Okay Guys . . . .
Do any of You know Fred ?
Well, I do!, for a long time now and I have to say he has great kits at fantastic prices!
Here read this from" Bone Diggers Best":
Best Online Source for OOP Kits
Fred's Model World - Fred Sterns is just your average model-type guy that took his hobby more seriously than his everyday job. He threw away the corporate "good" life to follow his dream of selling OOP model kits at a discount. Thank goodness. Fred responded to a loud cry from modelers for affordable classic kits to build. What started out as a part-time service to friends later grew into a legitimate full-time endeavor, Fred's Model World. Starting as a mailing list Fred eventually moved into cyberspace with the help of John Tulley. His website picked up where the mailing list left off. Fred's listings are grouped by manufacturer. Each has a kit number and name for identification. Every kit is checked and obvious problems are reported. That's all nice but the real treat is the pricing. It is possible to see kits go for 30-50% less than their eBay counterparts. That is not just a treat, it is a prize. Fred also holds "want lists" for his customers. If a specific kit on your list comes in he will inform you. This eliminates the need to inquire each time about models you want. Kits that are not sold are eventually offered on eBay. They usually show up on two lists before this happens to ensure each of his customers has a fair chance at it. Last year he struck a deal to cosponsor Jason Keller's Albertson's Taurus in the NASCAR Busch series. His list is updated upon new arrivals. You can access his current offerings at members.aol.com/jftully/fjs/
It may take some time to get it from his listings,
(cause its like a hot knife through butter,"FAST!")
but, well worth the wait!
Check out his site for Julys listings just to see his offerings.
Maybe even get on his mailing list too.
Tell him I sent You.
