There was a whole thread about this not too long ago...maybe it is worth doing a forum search for it?

Other than that idea, Tonio has mentioned the only 2 I can think of right now too...

Welcome to AF

Yeah the only Aussies besides you that I can think of on here are Thug, Cuda King, CalsonicR34 & myself.

Probably the biggest hobby store in Australia is Hobbyco, but it is located in Sydney. I think their website is http://www.hobbyco.com.au. Another place that you will be able to order online from with mags, mufflers, photo etched kits, alot of plastic & diecast kits aswell as old racing stuff ( signed steering wheels etc etc etc) is http://www.sherriffsminicars.com.au <-- That is my usual store and I tell you its a great place! They had a 1/10 F1 car made completely out of carbon fibre with a metal engine and real tires etc for $3000 it went in just 4 days! I think there is more Aussie modellers on here but alot of them don't come on regularly

Hey I'm an Aussie too! There seem to be quite a few of us around when you start looking I'm pretty new here too.

What exactly are you looking for? Are you into Racing and Rallying or Street, Hotrod type stuff?

Just for general kits Frontline Hobbies of Newcastle seem to have a good range.

For all the aftermarket Racing bits and pieces talk to John Lancaster of Grand Prix Miniatures Australia, email is: [email protected].

Another Aussie here. I am from Newcastle, home of Frontline Hobbies - one of the stores mentioned by RallyRaider. They do have a good collection of kits, though their aftermarket gear can sometimes leave abit to be desired - some Fujimi wheels but that's about it. Also, I suggest you ring them if they do not have something you want listed on the website, as they are sometimes a bit slow in updating the website, and some of their more obscure stuff never gets listed.

Other than that, I have also dealt with John at Grand Prix Miniatures. He is extremely helpful and very prompt with deliveries.

Cheers,
Pots.
