flash Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 I've ordered from them before with no problems. I ordered some of the alpha-beta resins, and all the alphas came with thin/broken wings. took pictures, and sent them an email, and they mailed out new casts asap no problems, no cost.

cobywan Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 I buy a lot from them. They are very good businessmen. They don't actually do the recasting. They are a distributor. And they sell my Lancer II kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFX Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Hobbyfan is a very good business to deal with. But as others have indicated, the quality of their recasts will vary. I've gotten good and below average recasts from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Culverin Posted April 7, 2004 Author Share Posted April 7, 2004 what about the Tanmen stuff on there? how much of their stuff is "real" and how much bootlegged? i don't thing they ever mention that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mervin Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Hi, The tanmen stuff are most likely recasts. I purchased a VT-1 and it is excellent. Smooth casting and no bubbles. Most of their stuff are recasts. Usually, they would mention it if the kit is an original. I know e2046.com mentions it. You would know as well based on the price.
