The only Canadian site that I knew of that offered aftermarket parts was Dan Poulin's, but he's been gone for several years now. What are you looking for?

Thanks for the reply, iam looking for any parts or junk boxes of semi trucks, decals pretty much anything i can get as i live in the Yukon and i have to get some kits from Vancouver. i ordered some parts from the U.S but it took a month and had to pay almost double in shipping. There is no hobby shops here and i end up waiting to head down south once a yr to get any kind of paint, kits, or anything i need.

I'm sure you've tried Model Express (http://modelexpress.net/); they're loacted in Vancouver (I think). Then there's Plaskit Resin (sells resin parts, no decals or kits). You can contact Daniel of Plaskit at [e-mail]. Daniel is in Quebec.

As for decals, Jerry at Model Truckin' (http://modeltruckin.com/store/) is your one stop shop. He's in Mississippi; not exactly Canada, but he has a lot of decals.

Actually, now that I think about it, there is Doug Walker od Doug's Scale Truck Replicas (http://www.dougsscaletruckreplicas.com/index.html). He's out of Victoria, BC;and he does decals & resin parts. I have some of his decals, and they are quite nice.

Good luck.

An unfortunate update is that Model Express is shutting down soon, currently selling off inventory so prices have come down however a lot of items are gone already.

Yes, I did read that yesterday. Very sad, but all good things must come to an end.

I've heard good things about these guys:
www.scalehobbyist.com/index.php

Ok, they're not from Canada; they're from New Hampshire. But they sell trucks!

Of course, there's always Elm City Hobbies in New Brunswick:

Your best source for a Canadian supplier at this time is Plaskit as mentioned above. I just received an order about a month ago for a planned build and I will say I am impressed. Daniel has good quality product and fair prices. I would give him high marks on the score sheet, as you will see if you surf around the board for examples of what builders achieve with his stuff.
