All the vendors below are online. Their prices, inverntory, delivery times and online ordering system can vary significantly Walthers is the country's major distributor for all brands of hobby products in all scales. Their annual catolog is the "bible" of hobby products and is a good purchase in itself. Many hobby shops, some noted below, will order anything for you available from the catalog and may discount it 10% - 20%. Or you can order direct from Walther's at full list price. If you have a good local hobby shop or online vendor that will discount from Walthers, you can shop Walther's site and pass the order on to your other vendor.
Inventory can always be a problem ordering online. Some vendors do not update their websites often and others will show items "in stock" when they actually will only order from Walthers after you have ordered from them. In those cases, delivery may take 2 - 4 weeks because of the time to order from Walther's, ship to their location and then reship to you.
Many vendors will take reservations or pre orders for newly announced products yet to be delivered
