I've been using towerhobbies.com for years now.......just to check
them out, try this code   010RH  to get $10 off a $50 purchase.

I prefer Rollmodels, although the shipping usually runs 2-3 weeks.
Also Towerhobbies and Hannants.

I am in the San Francisco area. If Towerhobbies has the kit in their
Reno warehouse, I have often rcvd the kit the next day.  pretty
amazing.

Depends on which country you live in, I guess.

Cheers,

yep, I guess that if you are not 4 hours from Reno, then who knows
when you will get the stuff.....but if you are like most of us, it
ain't gonna get built anyway..... :-(

Tower hobbies usually takes 3 or 4 days to reach me on the east coast.
And I do finish it. It just might take a year. Or two...

I've had pretty good luck with Squadron (altho their prices may not be
the best). I've heard a lot of really good chatter about Sprue
Brothers, too.

Roll Models:
http://www.rollmodels.com/

Sprue Brothers:
http://spruebrothers.zoovy.com/

Squadron:
http://www.squadron.com/

Hannants (UK):
http://www.hannants.co.uk/

Hannants has a really good search function with pics. So, if you're
looking for something in particular, but want to get a look before
buying (even on another site) it's worth looking at. It's especially
good for those European items that aren't too common here in the US.

If you're looking for decals, I don't think you can beat Flightdecs
out of Canada. Lots of foreign decals generally unavailable here in
the states.

IMHO, it really helps to have a broadband connection to get the best
use of these sites, I'm on dialup right now, so it can be a real chore
to do a search or even do online ordering.
