Bandaids? wouldn't that make your model smells?

Yeah, just wondering where you are in Canada, I'm from Vancouver, if you're close by, then I can just go to the shop myself.

Could be wrong here, but I think he meant that he would purchase other kits of the same model and ship them out.....You wear a respirator when you paint there Pman?

Yeah i'm not to sure now

Never worn one....dont see the point

[Wishmaster]

Do you have some more pics of the kits they sell... cause $20 is not much, almost giving it away, Most kits sold here (netherlands) are around the € 30 - 35 , some Revell cars are around the € 20 - 25 but those can't be so good.. for that price..
But still would that be more than Canadian $30 for the € 20 boxes... and the € 30 boxes would be around the Canadian $ 45, just a Tamiya model..

But since i might be interested in some models (don't let my parents here it... still got to many waitning.. around 6 models...) I would rather see pics of it first, so I know what it will be...
