Which kit are you interested in?

Postage to South Africa is very expensive.........1 kg parcel starts at @ $AU45.00, while Express International for the same parcel is @ $AU90.00.

a quick question for you.without hijacking the thread.mitre 10 in their wisdom have delisted uhu glue from their lines.can you recommend a good adhesive<non pva> that is availible in nz

I don't think this would be hijacking the thread as, due to the sheer volume of models I bought as a result of this thread and its mate, I certainly need a good glue that's available in bulk from local sources. I almost exclusively (the except is superglue for some delicate joins and or where instant strength is needed) woodworking PVA. Unlike normal PVA this doesn't distort or stretch the paper, is dirt cheap (about NZ$14.95 for 500ml), sands easily for wheels etc, and binds more types of paper and card. Mitre 10 still stock this probably because the huffers and glueheads can't abuse it...

The Chinook. But yeah, that is my worry, excessive shipping costs.
