Very few places in the EU have easy access to spare parts and it was quick.
One other supplier I used before would be 21-30days at double the price.
Would be good to have an option for parts not listed

Great service.
Pretty incredible you were able to provide me with a very specific small part from my Gundam model that had broken during construction.
My only criticism is that the delivery cost was £5. Which feels very very expensive when it was such a small piece.

Wonderful service for spare parts in the UK
Super fast delivery, arrived well packaged and clearly cared for, saved my model. Slightly pricey, but spare parts for an expensive kit in the UK will do that to you. If you’re familiar with the OEshop, this service seems to be run by the same people, any they uphold their great reputation. Cheers!
