check out your local hobby lobby. they have the tam 1/48 F-16C Block 25/32 on clearance for $35.
tamiya 1/48 P-47D $25 + shipping
tamiya 1/48 mosquito $20+ shipping
hobby boss 1/48 F-105G. wings and fuselage cut from sprue. $40+ shipping.
I noticed, at my HL, their 2 A6M5 Zeke kits were marked down to that too... Still, at 35.00, it's too much scratch for a 1/48th single-engine/single seat kit.. They gotta come down another 10-15 bucks before I'll budge on it.. Now, if they'd marked it down to the price of the A6M2, it'd be another story, at 21.00... The only way I'd purchase a 35.00 kit is with the 40% coupon, and since you can't get 40% off the clearance price, some other "lucky" modeler with more dollars than sense will have to take 'em...
Meantime, my 8.00 Monogram A6M5 Zeke continues to take shape...
I did manage to grab the Tamiya 1/35th Jeep kit for 13 bucks and change though, marked down from 22.00...
if they marked down the M5 to the price of the M2 id buy their whole stock. haha
I agree with Hans....I noticed HL first clearance prices their kits at 40% and I could have done that anytime. But I wait until it gets below that price. Right now, I got my eyes on the Tamiya Swordfish at clearance price, hoping it will dip seriously below the $49 clearance price.

Yeah, I'm watching that Stringbag as well as the Betty... I noticed a guy hangin' around the area yesterday... Gotta go back and check today to make sure he didn't snag one o' those Zekes... I want BOTH...
Usually, I stash a kit I want (but am short on money) in the store somewhere, well away from the kit aisle, but if I do that, then they can't mark it down, lol..
It's the thrill of the hunt, man.... I'm stalking these kits like Ted Nugent on a boar hunt...
i usually just get kits at my LHS because of better deals. he has the tam a6m5 for $29. i was looking at the hase 48scale F-22 and it was a $100. went to the LHS and he had it for $49. he has a stack of all markdowns.
I wish we had an LHS left out here, but all we have is a HobbytownUSA which is majorly overpriced, and that's basically it. I am starting to try and concentrate more on 1/32 scale due to bad eyesight and shaky hands, and it's hard to find stuff affordably except for eBay And even if you find something on eBay, you usually get sniped. I just got sniped on a Revell 1/32 F4E kit a few hours ago. I had saved my eBay bucks and lost it by about $3.20, so a good LHS with decent prices and good occasional deals would be most welcome around here. Well, I'm off to hunt for another 1/32 Phantom. Wish me luck, I am going to need it.

In the Hangar: 1/48 Hobby Boss F/A-18D RAAF Hornet,
On the Tarmac: F4U-1D RNZAF Corsair 1/48 Scale.
good price
I don't have a HobbTownUSA here in Houston (used to but I guess they left, sucks). I do have three LHS and HobbyLobby's here. Just depends on what I'm looking for on where I go. That is a nice deal on the viper though.
