I've not used HobbyEasy before, but after seeing several recomendations I decided to give them a go.
I found they are currently having a sale on the older Trumpeter KV-1/2 kits... £8.68 (UK) or $13.46 (US) which seems pretty good to me.
Their airmail shipping will bump this up but they do a variety of types of postage including a pretty cheap surface mail option (I guess this will be very slow, but I've got plenty of kits in the stash )
thought some of you might find the info usefull

oh yes and even cheaper prices on the older trumpeter kits, but then they are less accurate

Hi Anthony,
I think you'll be quite happy with HobbyEasy.They have alot of great prices and their regular prices are the best I have found.Shipping is also very reasonable and quicker than most.The Academy M1151 Expanded Capacity Armament Carrier only cost me $32 with shipping to Canada.Time was about a week and a half.To buy it here would be $44 plus shipping.So to the UK it should be faster and even cheaper.

As I was just buying bits for the sash without any real need for fast delivery
I went for the surface mail option, and paid £4.17 for a Sturer Emil delivered to the UK
I can't remember the airmail cost, but it seemed a bit pricy
I also ordered 3 sets of 1/35 scale figure heads which went airmail for ony 50p, so very light stuff (30grams) is dirt cheap to post
(OH yes the very old trumpeter stuff (chinese T54/55 copies) is pretty poor, so beware, but by the time you reach the 'stripey' boxes you can certainly work with it)
