Hi Gang,Does anyone know of a distributor for Meng Models over here in the UK ?.I`d love to have a few of their pick-up trucks but after a bad experience of buying from overseas (i got stitched-up for £28 in import duty !) i`d like to try to get some here

Your customs & excise must be a lot more diligent than over here! It happened me once. I didn't mind the excise duty too much but the "admin-fee" and extra month added to the delivery really pi&&ed me off....

SSSHHH!

I think Blast models in France stock them and as they are in the EU you shouldn't have to pay import taxes
