As the £ is so good against the $ at the moment Im considering buying from US online stores.
Ive had a looksee at Ent-Mart.com but am not sure of their reputation.
Eg AS90 Trumpeter now $9.99 which is about a fiver!!
Could someone please recommend a good US online dealer who will ship to the UK?
Also, I believe there is a sort of import tax duty but am unclear on how it is paid etc. I would be extremely grateful if someone could clarify this situation for me.
Thanks in anticipation

ent-mart isn't a US dealer - they're in asia, Hong Kong I believe. I'm also not sure if they're active anymore, since I've sent a couple of emails asking about kit availability / prices, and I've never had the pleasure of a reply.
You're probably better off with LuckyModel if you're interested in asian dealers. From the US, I'd recommend:
Squadron
GreatModels
I've done business with both, very good service.
On the continent, I'd recommend HobbyTerra, one of my favorite online dealers with prices in USD.

www.spruebrothers.com is US based. I ship many packages to the UK (UK is 2nd only to Canada as the top international location which I ship to).

I agree with all the above and one more to try if you like tamiya and only Tamiya is Etamiya.com, also if you are good with the japanese Yen try hobbylink japan.
