Your Feedback:

Kitlinx has stuff no other company has, as well as handling many foreign companies making a lot more items easily available to me, here in the US.

Keep up the good work, and thank all of the folks at Kitlinx for their expert handling of my orders

The service from Kitlinx  is thorough, professional, timely  and second to none. I miss the old Great Models Webstore but this is even better!!!

Saw the ad for book collections on the site and found, "The Desert War: Then and Now"  It looked interesting for me, who had always wanted to visit the North African battlefields, but then first Gaddafi and then the civil war in Libya  next that idea in my lifetime.  The book was expensive at $99, but it is 592 pages of photos.  Black and White for then except for some taken by Fritz Bayerlein and  Erwin Rommel and then highly annotated current photos by the author who visited Libya in 2012.  He did a remarkable job of finding places and hills and mounds and even some buildings that are in pictures from the 40's that most of us have in our collection.  It is a very richly detailed and photographed book.  Kitlinx sent it out promptly and well packaged and the book itself, for a collection item, is in mint condition.  I could not be happier with the book, and the service, and the folks who thought to make this old collection available.  Hopefully, my family will do the same with my library when I am gone

Search Tips:

[Kitlinx is still working on its LEFT COLUMN searches. This work will be completed as soon as "Kitlinx-on-the-clouds" is working smoothly]

Let me add some "tricks" to the POWERFUL search engine of Kitlinx (the SEARCH BOX at the TOP of the website). Below are the KEYS to search ~ 80,000 available products (63% in US, 37% in Europe)

1. Use the top box search on Homepage

2. Use several keywords separated by spaces to zero-in your search "1/48 spitfire aircraft_model" (59 kits)

3. Use the underscore "_", like armor_models or Tamiya_ or aircraft_accessor "1/48 spitfire aircraft_access" (456 accessories)

4. Use keyword "instock" to JUST search for in-stock items  

5. If you are searching for SALE items, use the keyword "~special~"

6. Don't forget the Manufacturer's link on TOP of each Product-Page. It quickly shows ALL available product from the same manufacturer

7. DO NOT use the asterisk "*"
