This is probably my #1 source for model kits. They are located over in Japan, but because they use yen (Japan's local currency) pricing, their prices are a lot cheaper than U.S. based stores. Now, granted, you'll have to pay higher shipping, but if you order a large shipment from HLJ, you'll definitely save money over ordering from a U.S. store.

This is my #1 source for resin kits. The reason for that is all of their kits are recast kits, so they are about half the price of the original resin kit. I know they say original kits have better detail and less imperfections, but I just can't justify paying that amout of money for an original. That's why I always go to E2046. Besides, their customer service, shipping cost, and shipping method is simply the best.

Ako Hobby is another overseas store. They specialize in 1/100 Master Grade and 1/60 Perfect Grade Gundam kits. They also carry exclusive upgrade/conversion plastic model parts. That's right -- plastic conversion kits, not resin. Ako's prices are excellent, as well as their shipping and customer service.

PLAJAPAN is a U.S. based store with a good variety of Gundam model kits. Their prices are good, and their shipping ranges between $5 to $15 for a shipment containing 1 to 3 model kits.

BBTS is a decent place to purchase model kits, but I mainly use them to buy other collectable items. They have a set flat shipping rate of $4.99 to anywhere in the U.S., and they have excellent customer service.

Dixie Art is where I purchased both of my airbrushes and compressors. They have excellent prices and great customer service. Also, if you buy over $45 worth of items, shipping is free, and trust me, when you buy airbrush equipment, you're always buying more then $45 worth of stuff.

Micro-Mark is your small tool specialists. They have a great range of small unique tools. If there is a tool you need but it's too big for modeling purposes, check out Micro-Mark. Chances are they'll have it in just the right size for building models. They have good prices, fair shipping costs, and great customer service.
