Well, first of all, it would be nice to know where you are at! Big Smile [:D]

If you are in the USA, Ebay is your best bet. or www.starshipmodeler.com is a message board full of people with immeasurable amounts of models.

Judging by your username, if I had to make a guess, you are in Japan. If so, look for a company called Finemolds. Best Star Wars kits EVER. You will never find a better detailed Star Wars kit than their stuff. You can get them at www.hlj.com and search for Star Wars. Your first kit should be the regular TIE Fighter. Best production kit I ever built.

Happy Hunting!

Ichirofan2004, if you are in Japan, just walk into ANY hobby shop you see, and you'll find the Fine Molds kits! As Bollod2 said, they are indeed the best.

There's usually a decent selection of the old AMT/Ertl stuff in most shops here, too.

Bollod2, don't forget, there are plenty of Ichiro fans in the States, too.
Actually, since Ichiro left the Orix Blue Waves here for the Seattle Mariners, there may actually be more fans over there!

Ah. Germany is notoriously bad for acquisitioning models. If by "base" you mean an AFO or military base, then ebay is the way to go. Even the people who say that they will only ship to the USA will ship to you, because the APO address is the same shipping costs as American shipping is, and it's treated the same way. Good luck Bro!

Ah, Germany! We were all wrong!
Good advice from Bollod2 there, plus you should be able to order via the internet, no? Check out www.hlj.com as Bollod2 and Akuma suggested earlier.

On my web site http://pages.videotron.com/jfp/swgallery/links.html, you can find a list of garage/store that makes and sells Star Wars models. There is few companies that sells models. Officially, Fine Molds is the only company that makes Star Wars spaceships.

I also indicate at the bottom on all the pages of my gallery of models (about 50) where I bought them.

Since there was a mention of Anakin's Podracer. This was a quick sculpt/scratch/bash I did for a friend. It was sort of a joke and gift.
