Anyone know a good Online store?

[Patrick2005]

I usually buy my models from eBay since there are no hobby shops within about a 100 miles of my house. I was wondering if anyone knows of a good online shop they can point me to? I'm still looking for a few certain models and they are way to much on eBay.

Pat, get ahold of Jack, overt Model Round-Up, he's a GREAT dealer, has ALL the latest stuff, an he's just a neet guy to deal with! Tell him I sentcha.On second thought, forget that last comment, he MIGHT charge ya more!!!

Here is one http://www.hiroboy.com/catalog/ Its one of the greatest online stores in Europe. There is not much US made cars in sale, but tons of everything else, like aftermarket stuff, paints etc.

would Pat possibly combine shipping if I ordered multiple models? I'm looking for 4 in particular and I see has has at least 3 of them.

I don't have a nearby hobby shop either, so I buy a lot of stuff online.

I've used Model Car Round Up several times. I agree with George, good people to deal with. Decent prices and good service. They were very quick to fix the one mix up I ever had with them (wrong kit included in my order). The only negative thing I could say about them is their ordering method is a bit antiquated.

The other place I use a lot is Tower Hobbies, good selection of supplies as well as kits. They frequently have discounts ($10 off a $50 order, $25 off a $199 order, free shipping on orders over $xyz etc). They also have flat rate shipping, so it can save you some money if you make fewer large purchases instead of frequent small purchaces.

Shipping is based on the size and number of models in the order (some large kits count as more than one).

That depends on what you are looking for.

For domestic models, I've had excellent experience with Model Express

Japanese kits: HLJ Japan

http://www.hlj.com/

Aftermarket as well as some kits: Strada Sports. EXCELLENT service

Resin kits: Island Collectibles

For aftermarket and supplies, there are quite a lot of great suppliers. Too many to list.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
