Hi guys,
this is, sort of, cry for help.
For a while I have been looking to buy Griffon's photo etched set for ICM's Type XXIII. The set is (to my knowledge) unavailable in the U.S.
I have contacted Griffon directly and they told me that the set is discontinued and they are not planning re-edition anytime soon. They pointed me to Hannants website who still have a few available in the stock. Unfortunately they have a minimum order of $30.00 dollars for the overseas.
Here is the link to the item:
http://www.hannants.co.uk/search/?FULL=GRIF1001
So here is my request (mostly for fellow UK modelers): Would somebody be willing to help me out and purchase the above mentioned set for me and re-send in to the United States? I will pay for all the fees and I will Paypal you all the funds before the purchase.
I would really appreciate help on this one guys!

Hi guys,
I finally found a set at Modelimex in Czech Republic (BTW the country I am originally from) and the owner was kind enough to sent it to me to the USA. My experience with them was very pleasant and I would recommend them to anybody.
So the hunt is over. Can Mods please close this thread?
