Does anyone know who stocks Kinetic kits in the UK? I want to get my hands on the F16s which, by all accounts, are very good but I can't find who sells them in the UK.

Thanks for the info Roger. Yeah, i can get it from the far east but HM customs might want to have their pound of flesh (even though the rules are changing regarding imports), they're a devious bunch of b*ggers. The kits appear on ebay international as well. As you've seen them on trader stands then there's some hope I might get them at a show on this island. Roll on Milton Keynes in feb... I do find it strange that the range isn't easily available here.

Hmm, not listed on their website... but maybe in the future? Thanx for the tip simon Update: Following on from Britmodeller (which I can't get into because I'm not a member and I'm sick and tired of having to sign up for endless forums, apart from this one of course ) I think I'm getting closer, Freightdog Models list them as a manufacturer but no stock of anything ... or not yet anyway. But the fact that they list them is a positive. More legwork (or finger tapping work) is needed from yours truly

Hi Neil,
I have had stuff from LM many times and never been subject to HM custims charges.
I got one each of the first F16's from Kinetic. 30 quid including postage for them both
LM service is spot on usually a week for delivery

I have looked at the luckymodel site but i'm still reluctant to buy from abroad, if only because of the exchange rate fluctuations However, Freightdog models list Kinetic as a manufacturer. I emailed them just before xmas but I've not heard anything back, which may well be due to the holiday break so I'll give it a bit longer to wait for a reply. Surely, someone will stock them here considering how good they are...
