Milo Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Are modeling products from aliexpress safe or legit? I don't exactly know why aliexpress is so cheap, but I think it's because of china's low labor costs and sometimes slaves probably. But then doesn't that mean that the tamiya products aren't real tamiya products? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobthehobbyguy Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I would recommend googling aliexpress complaints to see the types of complaints and how they deal with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re just expensive in the states cause they making up for import fees etc. What Tamiya products are you looking for exactly? Tools? Paint? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get all Tamiya paints there $1.99-$2.80 for 10ml, and $7-$8 for the TS cans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
