Thanks for the reply Doug.

I told Chris in the PM reply that no worries on what has happened. I've had several of AMK's kits over the years and they've all been well assembled.

I did see the the disclaimer on the packaging so I just figured they swapped something out.

Chris is sending me the missing parts now. I couldn't be happier with how this has turned out. Just me luck that I got one of the handful of kits that were mispacked.

thanks for the help!
