What a Gentleman!!

Just got off the phone with Tony Cincotta of Saturn models. I had ordered one of his plasma Fox .35 p/ls and sent him what my Credit Union assured me was an International Money Order good anywhere in the world. (Important tip. Don't believe all you are told..) When it got there, Tony could find no place that would cash it. Even though he did not have his payment, Tony shipped the piston/liner out and sent me an email so we could work the problem. What a gentleman!!! How many people would do that in this day and age??? (cottage business modelers excluded!!) I called him to give him a credit card and will do the same from now on on future orders. He said they have the guy that robbed him but the guy sold Tony's collection for drugs and doesn't even know where it went. And the guy is broke, of course. What a terrible thing to happen to such a nice person like Tony. But he is feeling better and starting over again.
I will let everyone know when I get the new p/l up and running.

Later,

Yes,

Tony is a nice bloke. He has had a few setbacks in recent times but is soldiering on which is good to see. He is a genuine trusting person and full of modelling spirit.

I cannot agree more. GMA had nothing but good things to say of Tony Cincotta, that said a lot to me.
Tony once wrote me he spent two years in hospital ('60-'62), for spinal cancer, underwent five operations, and the doctors said he would never walk again, but he said he's still on his feet, and gets about today pretty well. He is kinda an Oz version of GMA I think.
He e-mailed me that seeing as how I had put in a plug for his kits and all here and a couple other places (they ARE beautiful), he would send me a Fox .35 Plasma P/L liner set to try, and I could pay him when I could (this was after he suffered the thefts). I told him that was most generous, but I'd have to pay him up front.
He is one VERY nice gentleman. Guys, spend your money with him; great products, and first class service too.
