As for tankzone I have ordered thing from their eBay shop with no problems on the odd occasion but as the item was correct and not faulty there was no cause for communication. On their website how ever I email about some hvss suspension about 2 years ago. Still awaiting a reply

I tried 3 different browsers but Avast keeps flagging site infected with URL: Blacklist

I've never had a problem with them before and they do sell some parts that other vendors don't.

The site is classified as not secure, typical of small business sites, which puts the responsibility on you to run a suitable virus checker. Some anti-virus packages set to the highest setting wont open these sites (or 90% of the internet for that matter).

If you access by your phone you should be fine.

Armour, go through his eBay contact 'wargamer144'. He is genuinely a nice guy and most definitely not a rip off merchant. I used to build model warships and had a issue with a chap that supplied what used to be Sirmar, this guy took it over from this previous owner...the old sirmar owner worked full time at casting fittings and hulls etc, the new owner took over the castings and moulds etc but it's a sideline to his regular employment which sees him out of the country, it's wasn't until I knew this that I realised he was genuine. It's the same with Kin at Tankzone, he's really busy doing other stuff as well as having issues with obtaining stock etc. Patience and trust are the keywords. I think we are getting to used to the world of Amazon and need to step back a bit and remember the days of a postal order and a self addressed envelope and a long wait (for those of us of a certain age that can remember those days!)
Tanks for the memory?

He always disappears for a time at this time of year because of Chinese New Year.
