You can find a lot of prepaints at Hobby Link Japan. Look for Aircraft, 1/144 scale. Prices aren't bad:

hlj.com

If you don't want to buy a box, you can usually find the models by the piece at some higher prices on Ebay.

If you prefer to build kits, Squadron Shop has the Minicraft line. They go in and out of stock, so check the site every coupl of weeks:

squadron.com

Most major four and twin engine types are covered. Unfortunately, I don't think anyone has ever put out an A-20 Boston.

Norm at Toy Soldier Gallery also sells them. Not sure of specific brand or models carried, but he's into a/c so stock a good selection

I second Minicraft and Academy. They have a lot on 1/144th kits for WWII and modern aircraft.
