Hello everyone
After visiting the very few hobby shops in my local area, I have realised I need a good online hobby shop. I've checked out the ads around the site to support Armorama, but all the shops seems to be located in the US or in Asia.
Can anyone recommend a good online shop for 1:35 kits located within the EU, so I won't have to bother with the high import tax?
Thanks in advance.

I have made good experiences with this german shop

Very sturdy packaging and a number of brands

Blast are good, but my favorite is www.hannants.co.uk
www.netmerchants.co.uk & www.modelsforsale.co.uk are also good
I've used all 3 of these without issue.Of course they all price in sterling which is strong at the moment relative to the Euro. You may do better with a "euro" site. I've used US (Internethobies.com) and far-east (HLJ & Luckymodel) sites without having to pay import tax except on really big boxes. That's probably more to do with our Customs service here, could be different for yourself. Before deciding where to place an order I always check exchange rates!
Cheers,
Sean
