Hi All
I am typing this post from a hotel in Shengdu in China. I have been in this country for 2 weeks now and still no Trumpeter or Dragon tank in sight. Maybe I have more luck in Shanghai.
Cheers
Matthijs

Hi Mat,
I'm in Chongqing at the moment. The kits are there and they are very cheap so keep looking. I found a few small models shops all in one spot, the range wasn't great but the price was.
If you're off to Shanghai then you should be quids in. Just make sure that you get model and not toy shops LOL, LOL - I got directed to quite a few of those. If you can get someone who reads Chinese to do a search on the computer then it should throw up possible addresses in your area, that's how I tracked my shops down - with HELP :-) :-) :-) :-)
Happy Hols
Cheers

Well,
I am back from my tour through China & Tibet. In Shanghai 99% of all non-tourist stores were clothing stores I found a little model shop which only sold Dragon an Trumpeter kits which I also can buy at home. I am leaving for the Czech republic next week, maybe I have more luck over there.
Cheers,
Matthijs
