Hi Mick and welcome to the forum. Many years ago I stayed in Sydney with relatives, during my time there I found a brilliant model shop in the centre of Sydney. I can't remember exactly where it was but it was one of the big main streets possibly George Street? It was a huge shop with the model section down in the basement. If (and I mean if!) it's still there, you'll find most of the tools you'll ever need, it was a far bigger shop than any I've ever seen in this country and with tons of exotic kits we never saw over here. Good hunting and best of luck!
