I have been in touch with tank zone ...he ( Kin) has assured me that all duties have been paid ..

So the amount you paid tank zone is all you will be paying for your Tank..

Mine should be with me in the next 2 days fingers x ..

Thank you guys! I had the same response from TZ so I feel really relieved...

Well my tamyia kit arrived today...no extra money had to be paid..

Now all i have to do is build it

Well, it's now been two and a half weeks (11 working days) since I paid for my KT @ Tank Zone and I still haven't received the parcel...

Kin told me on the phone he would send me the tracking no. soon but so far I had no news from him... Just a little worried / sad...

Get Kin to chase it up..mine came into the uk via DHL..and then passed on to parcel force for delivery. Also it came the day that Kin said it would.

I mailed Kin on Friday. He promissed to get on the case... His mobile is off.......

My Tank has arrived! My Tank has arrived! My Tank has arrived! Thank you!, Thank you!, Thank you! Love you all!

Good news . Now on with the build

Have fun hope to see it soon

Well, I've cooled down The kit is very impressive, especially to "R/C" tank beginner such as myself. I have already decided to spend a fortune to upgrade this beauty to maximum with 3rd party available parts. Tankzone offers them as well and when browsing their contents I found these:

I'm wondering if they are an actual UPGRADE or are they simply spares in case one looses or damages the original ones... Could you tell me if those screw sets offer any BETTER quality from the original ones?

Thank you all for help with buying this kit. If it's OK with you I'd like to start (another) KT build log on this site. I hope you won't mind!

Great! That's sorted then - I'm getting them!
Actually, I thought of buying all the upgrade parts from this store in Germany:

Since they're in EU I will not pay any extra Custom Charges or Taxes. Just the piece in Euros, right?
They seem clear in descriptions and dedicated to models. Oh, and they're German Apart from that I find their prices "acceptable". Would you recommend them as a supplier or are there better sites / online shops for the KT model in the UK?

Please, advise!
