I'd try banzai hobby, even if you get stung for tax it'll be way cheaper. Ebays also worth looking at as unbuilt kits come up quite often.

They have a sale on right now but they're almost completely out of stock. You can also try some of the reputable Japanese retailers, the kits in Japan sometimes come with an RX and TX as well.

If you're prepared to do some clever bidding, you can quite often pick up a kit or partially completed kit on Ebay. They go for as little as 200 quid. Just pay on Paypal and you have no worries.

I love my second hand tamiyas! I guess I've been lucky I've never had a proper dog.

Second hand Tammies are the best way to go.... thing is some go high some go low depending on the model.... sometimes they peak at the price of a new one.. reason I stay flexible and consider other brands...Tom just about steals his lol

AND the beat goes on Jake...the real bummer is even though the tanks are beat...the owners think they are made of gold or something...what's worse is some of the bidders do as well...reason I set limits......the most common are the KT Sherman and Tiger...which is why sometimes you find the New kits priced in a good range....but if you want something different...like the Panzer IV KV2 JS2 Super Sherman...you are talking about a pretty big price jump 8O

But hey...stay positive...things fall into place ...deals will come and go.....you might want to brush up on sniping :haha:
