Newbie Question

vary, some 'brand new boxes' infact hold old kits, some v old, some are ok tho, some kits contain other makes, example top of my head is the revell

48th hurricane(great kit) was made by hasegowawa

Italari are now shipping out old esci kits, very a lot in quality, some good and some damn poor.

be careful as a lot of places charge a minimum fee for postage, they dont. sell glues, fillers and tools etc.

hannants.co.uk stock just about everything but are pretty slow at getting things out.

yes, i use

whats your thing? planes, tanks, jets, props?

All companies' lines of kits vary in quality, depending upon when and by whom they were first released, etc. However, with that said, I'd recommend Hasegawa, Tamiya and Accurate Miniatures to a beginner or returnee, because most of their kits fit together reasonably well, are generally accurate, and provide a level of detail that satisfies many people.

Although I haven't needed to order anything from the UK, I understand that Hannants:

is highly regarded.

My favorite is Hyperscale:

but links to another 3234 (!) modeling-related websites can be found at:
