Hi all,
I'm looking for a 1/35 Leopard 1 dozer conversion kit. I found a review of the Mouse House Enterprises kit from Australia on Armorama. Seems like just what I need, however I'm not sure how easy and at what costs I can get this kit here in The Netherlands. For payment with CC I have to send my CC details by email which I don't like to do, and payment by bank transfer makes the whole thing quite expensive because of bank charges.
Review:

Does anyone know any alternatives that may be easier to find here in Europe, or does anyone has advise on ordering Mouse products? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Martin

Martin,
Why don't you just contact MHE and see what they can do for you in regards to shipping costs?
There is no alternative for the dozer blade.....not since DanScale stopped producing their Leopard blade.
I have ordered many times from MHE and the credit card info has been fine.
It is a great kit as you can see by my review.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Shipping costs won't be the problem. I'm just not to keen on the credit card otpion as it does not make use of any secured channel. So not that I don't trust MHE but I don't like to put CC details on paper.
Anyway, I'll reconsider as this is the one and only option to get a dozer blade for my Leopard 1.
Thanks again for your reply!
Martin

Martin,
I have had Mouse House deliver products to me when I lived in the UK and also in America. I generally email them the details of the order and then phone them with my credit card details. They have been very helpful.

Martin,
I have ordered the dozer conversion and live in Germany.
I simply placed an order without CC number , name of bank etc. by e-mail and told them that the would get the same order as letter WITH all bank informations that they need.
It worked without any problem.

Many thanks for all the replies. As already said, I have no doubt MHE works professional, but I just wanted to check if there were any alternatives as well.
Will place my order at them directly and find a good way to exchange the neccesary information.
Thanks again.
