Tamiya compound and polish in uk?

Hi im new to the forum and the world of scale models i am just about to do my first proper model the tamiya 1/24 skyline gtr r33. I have the paint, primer and laquer ready but i need to get the compund and wax and cant find any website in the UK that sells it. I also need some krystal clear glue for the clear parts such as lights.

Thanks in advance

Jon

Theres pretty much no chance you will get hold of the Tamiya compound and wax coz its not imported here. The Krystal clear is stock at many good model shops and available here - http://www.mgsharp.com/Microscale_Finish_Prod.htm
