model shops in SE England
As some of you may have seen in the completed projects thread, ive finished the merc C9 i was building, and now need a new kit to work on while i wait for the shell of my other model to dry out so i can mask it up. I want to continue my theme of Group C cars, but i like the idea of some JGTC cars, but ive been round both the model shops in my area (North Kent- so Model World in maidstone and The Signal Box in chatham) and cant find anything interesting. So i was wondering if any of you guys knew of any other shops in the area, or mail order shops in england (i dont want to wait weeks for overseas postage!) that sells a good selection of 1/24 models . . . ive been looking through the net all day for websites but can only find ones in the USA or japan.
any help would be appreciated!

hi, well i live near dartford in kent, there is a realy good model zone in bromley (glades shopping centre) that is well worth a look as they sell just about every tamiya kit going plus all of their paints, staff are very helpful, they also do fujimi kits and revel, amt and loads of others

i would definately say that the model zone in bromley is 10x better than the one in blue water, due to the fact that it is 10x bigger! it carries tripple the amount of kits plus tamiya paints and accessories which the blue water store does not, have fun
