Important announcement to all EU/EEA customers: From 9 December 2024 ordering from the EU will be temporarily suspended in order to allow some time for completing all the necessary changes for compliance with the new EU safety regulation GPSR. This is ONLY FOR THE EU, the shop remains open as usual for the rest of the world (and the UK). EU ordering will resume asap.

After placing an order or sending an email enquiry, please check your junk mail/Spam folders if you haven't received a reply within a few minutes.

For the latest information on any mail restrictions by Japan Post, please check here.

A note to customers in the EU: There is no tax-free import for low-value items any more. There will be VAT levied on ALL purchases, regardless how small. Upon receiving your parcel you will have to pay VAT plus a handling charge by your local postal service. This shop is not set up for charging EU-based VAT at purchse and unfortunately won't be able to do so due to EU regulations. It is still totally legal to sell and send to the EU without charging VAT upfront, customers just need to be aware of the charges when receiving their parcel.

A note to customers in the UK: This shop is set up for charging UK VAT upon purchase. It will be automatically added to your checkout total and parcels will be marked accordingly with the invoice on the outside of the parcel. There will be no additional charges upon receiving your parcel.

Update 08/12/2024:

Ordering from EU/EEA countries will be suspended from 09/12/2024. Hopefully this will be over as quick as possible. It is to allow for some time to set up compliance documents, agreements, paperwork, package labelling etc. for the EU's new safety regulation GPSR which will come into force on 15/12/2024. 

Update 15/11/2024:

THE WEBSHOP IS NOW OPEN. It's back to business as usual, but please not that in the coming weeks the long-planned migration to a new website will happen (hopefully...) so a couple of days of slightly bumpy service may come, but I'll make further announcements, here and on social medial.

Update 29/10/2024:

THE WEBSHOP IS NOW TEMPORARILY CLOSED. It will reopen around November 15th. If you can, please stop at my table at Scale Model World, Telford. I'll be in Hall 2, Position 2D with Armory Model Group. Some brand new stuff will be available!

Update 16/10/2024:

For your information, due to my trip to Europe, including attendance of Scale Model World, Telford in November, the shop will temporarily close again on Monday, October 28th. All orders until then should be processed and dispatched. The shop will be closed until November 14th.

Update 22/09/2024:

I completely for got to mention here that the web shop is open!  Ordering and checkout has been restored to normal (actually a few weeks ago...).

Update 12/07/2024:

The web shop is now closed, the PayPal payment function is disabled at checkout. The re-opening is currently still tbc. Before re-opening though, this shop will move onto a different e-commerce platform, so it will look and function a little different from before.

Update 08/07/2024:

Important Announcement: The web shop will be temporarily closed from Friday 12 July. At this point it is unclear when it will be open again, hopefully within a month but I do not yet know.

Update 04/06/2024:

New problem alert: the vinyl cutting template in the F-104A (Early) and (Late) sets is too small! Due to a file mixup an earlier, smaller version sneaked into the production file. This error is corrected asap and new templates cut. All orders going forward will have the new template. If you ordered previously and wish to obtain the corrected template please get in touch and I will include one in your next order.

Update 19/05/2024:

The new NF-104A sets have been very popular! The full kit (4802) is compeltely sold out and the conversion set (48062) is also out of stock. The conversion set will be restocked as soon as I can though, it is not out of production. Many thanks for all your orders!

[Sticking] Update 25/04/2021:

Problem alert! I have made a mistake and undersized the ARN-101 antenna pod contained in the F-4E Slat Conversion Set (HMR 48039). A new part has already been designed and is being cast. Please see this pic for comparison:

All new HMR 48039 sets will have the new part from now on. But I also have a solution for those who already bought a set. If you place a new order, you will get a new ARN-101 part for every slat yet you ordered previously. Please notify me though, by email, PM, Facebook etc. Those who bought the slat set but won't make a new purchase can get the new part too. However, I'm very sorry but I can't send it totally for free. I can probably get away with sending it in a nornal letter so I'd like to ask you for a p&p constribution of ¥200 for every shipment. I think I can send up to 4 parts in a letter, after that I may charge more because I'd have to send it as a small parcel. My retail partners have been informed too and will have batches of replacement parts. My apologies once again, thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
