MOGUL Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 (edited) Spotted this one facebook, the vessel is loading at Hammond lanes berth on the south side and the container stacks behind are in MTL.. Would be some job masking a painting a 40ft box into rainbow livery methinks! Maybe @Arran's next release?

DJ Dangerous Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 In all fairness to Dapol, I emailed them on Sunday to ask if the print on the Rainbow Maersks is going to be as bad as it look on the Rails artwork, or as bad as their more recent boxes, or as good as their older boxes, and they replied today saying that the guy who looks after it is away until Thursday. That's good customer service so far, specially when dealing with a nasty complainant like me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is too time consuming and not cost effective. Much as it's sad to hear, you have to respect their honesty and openness. You hear that, @Arran??? We need you to duplicate Dapol's range with non-fuzzy print right now! The 45' CobelFrets and 40' Rainbow Maersks will do for starters, please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe Dapol would stick with a poor quality print. I would think twice about buying their containers but I have most of the ones I need, about 150 and there are more on the way from Arran. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointing alright, but as you say, @Arran has more stuff on the way. In fairness to Dapol, they were prompt, professional, open and honest. Can't fault them there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
