Hobby Shops
 
I'm looking for English hobby shop who has a huge range of modern fighter jet in scale 1:32 or if possible 1:24

American hobby shop have no interest, due to customs duty
Last time I ordered a thing from USA I had to pay about 45 $ in customs duty

Was told that everything I order outside EU I have to pay this customs duty.

Anything in particular?

Got one in town that's been there (either there, or just next door many years ago), and another new one has opened very recently. Didn't expect that.

A quick scout about on ebay showed me that 1:24 or 1:32 modern jets are like rocking horse poo. The most modern I could see is an F-16, other than that it's back to the '70s with a Harrier GR.1, Hawk or Alpha Jet.

From my model making youth days this has always been the case, 1:72 is the most prominent scale followed by 1:48 and then down to 1:144. Nothing else ever used to be catered for, and that still seems the way.

Oh I forgot to mention that

F-14 or F/A 18E

I have always loved to build my model in a bigger scale than 1:72 or 1:48.

If it is not a WWII bomberplane, like the Lancaster, Wellington, B 17, B 29

Try emodels, modelhobbies or modelsrgo, I don't know what the postage would be like to Denmark but they are the sites I use regularly and they all have a great selection.

Come down to 1:72 and I may be of some assistance.
