Internet Hobbyshops in Europe
Posted by moonwoka on Thursday, January 1, 2004 7:46 PM
Hi, folks

Since we have one and a half hobbyshops accross whole country, sometimes it's hard to get what you realy need. So I would like to know just what internet hobbyshops You are buying from. As mentioned in the subject, I'm interested in european ones for few reasons. First of all, shipping costs. Second - we utilze 220 volt current and it could be an issue if 110 volt compressor or another tool is bought Shy [8)]

If You can, provide me not only with the addresses, but also with Your ratings. Thanks in advance

Hi Moonwoka, about the only one i use is www.kingkit.co.uk . on a scale of 1 (poor) to 5 (great) i give them 4.5 stars the only reason they lost half a mark is for taking ages to got me a kit i was after. there's also www.hannants.co.uk (5 star) and www.mme.biz .... www.wonderlandmodels.com ..... www.fromemodelcentre.com . i havn't used the latter ones so i haven't given then scores. hope this helps. Greg

Hannants is good but for me on the other side of the world their 30 pound mimimum order is too high for general use.

Absolutely. I want to gather as much information as possible. It happens sometimes, that if one of the stores doesn't have something i'm after, some other probably does :) Thank You in advance

www.modellbahndealer.de

Very wide range of products, unfortunately no pictures, but if You know what You want, You can get it always a little cheaper than elsewhere. The service is also very good, nice people there and if You want something, that is not on the list, they´ll get it for You...

http://www.sgk-modellbau.de

Also a lot of products, but a little more expensive. I use it everytime, the company above can´t get what I want (so not very often).

Hope this helps!
