Any recomendations for online stores in the U.S.e to purchase tools, paints and kits? Looking for cheap prices and variety. Thanks in advance

Like Anthony, I also use Squadron Mail Order. They have always been good to deal with and I have never had a problem with them.

I too have had excellent service out of www.greatmodels.com. I also use their site to check to see what AM items are out there for a specific kit and they have (on a lot of the kits) links to reviews.

The shops I prefer are (in no particular order):

http://www.discountmodels.com
http://www.rjproducts.com
http://www.squadron.com

Discount Models and R J Products have pretty good prices on most items.
