TWINSET 1793 Posted July 6, 2012 Stella are doing the Pajero for £146 shipped, you should be able to sell the body parts easy enough too. Factor in a customs hit though, I just imported a Wrangler from them and got stung :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bromvw 744 Posted July 6, 2012 might be worth a chance but like you i got hit by customs recently . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thommo 1218 Posted July 6, 2012 It's all been said before but you guys having to factor in the possibility of being stung with a hit and miss import tax is just poo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Percymon 2184 Posted July 6, 2012 It's all been said before but you guys having to factor in the possibility of being stung with a hit and miss import tax is just poo. It is, but better than being hit on everything which is probably where this nanny state is heading ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bromvw 744 Posted July 6, 2012 I've mostly given up on imports from the USA . The risk of duty just makes it too much of a gamble . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr crispy 2293 Posted July 8, 2012 bromvw, Modelzone in Crawley last month were still advertising the CC01 Landcruiser kit with lights for £99! Might be worth a call? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lupogtiboy 454 Posted July 9, 2012 I was gonna post that! I went in there yesterday, and they didn't have anything cc-01, not even the display model I've been tempted to buy eveytime I went in there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bromvw 744 Posted July 9, 2012 MODELZONE . Have you tried their web site ? Its almost as good as their totally useless store staff . For the love of all things, you can'nt even do a search to locate store stock . Even Argos are better . Joking apart Modelzone appear to be moving away from stocking Tamiya at all other than paint and static models . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr crispy 2293 Posted July 10, 2012 I was gonna post that! I went in there yesterday, and they didn't have anything cc-01, not even the display model I've been tempted to buy eveytime I went in there! Thats cos I grabbed it last week Sorry lupogtiboy but TBH the bodyshell is trimmed & painted so badly its a joke... and the bonnet mounting holes are off centre! Just as well I want it to be a rough trail runner. MZ seem to be turning into a toy shop now rather than models, shelves full of snap fix "kits" and naff RTR cars that I'd be embarressed to give my & 7 year old nephew! The only half decent branch I know of is Croydon, they have a whole basement floor dedicated to real models and their RC section is a little better than most. Holburn use to be good but I havent been there for a few years now. And yep I agree the website is shameful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lupogtiboy 454 Posted July 11, 2012 The Eastbourne shop is pretty good too, though a trek to get too, Its quite an old shop, lots of reduced stuff in there too. I agree that MZ is really bad these days, all RTR cheap rubbish they charge a lot for, they don't have a lot of highstreet competition though these days, same as Halfords. I was put off by the bodyshell, I was hoping it would drop in price a bit more, even though £99 is cheap for a new cc-01! They did have a NIB one day last week, but when I went in on Sunday that was gone too. They only had a Lunchbox, Pumpkin and a rere Holiday Buggy. We need to BRING BACK BEATTIES!!!!!
