    That tax thing is a scam...or at least I'm calling it a scam, cause I've bought from US vendors and shipped to Canada and had to pay that "state" tax.

    Also I've had the tax added in to the total on paypal and show up as separate charges on paypal, there doesnt seem to be a set standard for it.

    I am in mandatory must collect sale tax state, that is why its different for you and Rob, I agree, but lets not go down that road and get this thread closed.

    I'm not sure if it's an eBay thing or a PayPal thing, but sometimes the tax seems to rolled into one PayPal transaction with the purchase price and shipping, and other times it appears as a separate charge.  

    I see the tax in the Ebay shopping cart.   The reason its different for you , Ohio is not one of the 34 states.  Looks like you made the right call moving out of state here?

  3. From Aoshima is the 2016 Toyota JPN Taxi, a purpose built vehicle to be used for the taxing of people.   I am just happy to finished it up, it took 4 paints jobs to get it to this point ( issues with the clear coat) and it still has issues, I ran out of cares to give so it was either bin it or finish it.   Paint is Nissan Black from Scalefinishes.  Its an overall decent kit, the side door doesnt fit to well in the close position( shocked!)

    eBay has been inconsistent w sales tax collection since they started collecting it a while back.  I’ve found I don’t get a sales tax charge on international purchases like this, but sometimes do from US sellers.  

    Ive been getting nailed,  my total was $29.10 , I got nailed for tax on the D30 tractor kit I bought from the UK as well, consider yourself lucky for the time being.

    I ordered the Land Rover from Shop4Megastore in the UK.  $27.99 with free shipping to the US.

    That seems to be the same seller as the Ebay listing,  both are listed as being in Chesterfield,   I would of rather bought it from their website, could of save a few dollars on sales Tax

    We will see. I have had poor luck in the past with 91% IPA and Tamiya. At least this new stuff is turning pink. Hopefully by tomorrow morning I will see some progress. 

    Yes, so have I, Tamiya's TS stuff can be a pain to strip because its a synthetic lacquer .  If its already turning pink that means its working and you can probably start scrubbing it off now.

    Three weeks in new Super Clean in a sealed container. Tamiya pink primer, Testors laquer, Wet Look clear. Hardly budged the Testors, didn't do anything to the Tamiya. Once the parts dry out, I will try new 91% IPA on the parts, and a 7% hazy IPA for me. I tried ELO before the Super Clean and it did nothing.

     

    Well, yeah, its not going to work, Super Clean does not have the right chemicals to strip "most" lacquer based paints.

    Super Clean- enamels and acrylic paints.

    91% IPA( alcohol) -acrylics and lacquers.

    Now, that above is not set in stone, and is just a baseline to go by.

    I've ordered a bunch of kits from those guys this year. Like 5 of the Ford GT LM's and a McLaren 570 and a new AAR Cuda. All with free shipping (Canada). They've definitely got the best prices or very near.

    One issue I have is that they wrap the kit boxes in those cardboard sleeves that really arent very strong. I few of my kits have arrived with slightly squished boxes (no internal damages) but the boxes were definitely a bit flatter on a corner or two. It doesn't help that the Revell Germany boxes are a bit soft already.

    I just ordered mine. Thanks for the link I checked the other day and didn't find the kits up, 

    I think all but a few went up in the last 48 hours, this one went up today. Its safe to say the kit has been released now.

    Now you can skip the Whats In The Box video ?

    The ones I've seen on eBay from the UK tend to start around $27 + $15 shipping, think I'll wait on Tower Hobbies.   Model Roundup will get it eventually also I'd assume.

    New listing Rob ( as of this reply, 2 available)
