Where do you buy your models on-line?

I order the majority of my stuff from Squadron. I place the order on-line, and its at my door five days later. Their sale items can somrtimes be 50% off or more.

Hello, newbie here.

How about eHobbies.com? Their prices are cheap compare to other companies.

I'm usually hesitant about buying anything on ebay. It's not worth it for me just to save a few bucks, and I'll usually only use ebay for something that I can't find anywhere else.

I haven't ordered a lot online, but Squadron (www.squadron.com) is great. I've gotten a lot of ICM stuff from Alanger (www.alanger.us) and of course, e-bay, but I did get screwed once on e-bay, and am still sore about it. I'll probably never go to e-bay again.

Iknow i am behind on this post but it seems that lately i have got most of my kits from
E-BAY. Some you can get for a steal! I got lucky a while back and got aFAMO with trailer for $72 that includes shipping! For these you have to be pacient.

I order most of my stuff from Squadron. Most orders ship the next day and prices seem fair. My only complaint is that there is no way to track your order -- you just have to be patient and wait.

Great Models usually gets a lot of positive press, but I had a bad experience on my first order. I've placed a second order only to use a "store" credit and will likely not use them again. But, that's just my opinion, of course.

i buy mine from ebay , got myself a tamy f4j from the usa for £47 that included the postage result

ive looked at aa lot of the sites, especially squadron, ive heard to many good things about them to not. Thanks guys i was just wondering, ill probably visit some of those other sitest oday

I use Squadron and Micro-Mark, although just this afternoon I ordered a kit from Commander Series/Iron Shipwright for the first time.

Most of business goes through www.greatmodels.com, though they can be hit and miss in service. They have the largest selection and many photos of merchandise.
I had good success with www.rollmodels.com and www.modelexpoinc.com.

I use Squadron and Micro Mark.

However, for Japanese kits I look to Hobbylink Japan: http://www.hlj.com/

and for European, Hannants: http://www.hannants.co.uk/

I've had been very satisfied with the service and the prices at www.rollmodels.com.

I've had very good luck with http://www.greatmodels.com/ myself as the others hve suggested In fact, I placed another order with them today

Great models is good when they have the stuff in stock...I also like Squadron...and love buying from Steve at Scale Hobby when I can...but recently, after meeting the guy at a model show, I've been doing business with the guy from www.hobbyunderground.com... he's a retired construction worker...young...who's just running a shop from his home. About my age with kids about my age-- he is just an all around good guy- and his prices are pretty good as well....

LOL-- just went to the link to see what was what and his site is down....LOL Well-- Mark is a pretty good guy just starting out, so the website is constantly being worked on.

I've used squadron.com and rollmodels.com the most, but I do check some of the other sites mentioned above, just to compare inventory and prices. I usually try to get as much in one order as I can, just to save on shipping and the like.

I tend to split up my on-line business. Most kits I buy from http://www.greatmodels.com/ because they tend to have the lowest prices on the kits themselves. I also get some of my aftermarket stuff from them. Most of my PE sets were bought from http://www.hometown-hobbies.com/home_page because they are a little bit cheaper. However, I've bought kits, aftermarket stuff, bits, and pieces from many other online stores.

Try out a few and see who you like the best. My only advice would be to check out shipping costs. Some times these can run as much as a single kit. However, since most of my online orders were over $100 or $150 dollars, most of my orders were shipped free of charge. If you wait until you have a large order to place, you can save on shipping.
