Feeling Lucky with Some Killer Deals
Posted by RadMax8 on Thursday, September 27, 2018 5:33 AM

Hey gang. I made an order directly through Ultracast a number of weeks ago, and had a fairly pleasant experience. So, I decided to sign up for their mailing list. Well, I’m glad I did! I got an email recently about a sale they were doing on all P-51 details! 20% off, plus the Canadian exchange rate. Walked away with a small fortune in resin goodies for cheap!

Fast forward to today. While up in Michigan for work, I decided to try to find a nice hobby store. Great Lakes Hobbies looked to fit the bill. I walked in and found the Eduard Ultimate Sabre kit for $48! Needless to say, it left the store with me. 

Overall, I was fairly impressed with the store. Might need to make a few more trips whenever I’m up here!

Cool!!! I swear sometimes being able to nail an amazing deal is almost as much exciting as building it!

TB,

It's in Sterling Heights, 19 Mile Road and VanDyke. I grew up at 21 and VanDyke. Just North of Detroit.

 

Rad, I'm glad you found the place and got a good deal, it's a really nice hobby store.

Yep, that’s the one! I was very impressed by the size and selection. Like I said, I’ll be back!
