Ah I see, I'm not looking for the actual hobby kits. But the reference books people buy to help them produce the miniatures accurately. Although I could start by googleing hobby kit reference books :D May be see if I can find a hobby kit forum and ask around. Thanks for the help!
They're always called hobby kits where I'm from. There are a bunch of brands. When I was little, Hasegawa was what we all talked about, but no matter which brand the stock usually still looks like it's right out of the seventies :)
