guillows diecutting and wood?

[Sgt.Squirrel]

just started building the guillows javelin and fairchild 24. The javelin had lightweight wood, and the parts litterally popped out cleanly. When i checked out the fairchild, i was surprised, the stringers were is all sorts of mixed up sizes, with weevil holes in the sheets. The die cutting was horrible, and the wood almost as heavy as some 500 series kits.

Anyone else have this problem?

AAAAAH! I dearly love the Guillows kits ,but, it seems like a crap shoot with the wood. 2 of my dozen or so kits had some real badly crushed parts that were usable with a lot of gluing bits and pieces but inexcuseable as to quality. If you go back in the threads in the forum you will find this problem addressed by othe r people as well. You will also find that Guillows replaces your bad wood without much trouble. Go back thru the threads and there's one that gives an e-mail address and you should get fixed up quite promptly.
