Mini-Kiwiland

Probably not of interest or use to anyone in the Northern Hemisphere, but I would like to offer praise to the Flying Dutchman Kiro at Mini-Kiwiland Shop, on the Kapiti Coast, New Zealand, who imported the new Orion Vietnam boxes for me in record time and delivered them just a few days later:

He is increasingly stocking Vietnam War stuff like this, newly arrived:

Nice! Important to support local where possible OTB.

Yes, I am blessed in having 2 model shops just in my neighbourhood who I get paints and terrain stuff from, along with many of my aircraft kits, and even Vietnam War books as one of them is a 2nd-hand bookshop too. And this Dutch guy is only about an hour and a half's drive away. He's on-line but is starting to do theme-based shop open days, so I will have to talk my wargaming buddy into driving us down there when he gets around to showcasing all the wargaming stuff.

Oh that's really handy! There's a few local hobby shops near me, and I always support them with my business before shopping online. Though COVID has curtailed that a bit.
