"Maybe they are lowering thier prices?" Yeah! and I've just seen a green striped pig fly past my window! The site does have a lot of choice, just a shame a lot of it isnt actually in stock. Perhaps he's addressing that fact. He did say he was going to cut down on the amount of choice of stock so perhaps this is it?

I was just about to post that Tankzone were offline but got beaten to it. However, my customer service was excellent. I called on a Monday to check they had the Tiger I wanted in stock,ordered there and then and it arrived first thing Wednesday. Furthermore an email query I sent to Kin regarding battery charging was answered within a few hours.
I hope they aren't offline too long-I have a KV in my sights!

Having said that, does anyone know anywhere elseI can get a full metal upgrade KV in the UK?

I don't think it is a matter of tankzone going out of business, but that someone disregarded the web site registration renewal notice.

http://whois.domaintools.com/tankzone.co.uk

It expired on Mar 1 then entered a suspension period after 30 days (end of day April 1). After 60 more days the domain will be up for grabs.
