There is another problem...On some japanese kits I built, you can read on the instructions... "for sale in japan only"

Many of them doesn't arrive to europe

That's what my too Japanese Blue Submarine Number 6 are, all in Japanese and for home use only. Tis a real shame really.

That is probably a licencing issue. They are only given licence to do them if they only market them in Japan. or they could only afford the licence for Japan.

Here are a few links that you might find useful. There are LOADS of kits, but not all of them are cheap.

Problem is when ordering from America is that we are subject to customs charges, so a few models could end up costing a lot more in the end.

Fine Molds produce a range of Star Wars kits in 1/72 and 1/144 that are superb, Hasegawa quality if not better. Their 1/72 Millennium Falcon is a bit hard to find and quite expensive but most of the other kits are still readily available.

There is one kit on there I really want and if it costs me an extra £10/20 then it will be worth it

this is how i justified buying recast rip off figures from thailand. i want to buy them and there not in mainstream production and if you can find them, thyere too expensive. i really have no interest in the politics of these model companies and their mould issues, im just the customer. i know what i like and if you cant make it for me, somebody else will.

When revell and mobius re issued the battlestar galactica kits personally i think that if you have seen the episodes even non scifi fans were buying the kits simply because it was new and different i kinda agree with alan that if they did this with other kits e.g re intoduce say a 1/32 starfury and thunder bolt kit from babylon 5 they might take off (pardon the pun)just because it is different they would probably find that people are buying out of their norm, i don't know how others choose kits but i like to choose somthing that is interesting and different from time to time.
