[Started 26/07/2025] - I started to cut out the parts for this kit in July 2025, only to find with the very first step I was stuck…

If that isn't entirely obvious, almost all of the axles have not been cast onto the parts - I'm missing 5 on one side and 2 on the other. And no, they haven't been cut off or been snapped while in the box - it's clear under a magnifying lens that the axles have not been cast correctly as each one has a little raised 'bump' where the axle should be; no cracks or cuts are evident.

Email sent to support@miniart-models.com to ask if replacements are available. For now, this goes back in the box.
