Is there a good place

I, too, build aircraft and ships. I've gotten great service from:

Squadron mail order

Roll Models: Model Expo is good- they have cheap prices, but a limited selection. It is worth it to sign up for their e-mail sale list:

Good luck!

There are several: Great Models at:

Expo (good tall ships): Ensign naval models: if you need more, check Tony's site at:

Hop on their web site and request the weekly email coupon, then watch the regular site weekly for the normal sales and the email for the 50% off coupon. Then its time for a road trip and ice cream.

HL doesn't carry much for tall ships (the cheap Lindburgs), some newer ships, lots of cars and aircraft & some armour. Model Expo just dropped their excellent line of plastic tall ships (dangit!), in fact they dropped all plastic models except Tamiya. Lots of wooden tall ships though.

If you're int he US and not scared to order from the UK, check out the Hannants website

selection, the prices with shipping to the US seem to be decent, and the stuff gets here reasonably quickly. The only downer is with the dollar weakening, it's not be as good a deal as it used to be, but if you want foreign kits, you're going to get stung on that anyway.

Here are some that I like:

Of course, it is always a good idea to call first and make sure that what you want is really in stock or can be ordered!

Aside from snagging that 50% off HL coupon and occasionally taking the trip to stock up, there's always eBay ...
