I'd like to give a shameless plug for a model supplier, so I hope that I am not commiting any sins.
Its only in the past six months that I have taken the plunge of making my purchases using the web and have found one particular supplier to be superb in all of my dealings with him. As a statement I must say that I have no connection other than being a very satisfied customer.
He sells on the web, even accepts Paypal and offers a great range of goods at very fair prices, which also goes for his 'free postage' on any orders over £10. He runs his company part time, but does visit model shows and is very frienly and helpful in his approach. He packages goods really well and delivers by postage.
Please visit his site at:
http://www.armour-models.co.uk
I am sure that you will also get the same great service, oh by the way his name is Lou Stener.
Have a great Christmas.

Haven't yet used this supplier myself, but must admit I had heard elsewhere that he has a good reputation.

Give him a try Graham I am sure that you will be pleased with his service as he is a modeller who sells to other modellers

I'm using (cue another shameless plug!) www.modelsforsale.com at the moment, largely due to their loyalty scheme at first - but I've also found their service (courtesy of Vince) to be top-notch

I've used Lou twice and both times the service has been nothing short of superb. You need to know what you want, because often there are no pics of kits. He also sells some stuff that I've struggled to find from other suppliers (like Atak zimm).
www.modelsforsale.com are excellent as well.
If your on ebay, also look for Panther Models. I've bought from him umpteen times and have always been very, very pleased.

I was going to put a plug in for Panther Models (on ebay), but Sean has beaten me to it.. . I'm now even buying my glue and paint on the internet. If there's a problem Gavin will sort it in no time. I bought a Resicast figure set which had two left arms and no right arm....One email to Gavin and a week later I had the right arm aswel.
Highly reccommended.
Cheers
