Help! Where can I buy Plane Models?

Post by MrAirbus »

Hi you people here,
Where can I buy airplane models online???
I live in Sweden and there are no place to buy any models here!

I have been making an order at www.flightminiatures.com, but I have no idea how good there models are?

Have any of you any experience? :jump:

I really what scale of 1:100/200 and not too expensive!

Take care! :plane:

Wooster is also famous I think. They have a large array of plane models of different airlines. The most planes of my collection are wooster and they look good to me. But they are all in plastic. And then you've got also GEMINI. They look very nice and are made of metal.
Som aybe you can give it a try by these manufacturers.

I always order my modelplanes on...

www.aviation-center.de
www.lhshop.nl

These are very good modelplane websites.
You can trust them.

Indeed, lhshop (Luchtvaarthobby shop) is a great place to buy your aviation stuff. It's the biggest aviation store in Europe. Maybe if you're near AMS you can visit them. The shop is located just on the border of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Also in Schiphol, "Schiphol Plaza" you can find a small plane shop, with many models. Succes ;)

Why not :confused: :?:
I already sold 100's of model airplanes on E-bay and never had problems with it , don't forget E-bay is a very good and secure system !!!

If someone is looking for a model in particular just let me know and I can sell you the model outside e-bay if you don't thrust it...

And what about the helicopters ?

Post by rotor »

As a heli-fanatic, I'm currently looking for helicopter models. These are harder to find :cry:

Anyone has an idea ? Would be nice to visit a shop in Belgium for that.

Thanks.

Try: http://www.airplaneshop.com or http://www.nwa.com/cgi-bin/worldgear.cg ... s&cart_id=

Those are where I get all of my models from and I have never had a bad experience with either of them.
Onward and Upward...

Hi All (especially those in EUR land)

Have you all checked out www.aviationretaildirect.com they stock almost every make, right now prices are only in GBP, but a EUR payment scheme is being set up :wink: with payment to a Belgium Bank. You can join the club and get an immediate discount of 10% on prices (a Belgium club will appear soon :wink: ) with a selected collection available in Overijse, anything not in stock can be ordered by the 25th of each month with delivery to Belgium by 3rd of next month ! By collecting models in Belgium you can avoid postal costs as well, let me know if you want more info,
