Yes I have dealt with them on several ocassions, and it was great.  Very prompt, even though the prices are on the high side.  Good people.

I'm guessing he is referring to

http://oldmodelkits.com

Considering they want $28 for a 1978 Monogram 1/48 Me-262 (the box with an actual model photo versus the older boxtop art), I'd say they were a tad on the overpriced side.  Of course, it is supposedly shrink-wrapped, but they use a generic statement for 'sealed' kits that could cover a shrink-wrapped box or a sealed plastic bag with no box.

I've never had any dealings with them - but I do like to go to their site every now and then to reminisce about the kits I used to get for a couple of dollars and are now 'worth' hundreds.

I don't doubt that they are very up-front with their transactions - but considering the price you'd probably pay, I would exhaust every other possibility before buying from them.

Oh, man - $55 for an old Lindbergh Winnie Mae - maybe I could actually get it to stay together this time ... but not for that price.

Considering the website says "Domain for sale", I'm guessing they aren't for real.  Where did you hear of them?

 

Or perhaps you mean oldmodels.co.uk ?  Cuz their stuff looks really cool.

I'm thinking of ordering a kit from them... 

Thanks for any and all responses.
