Hi,

On the Tamiya web site it lists this : Australia Toy Traders Pty Ltd Phone 02-9749-1733 Fax 02-9749-1032

The link is here http://www.tamiya.com/english/agent/agent.htm

there is no email so I would phone/fax this Agent and ask who the closest re-seller is to you.

Good Luck

Look mate,
I've had many dealings with Toy Traders (in Sydney)Dead [xx(], and unless their management and staff have changed, you're better off getting spare parts and stuff from a model shop - let them be the middle-man.
In my dealings with Toy Traders I found them to be unhelpful, inept, rude and hopeless. To make a long story short, I DID end up getting the replacement parts I ordered, but only after numerous, incessant phone calls on my behalf.
They never returned calls. The forgot to order stuff. There was one guy tho said "I'll call you back about that at 4:45PM" and he actually leaves work at 4:30! They posted a Tamiya 1/12 scale replacement motorcycle fairing in AN ENVELOPE!! Did it get crushed while on it's way to me? Angry [:(!] Only a little. The next one they sent me (to replace the damaged one) they sent in a box about 2 feet square.
I know several proprietors of model shops in Melbourne, and they also hate dealing with Toy Traders because of the problems they face on a daily basis.
Like I said, probably better off to get yer stuff from Toy Traders via a model shop. Let them help - besides, I think Toy Traders really don't want to deal with the public - they see themselves as a wholesaler.
Cheers
LeeTree
