I want to buy a 1/35 figure for a midget sub and U-Models has one I like. Do they have any distributers in the U.S.? Seems like it might be a pain to order direct (not the easiest website to use). Also, anyone here have first-hand experience with their products?
Thanks!

Hi Steve,
I've used some of their figuers and Life Jacket Sets and there are a couple of reviews up on those.
The site isn't that easy to use and I've emailed them twice recently about some additional sets I wanted get but have had no reply so far, must be two months now.
There are a coulpe of other European distributors listed on the site so I might try there instead, although I prefer to buy directly where I can.
Don't know what''s happening there, I think it is a part time business, response was never that quick but on my original orders they did come through.

Thanks Al. Not the best news - maybe still the holidays are in effect!
There aren't many options for something suitable in 1/35. Their midget sub figure or crewman with binoculars would work great but nobody else offers much.

Hi Steve,
Yes, his figure range has grown considerably, I wanted some stowage for the ELCO and I've been thinking about a couple of the USN Crewmen, to go with the Royal Model figuers I've picked up.
I sent in the order form but I'm still waiting to here from him.

Hi guys
Please allow U-models (read Rodolphe Roussile) to have a break!
U-models is a one-man show...
I am sure that once he can he will deal with orders and questions
Cheers,
Rui
