If you have to travel that far then you'd be aswell saving the petrol money and spending it on postage so you can order from a website!
Try
www.towerhobbies.com, they're U.S. based but I didn't think their post rates were TOO bad and I live in Scotland.
For me, almost all of my modelling needs are satisfied by the web. Just a pity about the postage all the time, but that's life!!
