Model Construction Kits - where to buy ?

Where is the best place to look for constructions kits, plastic or metal, of classic motorcycles, particularly Nortons ? Both real bikes ready to go, so need to fill my 'lock down' time !

Here is a Norton Commando kit:

Inside the box is not a 1970 Commando but a later type (71-72). It is a reissue of a model from the seventies.

Heller, now Humbrol/Airfx/Heller also used to make a Highrider and Street Scrambler model.

And here is the Proddy racer:

Also a reissue of an old Protar kit.
