I am after Panzer III or a premium Sherman but most of the places I'm looking at take me back to people on the vendors blacklist, I'm in the uk so I'm sure one you you will be able to point me in the right direction :'( , I have seen the recommended vendors list but can't seem to find some

Good Afternoon,
Horses,
I will let our Blessed and Good Vendors on here speak for themselves as to what is currently in their Inventory. If they are unable to assist (very, very rare but it happens) you might consider a couple of the good German sites. There will be shipping and some kind of Euro to Pounds Sterling conversion but you will most likely find what you want and closer than going to an American site. I have used Axel's and the Torro site and have had good fortune.
Happy Holidays,
Painless

Horses,
Surprise us all and go beyond preconceptions and find for us a new Vendor that we can enjoy. That would be a nifty Holiday gift. ;o)
Happy Holidays to you and yours!

They have a sale on now till the end of the month... purchases over 200 us shipping free... not sure about your customs fees... but I'd say it's a deal... a friend of mine ordered and got an additonal 10% off on checkout...the downside is both tanks are airsoft versions... so if anything.. food for thought ;)

MERRY CHRISTMAS... BOXING DAY ... EVERYONE :D

Added note on MATOMART... so far they have proven to be very reliable... they inspect and test each tank before sending ...also supply a stronger 2000 mah battery...metal gearboxes in both deluxe and low models...on the Sherman it has MATO t49 metal tracks ...so no HENG LONG horror they also repack the tank with bubble wrap before reboxing

the worst thing is their response system... as they only field emails and contacts every two days :thumbdown:

It's usually OK to buy smaller thing from out of the EU but with large items you're more likely to get stung by Import Duty + Tax + VAT.
