Hey guys,
Used to enjoy those minor ones loads when I was young, and I am still very interested in the high detailed ones, with loads of parts, although I haven't bought since I was about 8:p

I was wondering where I should start, I like the look of the complicated model kits, but I fear that I would mess it up due to it being overlycomplicated and messing up the paint/gluing together.

Am really mainly interested in cars, motorsport, rally, road cars, anything automobile really!
Don't want something too basic with like 10 parts to it already painted, want something medium level, until i can move up to a higher level.

Whats the best company to go with, any reccomendations on specific models or companies?
Know any cheap places where they are sold or how much I should be looking to pay for a decent one, any that come with paints, glue already with it etc.?

Thanks in Advance.
 
Thanks for the sites guys, no place in England that sells the models for cheaply, since that site has some slightly odd prices like 100 quid for that Ferrari F1 car:eek:
 
Yeh, just spotted a few for sale, but how much is shipping and will I get stung with taxes etc.?
Like I said in my OP, motorsports, sports cars.
So particular interests are rally cars, F1 cars, lambos, ferraris etc.
Thanks a lot for the help Lopez
 
80p:eek: Will check that one out too, thanks to all of you for your information, keep it coming!:D

EDIT-Dublove, that site you use, the HK one is very odd shipping wise, it confuses me :S

Subaru Rally Car
ANY decent street car/sports car

Thank you very much guys:)
 
hmm Hannants don't seem to have many car kits looking on their site..
Online stores are preffered, really want a Ferrari F1 car and Subaru Rally car, also that new GTR model by Tamiya looks amazing!
 
ok guys, the best site seems to be http://www.emodels.co.uk
good prices, like the F1 '07 ferrari for 14 quid!
They beat prices elswhere, so anyone know where it is cheaper?
Also, they beat shipping costs from competitiors, theirs is 3.50, would prefer it was cheaper, so anyone know model sites that have cheaper shipping in the UK!
Thanks a lot guys..
