can anyone point me to the direction of getting this from the u.k

i have found it in america for 43 dollars its the postage i am worried about!! all help required!!!!!!11

thanks in advance

jimmy!

hello, quite urgent this one, all help appreciated,

Jimmy,

Great models webstore has it for 48.50 USD.

Haven't stopped looking for cheaper price though.

Hope this helps.

im weary about buying from america, i have asked them to put it back for now anyway steve.
is it anywhere else?

Jimmy,

Haven't been able to locate it anywhere else yet but will still keep an eye out. Let you know if I do find one. Have you checked Hannants.co.uk there in the UK, or militarymodeling.com also in the UK. I have a feeling they may know of some one there close by who might have one. Anyway I'll keep looking.

well the staff at great models arent esponding whenever i keep asking for shipping prices. they were quick enough when it came to stock questions.
wil send emails to the u.k stores. am looking around also. i found one at www.ecomodelismo.com but there is no visible way of contacting that actually does anything beyond open a quite random window.

azimut in france has the kit your looking for they list it at $57 us less the vat. it might be cheaper to get it at great models since the dollar is so low right now shipping should be very reasonable

See my post in your "I am disgusted" thread, in case you miss it.

About half way down page. Looks similar but is branded as a Fiat.

hi

neil

Its a Fiat Topolino

james

would that fiat be exclusivly itialian tho, it costs the same as the simca 5 from us (sopposedly with postage) but great models arent getting back to me about the postage

The simple answer from me is I don't know.

But looking at the two pictures of each kit they look the same car or very similar to me.

Alan

Alan and Jimmy,

The Simca 5 and the Topolino are actually one and the same. Both were made by Fiat at the same time period. The only difference I could find were the motors. Will find the article to back this up and post here for all.

Alan and Jimmy,

Here is where I found the info on the cars.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simca

Hope you get some good info here.

wow thanks thats cleared things up a lot it may be more economical to get the victoria models one?
