I have! I ordered a Tamiya Pz IV Ausf D and some Tamiya figures in early mid-June. Here is my opinion-- They are legit, but slow. When I emailed to ask about availability and shipping costs I was told that "as of today, both kits are available". However, I was later informed that this doesn't mean the same thing as "in stock". One of the kits needed to be ordered from their distributor and that delay seemed to drag on. After several emails over the course of the next month, I finally cancelled my order-- I just got tired of waiting. The following monday, I placed the same order with Squadron.com and had the kits on Thursday afternoon. If I recall correctly, the price at squadron was about six dollars more. If you're not in a hurry, I think cheapesthobbies.com will be fine. All of my emails were answered promptly, and a check was mailed out for my refund to avoid any Paypal charges (Paypal charges a percentage when you withdraw money). My only complaint was from their wording, I thought the kits were both in stock, and wasn't prepared to wait however long it took to get them in from their source and mail them back out to me after that. Hope this helps!
