Very good point Simon! The post-Brexit tariff situation could have lots of “hidden” consequences with costs for our hobby since a lot originates in EU countries!

We should be able to buy without VAT, but then that would you'd think be charged once in arrives in the UK, plus the usual admin cost from Royal Mail/Parcelforce, making it more expensive. Needless to say, no politics, I'm drawing blood biting my tongue. mozart and Stevepd 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonCornes Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Agreed but whenever I've bought kits from outside the UK, particularly the USA, I've always felt that all local taxes have been applied stateside before the kit lands in the UK. I know that Hannants always show prices with and without tax so the same should apply for imports from the EU but will they? If the VAT equivalent in the EU is 20% then I wouldn't complain, the postal admin charge is what it is and there's not much we can do but at least its a fixed amount - but I'm not sure why its sometimes about £8 and other times around £12? Is it based on the value of the parcel? Yes, please leave politics where it deserves to be!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 It is based on value, I'm sure I've been charged £16 in the past. It could well be some European shops are more accommodating than others, as Lucky Model are. Anyhoo, enough thread creep, will it come with spats..?

SimonCornes Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Now that’s unusual!! I have an MMP on the Gauntlet (with Gladiator I think ) plus an copy of Fighting Colours!! Silver or camouflaged? There’s a question. Probably silver so the prewar Glad follows on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 I think in service the spats were abandoned because of a build up of muck from the grass, read sometimes mud, airfields used in those days. They are very attractive though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonCornes Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I think it was a common problem - aerodynamics over practicality. Like the Magister - came equipped with spats, whipped off by the ground crew as most airfields had grass runways and all manner of gubbins must have clogged up the spats. mozart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
