Looking for a good model shop/site

Hi

Can anyone suggest a website that stocks a good variety of models (particularly Maly Modelarz and Hobby Model)

I spotted the SU-9 Fishpot on a thread but when I looked for it I couldn't find it in my usual website haunts (papermodelstore for example)

Thanks

Robin

Robin, you live next door to the cheapest paper model seller I know:

UK PAPER MODELS

Failing that I get mine from GPM or Orlik

Generally I find it best to put a large order in to spread the cost of postage.

Last order I made was for the K-wagen, worked out £8.00 for the kit and £4 for the postage.

Hope this helps

Tim

Here you go:

GPM - modele kartonowe

Orlik Model Kartonowy, Sklep internetowy

I have never had any problems with either company. Usually the items turn up in about ten days.

Nowadays for any aircraft kit, I also order the laser frames and canopy. For what little they cost, it's not worth the aggro.

excellent tim,

those were the sort of links I was looking for because to be honest I've tried the ukpapermodelstore before and it is a bit thin on the ground for modern fighters (particularly russian jets). saying that there's a nice USS Ohio that I will probably order from the website.

Thanks

GPM is good, accepts PayPal and have never failed with any of my orders. And they keep a good stock too. Mailing expences from Poland to Europe are also cheap. All this goes for Orlik too.

I have found GPM to be a good source as well. They carry models of several other manufacturers and the postage and mailing time to the United States seem reasonable to me.

Hello Piginapoke, you might want to have a look in Slamovir's shop, he is in Germany but he's got a lot, and most of the time first..
