http://www.rainbowten.co.jp/english/

Like HLJ they are also based in Japan.

Hey Jnards;
listen to Bob & Stinger the two sites they gave you are the best I've ever worked with, the best will be Squadrons though because they are the fastest, and I do mean fastest I was in Iraq and ordered some kits from them (I was on my way out when I ordered) and it took me two days to get home and in the mail was the order waiting for me so they are the fastest I've seen

Squadron's the best-look at hasegawa and tamiya as well as fine molds.

Hi John and welcome to the forums. There are alot of great places that they have listed above. I also have one to add http://www.modelexpo-online.com/. I have done ALOTTTTTTTTTT of business with them and have had no problems with them. They also have some great deals and sales. Hope to see you around in the forums.

If your looking for weird and esoteric kits in 1/72, here is a great place to look! http://www.aviationusk.com/

You can get Japanese manufactured kits of Japanese aircraft from Japan at:

www.hlj.com

I bought several from there.

Hello John, and welcome to our group.
I just ordered some things from Squadron, nice people there, but I have ordered all my models from www.greatmodels.com . Only problem I ever had was that they held up a complete order because one item was out of stock. Otherwise, I find their site a bit easier to use. (One bit of advice: when browsing their site, don't use the "back" button. Click on "continue shopping" instead. Also, choose "In stock items only".)
Both are really good companies, though.

John, try www.squadron.com I use them often, hopefully they'll have what you're looking for. Bob
