Pontos/Lighthouse 1/250 Soya - any UK stockists?

[calistan]

I'm kinda/sorta/almost done with my current Nagato build and was thinking about what to get next. To make a change from battleships, I'm really tempted by Hasegawa's 1/350 Soya kit, since it's orange and white. Also, tiny. But then I saw this one - it's 1/250, which is an odd sort of scale, but it looks amazing. It seems to be an all-in-one plastic and PE kit, and the detail is fantastic.

However, I can't find anywhere to buy it in this country. BNA has it available in Australia, but it's a heavy kit and at around 300 quid there might be some nasty postage/import fees. Does anyone know of a UK stockist for this thing?

I've had some in stock but this year has been woeful across the board so I've been reluctant to hold much expensive stuff on shelves.

 

If you're going to Telford the Pontos might have some with them. If you're not going and Pontos does have them anyway, I might save him the excess baggage returning home.

Interesting! I won't be at Telford but if you do happen to get hold of one of those then I reckon you might just have made my next model decision for me.

Would be a nice build watch I reckon.

I like the idea of a kit where the detail parts are integral and don't require various bits to be sanded off. I did a Seydlitz that was like that, but this one is on a different level.
