“Returning customer”

Written on: 25/09/2012 by JohnF3F (1 review written)

I used SMC quite a bit back in the 80's and 90's. I have now returned to RC aircraft flying, so I decided to get a Fun Cub to get my thumbs back into shape. Ordered from SMC due to previous experience and price. I phoned to check stock and got an even more helpful reply than before and received the, well packed, kit 2 days later with delivery costs of only 3.99. They were good in the past - they are even better now! (read more)

Since I bashed ABC Modelsport after my terrible experience with them, I thought I'd write something positive. My experience with Sussex Model Centre is only of the good kind, they reply in hours when you send them an e-mail. When something is not in stock, it's clearly stated on their website and shipping is roughly £10 cheaper than the other hobby shops.

A pleasure to do business with. As a matter of fact I'll pay them a visit the next time I visit my sister (who lives in England). My next... (read more)
