Does anyone know of any UK based hobby shops or online stores that stock this one, searches aren't turning up much for me

Thanks Digger but they're not UK based as I asked ......I like to spend my money at home and then there's all that customs and import stuff to deal with which I'd rather avoid.

Have you checked amazon, random i know but there is a heck of a lot of stuff on there.

Thanks Wookie, yep checked them earlier but no joy .......I might have to succumb and buy from abroad it seems

Any luck yet? I've been looking but no uk ones so far. Which is surprising being the 17lbr version!

No luck at all mate, the local shop Antics has them on their website but out of stock and don't know when they'll get any, as you say you'd have thought the 17lb'er would be sold in the UK Sounds like its Hong Kong or bust

Don't feel too bad about it chalky....Hong Kong used to be an outpost of the empire an all that....almost family...

Still don't understand why the OP doesn't want to "cut out" the Middle man and go directly where the stuff is made ?
but I'll get reported and "redacted".... AGAIN for saying so....

I gather he wants to support his local business? Fair enough in my book. I don't know about other countries, but every time I've ordered from Asia, I've been stung with a load of extra charges which ends up more than the local price.
Never heard of anyone being redacted or reported on here?!

The OP, BTW that's me, would much prefer to buy from my local economy if possible. In my home town there's only one model shop left now whereas twenty years ago there were five so if I can buy in the UK I'd prefer too......nowt wrong with that in my book . As I mentioned in a reply earlier I'll buy from abroad if there's no alternative but just seems a bit crazy that you can't get hold of a British AFV in the UK ......BTW, love your Youtube channel, some great vids and builds

My sentiments exactly..
