I have seen the model Co.DML bounce about here all the time. I am in need of a source to buy said Co. kits, by the way of mail order. There are very few guaiitly model shops out here in WY. So a couple places to contact would be most welcome.

I'd say depending on what your needs are, here are a few reliable and reputable sources:
www.discountmodels.com
www.greatmodels.com
www.squadron.com
www.militaryhobbies.com (free shipping over $50)
If you have a large order, you might try ordering directly from the Far East -- with surface shipping, it'll be slow but cheap:
www.tristarmodel.com
www.luckymodel.com
www.discountmodels.com
www.greatmodels.com

I'd like to add www.spruebrothers.com to the above list. Good prices, fast reasonable shipping, and great customer service.

Sorry Roy, but that is absolute nonsense. I order from both LuckyModel and Hobby Easy and the postage (airmail) is both cheap and fast. LuckyModel will deliver here (NW Spain) in around 6 days, postage, with their new system, is typically (for an AFV kit) is around $12....
Bergstiger, I would suggest (in the States) SprueBrothers, they support the site and they are reliable - all I ever hear about them is positive...Jim

I am going to agree with Kenaz and Jim here. Your are only a state away from Sprue Brothers and they have the best service you will ever recieve. I love that about Gordon, the owner.

lucky model has always treated me right nice, and the shipping is great for orders around 2 pounds, and delivery from confirmation is usually 14 to 16 days. the confirmation usuially comes in around 24 to 48 hours, and the return service, like questions and such is usually in 24 hours or less. working nights as i do, i usually miss the e mail by 12 hours[ after sleeping i check on it ]so that is my bad and not the companys...
