Online Hobby Stores
Posted by Hondo467 on Saturday, February 11, 2012 7:25 PM

 

Does anyone know of online hobby stores that consistently have reasonable (inexpensive) prices for their model kits, supplies, etc.?  Thanks!

Umm, depends on your idea of reasonable (inexpensive). Sprue brothers, hobbylinc.com, squadron. I've recently come to find that shops in the UK can be the least exspensive, even considering the exchange rate between US and the Euro. Some of the above mentioned sites can be expensive in one area, eg kits/paint, but cheaper in other areas, such as resin parts or decals...just depends on what it is you are after...

Cheap can be subjective. My best deals have come from Spruebrothers, Dragonusaonline, and Greatmodels. They are always running great deals.

And you have to check often sometimes too...Sprue Brothers runs sometimes very short term specials. Earlier last week they had an extra 20% off their super special clearance list....I was able to pick up an Airfix 1/72 Valiant for just over $30 and a Hasegawa Lancaster for $20.

I mostly deal with Squadron, Sprue Bros. and Scale Hobyist. Sprue Bros.  has SUPER fast shipping and an excellent selection but their prices are a tad higer than Scale Hobyist. You just have to compare.
