Delayed

Delayed
My order is delayed once again, again the arrival date of that paint that I need so badly to complete my model or that much desired photoengraving gets postponed, and the release date of the beautiful model that is THE novelty among all novelties gets pushed back one more time by the manufacturer. Can you explain me what's going on? Why is everything getting delayed?

The root causes of so many delays are complex, but can be briefly summarized: the delays, latencies, product shortages, stock breakages, etc... that are driving us all crazy (customers, stores, distributors, manufacturers ...) have their root cause in the pandemic that encloses us all. Those who manufacture the products cannot produce them because they do not have raw materials, and when they do then the production rate is low, the logistics companies have many problems for flying their planes to certain countries, ships have to go through many health controls at the destination ports, distributors and suppliers have significant stock breakages due to the high demand and all this, together with the fact that your wishes usually come in the form of a complex puzzle of many manufacturers from different parts of the world, means that your order is delayed again .

At SpotModel we strive daily to make everything arrive as soon as possible, we try to have enough product available so that the delay of your order is almost none on our part. Even so, if you urgently need a product already in stock, if you need to modify your orders and have difficulties, remember that we are here to help you. Send us an email telling us what you need and we will try to do everything in our hands for your order ;-)

SpotModel fights hard against delays :-)

Fujimi Reference: FJ123288

Although the GTI already existed in the Golf range as a reference, Volkswagen thought that it was not enough, and brought out a more radical, powerful and exclusive version with a 3.2-liter V6-cylinder engine. The R32 was born. In its second generation, it increased its power to reach 250 hp, and unlike the GTI, it had an all-wheel drive system . The latter is the model that Fujimi has successfully recreated in this kit, with its beautiful multi-spoke rims, wraparound seats, optics with interior volume, and even a set of masks to be able to paint the glass frames.
