I buy my models off eBay mainly. The only shop I use is ModelZone.

They do sometimes have good prices (Ł20 for a Sunstar Mk3 Escort GL / Cabrio).

Never tried any of the online shops above but it all depends on the prices. If ModelZone is the same price or maybe a few pound dearer, i'll still go there as I can pic the car I want and make sure its perfect.
