Was actually looking of static models kits not R/C. Sorry miniman didn't make myself clear.

Hannants are one of the biggest mail order model outlets in Europe. They do tend to concentrate on aircraft and military nodels. Might be worth searching their stock lists though.

Don't be put off from trying ebay, although some sellers are amateurs getting rid of old rubbish, there are plenty of pro businesses with good prices on brand new kits. I've bought some great kits, even some from HK, at good prices. Just check feedback first and check they package them well!

eModels

I've used them for all my model requirements, the delivery can sometimes take a little while, but its not too bad.

I have used modelsforsale.com - very good service.

For cars and bikes I would go here. Has a very good rep in modelling circles.
