I have been ordering from them for over a year now. Never had a problem. Great prices and customer service with fast shipping. Use to order from squadron but they seem to have cut back on their inventory and their prices have increased over the years. I also order from Hobbylinc and Sprue Bros.

Hobbylinc prices are good and they occasionally have some of the hard to find models.

Unless I'm missing something, their selection seems a tad anorexic, at least for the 1/48 aircraft modeler.  Sprue Brothers has a way better inventory, especially in the likes of resin, such as Ultracast, Quickboost, Aries, and True Details.  It does look like they have a good selection of decals though.

I almost exclusively buy from scalehobbyist.  Their service, selection and price are SUPERB.

I just received a large order from them, and it was my first from them. They have the best price I could find for Valejo paints. I will be ordering from them again.

One of the reasons I order from them is their Velejo paints.

Totally satisfied with scalehobbyist, never had an issue. The site also offers a watch list and notification via e-mail on the odd chance what you want isn't in stock. Shipping from New Hampshire to the Pacific Northwest rarely takes more than 7 days.

we're modelers it's what we do

95% of my shopping is from Scale. Best pricing, good packaging, and next to no back orders after I order. Defiantly recommend them.

Squadron and Sprue Brothers both have product shown on their websites that seem to be stuck in perpetual backorder.

I noticed that about Squadron as well  . When ever I get an email regarding a sale they never seem to have anything in stock that I am interested in . I also find that  their prices tend to be on the higher side.

I've ordered a few things from them and can usually find things on their site a little cheaper than on others.  There is also another site that I like to visit, www.jachobbies.com  They are a locally owned online shop here in Idaho, but will ship just about anywhere, they too have really decent prices on kits.  They dont stock much in the way of supplies, but their kit selection is pretty good and very reasonable.

They almost always have the lowest prices.  It's been my go to site since I got back into the hobby.  I like their page layout too.  It's nice being able to single out kits like all of their 1/48 WW2 fighters at once.  Most items have multiple photos and, over to the right, links to upgrades like PE, canopy masks and resin goodies for the model you're looking at.

Looks like I found another webstore to do a little shopping in. LOL! I got a chance to check out the website and I like what they have to offer. Even the prices are pretty reasonable.

I agree with the others, very satisfied customer here- and like Blueline, Scale Hobbyist is also my first choice for online distributors.
