Sounds like a nice project. The shop i usually use is Hannants, but thats in the UK. There is one in the US i have used a few times, Sprue Brothers. I find there service is great and good prices.

Guys...I'm looking at a project for myself and I need to know who you guys buy from online.  I'm a retired USAF aircraft mechanic and I'm looking at doing a kit of every aircraft that I have worked on, 15 in all.  So I am going to need a lot of kits and a whole lot of extra decal sheets!!!  So, who are the trusted online sites that you guys buy from?  I live in central La and I don't have much in the way of hobby shops around here to choose from other then Hobby Lobby.  First kit up is a C-130H...will prob need decal kits to make it a Dyess AFB aircraft!!!  Thanks for your help guys...Keith.
