Anyone used www.Diecast.co.nz??

Hi Guys,

I tried to order a set of Studio 27 decals from this shop in New Zealand and filled my card details in from a secure form link on their website but their e-mail address bounces back as unknown. Does anybody know if they still trade?

Thanks
Kaj

They've been out of business for a while now - Looks like no-one has told the company that hosts their website.....

Thanks Mate, what a bummer. Thought I had found the decal set I was searching for.

Yeah - It is a shame...

I went there about 6 months ago and the shop was empty.... If I'd known I'd have stocked up on my previous visit...

I don't know where their stock went. They had a lot of S27 / Renaissance / CBCom decals / transkits etc. It must have gone somewhere, but I have no idea where....

There may be other Kiwi's on the board who know ??

As a local I had heard of them but didn't know they ever had a shop.

I reckon I could count the number of hobby shops left in Auckland now on the fingers of one hand

I have seen things I'd like to buy locally but I simply can't afford the prices being asked. NZ$695 for Tamiyas new Enzo being an example
