This will have to be my last post on the forum, my employers have told me to stop, but have allowed me to pass on some information.

I am employed as a "Secret Shopper" by some large companies and by trading standards, I was asked by my employers to take on building the Victory and to subscribe to the series (so all pics posted are genuine). I was also asked to join the forum as a builder and to enter into the swing of things. I have enjoyed seeing all of your builds, some of which are at a standard I never thought I would see, they are so good.

I cannot say who my employers are, but hopefully customer services will improve in the future.

To all of you keep going, as I said your builds are fantastic, and to any beginners, don't be afraid to ask any question no matter how stupid it may sound.

Bye
Come on you Jimmies

So if the build was real are you not allowed to carry on as a legitimate customer?

I'm back, but not as a secret shopper anymore, I contacted the agency about staying on the forum, and they were quite happy for me to carry on as I am building the model for myself. I don't know who I was working for, all I had to do was go on the forum as a builder and show them a transcript of any post I put up, it may even have been DeAg themselves, I never ever know. The only time I am sure of an employer was on one occasion when they sent me the cheque instead of the agency.
Anyway I'm back purely as a modeller, and glad to be able to enjoy everyones builds.
Come on you Jimmies

Just want to say I missed the first so I will say welcome back saint and I, for one here, hope that customer service does improve as it has a lot of complaints on here by people, including myself.
