Hey, I know this is possibly in the wrong part of the forum, but I'm wondering if anyone knows where to buy FC Model Trend stuff? (And curious about quality too)
I did see that they have their own site, but I'm wondering if anyone else sells their stuff? Worst case, I'm fine to order direct, but better safe than sorry.
I'm specifically wondering about the M1917 - FT-17 conversions, if it matters.

I can't speak about the new stuff, but I have ordered directly from them before and the delivery was timely, and I was pleased with the quality of the products I ordered.

Ok, Good to hear atleast 1 positive experiance with them, as I'm quite tempted on that conversion... Seems a little pricey for what it is, but assuming shipping isnt too bad, I'll be fine.

I ordered from them once, no problems. That price includes a EU tax that I assume you don't have to pay in Canada.

Fair enough, Good to hear another positive recommendation.
I think I'm going to wait untill after Christmas before I order from them, but let's hope that tax isnt a part of it... I saw that it said 20% tax, so about 4 euros, so around 7-8$ CAD (Rough estimate*)

I've ordered from them also, and was very happy, and I am planning to again. They seem to be the only company that offers a correct T-34/85 turret to correct the the recent Dragon release.

I have ordered several times from him, but as I live in Spain the service is very fast.
He produces very nice sets with high quality. And even if you detect a failure he replaces the part.

I also ordered when I stayed in Spain, delivery was very fast and extremely professional: door to door to my
apartment in Barcelona. Not sure if it is as efficient as in Spain.

Mircoworld in the US sells some items, Angel has told me he can get others in the past. http://www.microworldgamesllc.com/category.sc?categoryId=610

I've ordered direct a couple times ... decals and the Syrian T-34 AA gun kit. I think shipping time was under 2 weeks. Send an e-mail ahead of time and you can get the total price with out the Euro tax and correct shipping to your abode. Also great at giving pointers on Spanish vehicles.
