Brit moves to USA and need to find great resources

Posted by Andiroo on Sunday, February 8, 2009 4:26 PM

Hi All

I am an intermediate level modeller / builder who has just moved from the UK to the USA. I have some 'ok' local model shops but would like to know of some great online resources for models / equipment / paints etc. Main main interest in WWII aircraft but from time to time i also make other military models.

All help welcombed.

Many thanks

Andy

to the forum and the other side of the pond, where are you in the states? as for online stores you have squadron, sprue brothers just name a few both have decent turn around time but sprue brothers turn around time is better in my opinion.

Welcome to the Forums Andy . Squadron, Great Models & Sprue Brothers are the on-line sources I use the most.

Welcome to the US, hope you like it here.What I would do is find a LHS if there is one local,and maybe join a club. I'm not sure as for on-line shops as I don't believe in credit cards (atleast for me too easy to get in trouble,I did when I was younger lol). I do hav a debit for emergencies. If you happen to be in or near Jersey I can help you locate several good shops..

Again welcome to both here and America,

John

I use www.internethobbies.com quite often. Lots of Verlinden goodies there. Nostalgic plastic is also a good source for Anigrand models and others. Oh and +1 for Sprue brothers. Also Ever try Ebay???

PS Welcome to the states!!!
