construction is not clear. Parts are of a high standard and the tyres (for both models-custom and stock) particularly good. So good kit but the instructions -on two sides of one sheet of paper-lack clarity.

    I ordered 1/72 scale pilots for my red arrow planes and was very happy with the detail of the figures. They arrived on time and well packaged. I was kept well informed every step of the way. The only thing that I suppose I could criticise about is when they were displayed online they were painted but as far as I can remember it did not say in the description that they came unpainted which was a worry until they arrived . I was very glad that they did come unpainted so that I could paint them in the colour I needed. A brilliant product.

    My puzzles arrived a day late but UPS admitted the mistake was theirs. 1001 modelkits kept me out date all the way along and the puzzles were well packed. Delivery price was very reasonable since the puzzles came from France and delivery was very quick (UPS allowing).I'll happily shop with them again.

    Superbly detailed model, a well made, solid feeling airplane. Although plastic, it's made from a high density material which makes it as heavy as a metal one. Highly recommended and good value for price.
