So far as I am aware, there isn't one. Axel's in Germany is about the nearest, but his stock levels are normally almost non-existent, in my experience. There is another German model shop but he refuses to sell outside Germany.

I just tried Axel models and as you say most of his spare part seem to be listed as 'out of stock'...... clearly a big disadvantage to owning a Tamiya, whereas Taigen stuff seems to be readily available in the UK

Thanks for the info Richard

@Artyfist. No problem with the radio's or the shell boxes, I will bring them along to the next meet that you are at. The boards can be 50 x 50, I'll use them for battlefield scenery.

@Richard. You can have the orange one and I'll do a grey one as well.

Great. I will bring them next meet. Do you still want some thicker boards for your printers?

I think I have managed to solve the printer base side of things, so the new boards can be thinner. The 4mm like I had last time will be good.

After having all of the parts on shelves and in boxes and bags for months, I finally brought it all together. It's been a bit of a team effort, with myself, Silversurfer and Artyfist all contributing, so I hope it all looks ok. The paint is still drying!

Looks top notch. I hope you have left enough room for the last two gun crew :)
