Best place to buy

Personally, I like Luckymodel. They're cheaper than most of the stateside shops could ever hope to be because they're based in China and for small items like Photo Etch the shipping is usually free. I just bought the new Bronco Panzerwerfer 42 for $55 including shipping. That's about $25 less than stateside MSRP without shipping.

Great Models is as one gentleman said, hit or miss. I won't order from Squadron anymore because chances are they do not have it in stock. A close friend of mine works for the local shop and has all but stopped dealing with MMD (Squadron) because of their lack of actual inventory. Spruebrothers is very fast yes, they tend to be a tad more expensive but if they say it's in stock then it IS in stock and you'll get it within a couple of days.

I use ebay for most of my PE sets and gun tubes, however I've found that tracks sets in general are just as inexpensive/expensive from online dealers as on ebay. I use Sprue Brothers, R&J Products and Squadron most of the time.

Not sure if they have any good deals  on AM stuff, but www.riders.com has great deals on paint.

A lot of people have hit or miss with Greatmodels, but I've never had any problems with them. Just be sure to order "In-Stock".

Anymore, ebay is my preferred choice.

Scale Hobbyst has the best prices by far. Sprue Brothers are super fast shippers. Both have excellent customer service as Squadron too. These are my main sources.

if you are going for online buying try ebay, hobbylinc.com, or scalehobbyist.com.

Oh, as for plastic for Christmas, I also recieved two "wingy things" (even though my heart is with armour), and my 8 year old daughter gave me Dragons' 1/35 German Snipers.
