For some plastic kits, check these folks out:

Mikro-Mir kits usually don't break the bank, you'll have to put some work into cleaning, reshaping, and fitting some parts but that's what we had to do back in the good old days.

You can usually find them for sale on Amazon and EBay.

It's great to hear that Mikro-Mir kits are affordable and provide a nostalgic building experience. It's true that many model kits, especially older ones, require some extra work to achieve a perfect fit and finish. However, with the right tools and techniques, it can be a rewarding and enjoyable process to bring a model to life. Happy modeling!
