I have also had good experiences with scalehobbyist.com, and they have very good prices.

I use Hobbylinc all the time. No problems at all. I like scalehobbyist.com as well.

These two sites have the best prices around. Much cheaper than Sprue Bros & Squadron.

Shipping is a little slow, but have never have any problems. I can wait a few extra days to save a few bucks.

I've bought kits and supplies online from hobbylinc a couple of times, and haven't had any issues, other than they are a tad slow, but not any more so than a good number of others. Used my credit card, no hassles.

Bought from them once before about a year back... no troubles.

Some of the paint I am now considering I can find elsewhere for quite a bit less (like 1.49 versus 2.49), so I am considering hobbywarehouse.com more at the moment. However, I have not yet bought from hobbywarehouse and cannot say what they are like.

I have used hobbylinc for all my online ordering, but that is only a total of 3. There prices have beat everyone else for what I needed when including shipping charges. I am out west (Utah) and the shipping is horribly slow, but I have come to expect it now.

I really have not found another site that has better prices on kits. Hopefully someone else can point me to one!
