UK Model Seller Question

Sat Jan 09, 2021 7:17 pm

I'm looking to buy a Continental 1:200 737-500. I found one online from a website called KH Norton (norton.co.uk) for pretty affordable. My question is, are they reputable? And do they ship to the US? Thanks!

Yes, I've shopped from that site a couple of times before. No negative comments from my side. Don't know about shipping to the US.

Have you tried the airplaneshop? They have pretty good collection and reputation and you do not have to worry about shipping in the US. It is an American company.

Where would you recommend looking for the model of an airplane you like? Where to find adequate prices and to understand that this is not a scam? Sometimes it seems to me that it is better to overpay, but get an airplane from a trusted seller.

I would look at Waffle Collectibles. They are in California. I've bought many models from them. People complain about the owner Mike, but I've never had an issue. He often sells collections he buys and has scratch/dent items as well.

Waffle Collectibles is good, but note that their shipping is expensive compared to other stores. Most of the time I can find the same thing for less shipping at like PandaFoxToys, EzToys, JetCollector, and RM Model Store.

Some good coupon codes:
Waffle: BESTFBGROUP
EzToys: BOBCAT
JetCollector: VIPGOLD
RM Model Store: AVIATION04
