NEWS (Last updated on 9th., March, 2010)

Following our return from Folkstone last week to attend Trucks 'n' Tracks we would like to give a belated thanks to Trevor and his staff, our customers and friends who made it such a good show. Our next venue is Triples in Sheffield on April 17/18th at the new venue of the English Institute of Sport (S9 5DA).

New releases will be posted here in the next couple of weeks, so keep watching!

This year we celebrate 25 years of Milicast and hopefully it will be another year when wecan continue to add new products and also bring back some of the older kits still shown on our website (for information only). More photographs of newly painted recent releases are now shown below.

Please note that as of January 1st. 2010, the Milicast Model Company registered for Value Added Tax (VAT) in compliance with Customs and Excise regulations in the United Kingdom. Therefore all prices* have been changed and now include VAT.

For transactions outwith the UK and the European Union, a new, much reduced, Shipping Tariff has been introduced to help offset the increase*. If you live outside the EU you will pay only £4.95 (£6.95 maximum) with £9.95 (£12.95 maximum) being the rates for customers who prefer an Insured/Tracked delivery system!

Note however that AB Figures have not had VAT increase added. As the AB Figure company is not VAT registered Milicast will pay the tax for our customers in order to keep pricing parity with them . PLEASE READ THE NOTICE BELOW.

NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS PURCHASING AB FIGURES

If ordering AB Figures, since their prices have not been increased , although Milicast must still pay the VAT due, then the normal published AB shipping tarrif will apply. Customers paying by PayPal and not adding the required postage ammount will have the order ammended to reflect the correct shipping rate. We appreciate that the shipping cost shown on our on-line order system cannot show the AB rates, but they are clearly shown on all the appropriate pages.

.

Although we have been instructed by Customs and Excise to add VAT to our prices, we have in many instances not added the full percentage amount but have absored some of the costs in order to continue to provide a good product, at a good price, with good service. We would remind customers that the Milicast Model Company does not receive any extra income from the VAT increase but actually will be out of pocket in gathering this Tax on behalf of HM Govt.

RE- RELEASES STATEMENT
In addition to new product releases, we also strive to maintain a good level of availability for all the other products in our ranges, However no manufacturer of any product can maintain 100% availability, it's just not practical. Resultantly we too have to remove products from time to time from our website. This does not mean that they are withdrawn on a permanent basis. Over time they are refurbished, remoulded and returned to stock. When this happens we return the appropriate pages to the website. However in future we also intend to post this information on this page too.

If you have had an outstanding order for any of those listed below, you should automatically receive either your order or an e-mail asking for instructions within 7-10 days. If you do not, then please contact us to confirm your order details.
