Hi all,

Has anyone ordered Vallejo Model Color from HobbyEasy?

Did the package arrive in good order (i.e. uncrushed and leaking)?

Were there any customs issues with importing paints? I realise acrylics aren't necessarily flamable, but customs agents tend to be sticky sometimes...

Thanks

Rudi

Hi Rudi

No poblems at all, although they were sent a part of a bigger order and were packed in with some kits and no problems with customs either.

I did find their range a bit limited and I have since used Colorado Minatures, who I would highly recommend to anyone.

Cheers

Rudi I have bought quite a few Vallejo paints from HobbyEasy and I have had no problems with supply and/or crushed stock.

As an alternative check out Models for Sale at http://www.modelsforsale.com/ they also offer a complete range of Vallejo paints and extremely good service.

Cheers

i also would like to add my recommendation for modelforsale.
i bought vallejo from them, and arrived in good packaging. never been taxed...
they have this policy to email international customer for shipping quotes. if you didnt like their shipping cost, you can cancel the order.

hobby easy have limited stock of vallejo...
