Where is a good place to buy model kits?

Question by Angry Deuce: Where is a good place to buy model kits?
I used to be really into building models as a kid, had the complete Testors line with the airbrush kit, the whole works. I mainly built cars and airplanes, but also built some movie models (Star Trek and Star Wars models mainly) as well as some Movie Monster figurines.

Anywho, 20 years later I’d like to get into it again. However, I used to buy my models from Toys R Us and a couple hobby shops. Nobody really carries models anymore (except for specialty stuff like Gundam figurines and such that don’t interest me), I’ve checked all the places around me and they don;t have anything…

So where can I go to find a good selection of model kits? Classic brands like Ertl?? I’ve done a few searches online but I never really found any one place that has a good selection, only Mom and Pops with a small selection.

Do they still make model kits? Is there an online store that keeps a wide variety of models in stock? Also, supplies, such as the testors paints, glues, sandpaper…all the stuff, I need to buy all new again as my mom pitched all my stuff years and years ago after I moved out D=

Thanks for any help…

It depends on what type of model you want. In general, you can get good, hard to find stuff on the the internet for good prices. I prefer Gundams from the UC universe in the 1990’s, but i have some airplanes and tanks which were given to me as a gift, They were bought in Hong Kong. As for supplies, you can get those in any hobby or arts n craft stores. And im pretty sure there are arts and crafts stores still around.

You might wanna check eBay for models too.
