Hello,
Not sure if thiis the best place for this but felt i would give it a shot.
While looking into finding some upgrade parts for a BMP-1 that I am going to start I found their web site first question has anyone dealt with model point and what was your experiences? second there were 2 sets of road wheels for the BMP 1 from miniarm and 1 from modelart with a considerable price difference in the sets almost half what is the difference in these two sets if any one knows
Thanks
Derek

Thanks , for the info and I realized my manufacture mistake soon after posting. Brain infarction. I was thinking of a BMP in the 1999 chechnya war so either set should work.

I have purchased many items from Dimitry @ Modelpoint. I have found his prices reasonable and service good. He has over the years added alot of lines to the shop but I have found that they don't get restocked as often as other shops. The Modelpoint stuff is always out of stock and some things are just impossible to get (T72 turrets, T-54 turret, ERA sets, T54 spares box......)
The Masterclub stuff for the BMP-1 is top notch - buy with confidence....

Not to hijack the thread, but are the previous issues folks were having the last year or so with Modelpoint US been resolved?

I ordered from them several times over the past few years and always got great service. But recently, I remember seening that folks were having problems getting orders filled and shipped in the last year.

I've ordered from them at least twice this year and had great service and pricing.
Highly reccomended
Cheers!
