Steve,
This topic seems to come up a good bit, if you do a search you will probably get more info. For my money you can't go wrong with either Missionmodels.com, or Discountmodels.com. Both offer great service and prices.

Steve, we have a descent list of "On-line Stores" here on site. Go here: Armorama's Shopping Links
Most of which have been rated by our members. :-)

I swear by Squadron.com. I have been using them since about 1988 from all over the country and Germany. I have sent in orders by snail mail, fax, telephone, e-mail and now web-based ordering. Satisfied with their service and prices.

Thanks, sometimes it's just easier to ask someone rather than sift through 1200 web sites, not knowing which ones are reputable. I really appreciate the input.

Steve, discountmodels.com is the best that I have used.
They have good prices and really good service.
Mark, the operator, is a really nice guy.

I agree, I have used both MissionModels and Michigan Discount Models. Both Jon (at MM) and Mark (at DM) have been very helpful and patient with me.
I would recomend them both without any hesitation.

For oversea sellers,air mail takes 1-1.5 week to ariive
I would suggest
http://www.ent-mart.com (good service, lowest price i have seen)
http://www.hlj.com (good service, full model range but expensive)
http://www.rainbowten.co.jp/ (oldest online store but expensive, website looks like a mess)
