Happy repeat customer

This must be my fourth order and it's always quick and easy. Great prices and great service.

Not much more to ask for, really.

Always my first choice for Vallejo paints.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Unexpected price

Original advertisement for this kit was £10.88 plus £2.50 delivery, on getting to final checkout delivery had increased by another £2.00, saved a little using their discount code. Just checked still being advised at that price needs to be changed.On the other hand good packaging and swift delivery, will use them again 8/10.
