Calling all Aussies
Posted by K4BeeTee on Friday, April 26, 2019 9:02 AM

Hi guys,

I'm looking to re-enter the field of modelling plastic aircraft kits which I haven't done since my mid teens. That's a long long time ago, and on a different continent to boot. I'm going to need all the necessary tools and stuff, not to mention kits :)

I currently live in Townsville, and as such my access to brick and mortar shops are somewhat limited. I prefer to support locals, but I've been wondering where do Aussies go for the best prices, widest choices, best service and so on? 

Any specific aussie shops/ online shops anyone would recommend?

Cheers

Bt

Heartily agree.

Their service even to the US is excellent...so in Oz it must be absolutely stellar!
