Unhappy Nike Hercules Kit

Sandman:

Do you have any 13mm Nike Hercules Kits? I would like to order one from you. The 13mm I ordered from you a while back has been destroyed.

I had a new air conditioner installed in my home. The installer needed to unplug the drain line used to run off the condensate. Using compressed air he accomplished the task. Now the problem. He did not cover or contain the line output and as a result all the crap that plugged the line blew *all* over the basement including my unfinished 13mm which trashed it! My "assembly" table (card table) was sitting about 20 feet away so you can understand how far the stuff flew!

Sorry I couldn't get back sooner. I had computer problems with "Microsoft Updates" that my computer automatically installed when I shut down last night.

Fortunately I was able ship your replacement kit on the way to the computer shop this morning.

It was on the way.

I don't know what you got before but this kit has the yellow stencil decals.

WOW! Hopefully he or his insurance paid for everything that was damaged/ruined. I would've blown my top if a contractor did something like that here.

Any other models destroyed? I can only imagine what a nasty task you had in front of you then! LTVscout is right on the money; make a list and have him pay for it. You'll need pictures if want to go to small claims. All that stuff really adds up ( the model stuff...).
