Nice half-track stowage.
I've never heard of Blast Models before. Does anyone happen to know of any distributors for them in the UK or Germany (or failing that, other European countries)?

Steve,
I'm not sure if they have distributors in Europe, but we have their on line shop (http://www.blast-models.com) that works extremely well.
I buy from them direct and the service is flawless.

Agreed.
They have a € 20.00 minimum order limit - however, I find myself having more trouble restraining myself

Buy direct !!
The service and update information is exceptional .
The customer service from Blast is as what I have found on the net
1 of the best .
Reason : the figures and vehicle products obtained from their online shop over the last 12 months has been very quick.
I ordered the product from Blast and had it on my doorstep in a week .
Don't get me wrong I am not giving them a big plug here but just speaking from personal experience on what I have ordered and used .
Cheers
Michael

I agree 100% with Michael in that Blast are VERY efficient indeed, however, the only gripe I have with them is the minimum quantity and the postage CAN work out a bit pricey. Also, French VAT is high (something which is TOTALLY outside their control)...
