Shipping is a bit pricey, but if it's any consolation, the customer service was great. They had messed up an order for me and they did not charge me for shipping on one item. I know that E-bay has some really good prices on the Tamiya tanks and stuff, but the shipping is a real kick in the pants.
www.dave4whathobbies.com has/had some good stuff too. Don't know if he is restocking his stuff. He is in the states. Another thing to think about is that you might want to check with your local hobby store. In the past, I had bought a Pershing tank at the hobby store by me, and they said that they would match the price of other competitors and not charge me shipping. I don't know if this would be the same for anybody else, but it is worth a try. The hobby stores in my area are hurting for business and it seems that they would go to any lengths to keep your business. With some research and patience, you may find a better deal. Hope this helps some.
