This is my first post on here so first things first.
Greetings to all members of this forum.
Now the question. I picked up issue 68 from the newsagent this week and noticed that the mast cap, which is shown in the photo, was missing. I thought I would check the ever reliable Tomick official build to see if this should be the case and it is not in his picture. The only problem is, it is mentioned in the list of parts at the top of the post.
So please could someone let me know if this mast cap should be included with this issue. Sorry if I have missed anything obvious.
Many thanks,
Pezza.

Thanks for clearing that up. I'm off to the newsagent to get my replacement ordered.
Cheers,
Pezza.

Hi Periporter, and welcome to the forum.
Before you dash off to the newsagent, if it's not too late you might want to try contacting DeAg customer support.
Although you haven't got a subscription with them directly, if a part is missing from your pack, they might replace it free of charge. They are very good in these matters. So it might be worth phoning them first rather than shelling out more of your cash to the newsagent.
Happy building

Thanks for the advice Daffy09, unfortunately I have already taken the issue back. Luckily my local newsagent are very good with things like this and they will replace the issue, it may take a couple of weeks but it will get sorted. It may be worth others checking any unbuilt issues they have, this is the third one with a missing part out of my last ten. I was subscribed with DeAgostini up until issue 62 and two of the issues were from them. I have to say DeAgostini have been helpful in getting replacements sent. Maybe someone could have a quiet word with the packers about being more careful. I know what it is like, I have worked in the print and mailing industry for over twenty years and we can get a bit lazy  . Off for a rest, Pezza.
