Model Building Stuff!
That's right, you're here because you're interested in building models! And I've put as much information as I can on this web page to help you out. There's links to my favorite sources for kits, cool model web pages, museums, kits that I've built, and a huge load of pictures that I've taken over the years. Oh, and all of the pictures on my web pages are copyrighted! don't steal, but you are permitted to use them for yourself. :)
Please check back regularly, I'll be adding links and photos as they become available.
So, without further ado, here's my favorite links for finding kits!
Ebay listing for 1/72 scale kits Exactly what it says, I've tried to put in as many modifiers as possible to rule out die cast and odd ball stuff, but it still creeps in.
Armour in Scale This site has alot of 1/72 scale stuff, ENJOY!
Heavy Kits Lots of oversized 1/72 scale kits, AWESOME stuff!
Anigrand This is a site with lots of oddball, VTOL, and Experimental types.
Military Hobbies Which is more focused on armour than a/c.
Hobby Terra These guys have a lot of Russian import kits.
Tom's Modelworks This site is also pretty good with a decent variety of kits.
Squadron Shop Which is the standard in the U.S.
Hannants Who are the British version of Squadron.
