Is there any place to get these awesome models already assembled?

Sadly, im not good at building models  :( (attempted to build an apache with disastrous results)

Probably want to go with the diecast stuff then. 

www.flyingmule.com is a good place to start

WTF happened?  Up into the 1990s they were hugely popular.  Right now I couldn't even think of a local shop that sells them.

I saw this the other night.  Top Gear's James may is trying to resurrect this great hobby by having a 1:1 scale spitfire model kit made and then they got local kids to build it.

Great watch!  And so, so true...
