Hello Don,
Welcome to AeroScale and it's great to see another fellow Helicopter guy. As to your question what scale and how old of a kit you after. For the newer ones just about any on-line hobby shop would sell them.
Here's one... Red Frog
Another... Discount Plastic Models
And lastly... Dave's Hobbies a good selection and prices are about right
For older kits I suggest Ebay. I've found some great kits on Ebay and never once had any problems buying from there (knocking on wood) old or newer
Happy Modeling,
Joe

They send items from the other part of the world, but never disappointed me.

Good freakin luck! I've emailed Fujimi already, asking them to please repop their old 1/48 Gazelle and Alouette III. I never got a response. If they don't want to do anything with their old molds I wish they'd sell them to someone who would. From time to time these kits appear on eBay, but they go for a pretty penny.
