HELP Finding Supplies
Posted by hunter49 on Tuesday, March 1, 2011 4:30 PM

I need to find an American source for MR. Hobby stuff. I have been to the home site, it is in Japanese and doesn't quite translate to English. They got this great wrench like thingy to open paint bottles that's just the right tool, no more spanners. Also who sells bendable styrene rod. Need such for chassis building. I am the world's worst web surfer , need HELP.

GSI Creos/Gunze Sangyo (ie. Mr Hobby) products are distributed in the US by Dragon Models USA.

Enjoy the ride!

Phil, that site is for dealers only. There are no prices or way to purchase goods without a vendors number. Also MicroMark does not carry Mr. Hobby. Still looking, they make some great stuff for modelers. How about bendable styrene rod??

Thanks Hawk, went there and found the Mr. Hobby stuff I wanted. Now for bendable styrene rods. I want to scratch build a couple of custom chassis.

I get those brands off of eBay.  Decent prices, and a lot of good sellers.
