TriStar Masking Tape
We have just taken delivery of a new range of masking tape rolls from TriStar. These rolls are very much cheaper than Tamiya and seem to be made from the same material.
















They are available in the following sizes (with prices)
3mm £0.99p
5.9mm £1.35
17.8mm £2.35
30mm £3.25

They come on a roll so there is no dispenser. However, this is a significant saving on Tamiya tape - for instance, the 6mm Tamiya tape costs £4.25 per roll!

Iwata Discounts - Last Chance
Just to remind you that our 15% discount offer on Iwata airbrushes and Compressors ends on 30th September. This offer includes postage worldwide so if you want the best airbrushes in town then now is the time to get one with these incredible savings.

ModelMaster Paints
Another reminder - we now have the full range of ModelMaster Enamel paints available for shipping. We, of course, ship paints on their own - we do NOT have a requirement that you buy a kit. ModelMasetr paints are £1.65 a pot - we offer quantity discounts on this item so please send us an e-mail if you are looking for 10 pots or more.

Telephone Number
Our telephone number has changed. If you need to talk to us, please note that the number is now 01473 785327 - for those of you overseas +441473785327.

Not much this week - but let's look at the Dragon Meteor

New Arrivals
 The latest list of new arrivals is up on the web site but it is mostly decals and Tamiya re-issues. To have a look, go HERE.

Dragon Meteor

The new Dragon/Cyberhobby Meteor III in 1/72nd scale is proving to be very popular and on inspection, is a very nicely moulded kit. Experts we know have stated that it is the most accurate Meteor around at the moment. However,, at £26.99, it is very expensive for a 1/72nd scale kit. In current terms, though it is competitive with new Hasegawa kits so maybe we have a new base line price point (unfortunately).

Iwata Airbrushes
This is almost the last chance to benefit from our amazing 15% OFF offer which must expire on 30th September. We must be the cheapest around so don't miss out on the chance of a new, 10 year guaranteed genuine Iwata unit. This offer also applies to Compressors. best of all, if you buy an airbrush and a compressor as a set, you will get an additional discount. All of this with our usual Worldwide FREE Delivery!

Web Site Specials
We are close to the end of our web specials. For the list of remaining kits and accessories at half price - yes 50% discount, go to our Specials Page

That's all for now.

The book was so good that the first copy we had in the shop sold within 5 minutes of being on display.
