ModellerMatt Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Hi folks, first time poster looking for a bit of advice/info. Has anyone ever bought anything from Arma Models? If so was it from a UK/EU source or direct from the RUS storefront? What was the experience like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Afaik they are from Poland/EU Great service, unfortunately in 48th scale stuff anylonger! https://www.armahobby.com/category/modele-samolotow Or do you mean something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepy Pete Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 He mentions Russia, so I guess it's Arma Models we're talking about: https://arma-models.ru/ Arma Hobbies is indeed Polish. A bit confusing, yes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsepajev Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I have made several purchaces from https://arma-models.ru/. All of them succesful but with some peculiarities. Firstly, since web store system does no accept orders to delivery outside Russia or CIS, you have to choose "pick-up from Moscow store" option and put delivery to abroad and preferred payment options in comments. After that you simply wait for confirmation email with delivery to abroad. Secondly, the processing of order takes surpricingly long - my record was 3+ weeks. I suppose this delay was mostly because I ordered some "future items", but it seem to take several days to get quote for delivery to abroad too. I you want a speedier delivery, thy eBay, because most of the exclusive Arma-Models items are available on eBay from third parties. Covid travel restrictions can slow postage from Russia significantly. At the moment I'm waiting for 8+ week for the parcel to be delivered from St.Petersburg to Finland (about 400 km). The delay is caused by lack of commercial flights between Finland and Russia (big thanks for that for EU). Moscow should be speedier. I have used Russian Mail delivery and payment by PayPal or Yandex payment (i.e. normal major international credit card). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModellerMatt Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 Hi Folks, Yeah it's a bit awkward that Arma Hobby and Arma Models are so similar in name! It was indeed Arma Models in Russia that I meant. TSEPAJEV: Many thanks, I'll try ebay and see if I get any joy, if not at least I have an idea for how to order from their website!
