Best source of Airliner Kits?
Posted by johnnyrockets on Monday, January 4, 2010 11:12 AM

Hi all,

Super new to all the forums.

Was just looking for a good place to buy kits for Airliners, like 747's, etc?

 

Thanks a lot.

Hi JR, and welcome aboard!  Toast

There are several options available, seeing as how most local hobby shops neglect commercial aviation subjects; I will name a few of my favorite sources:

#1 is Ebay.    The last 30 or so Airliners I have purchased have been through ebay.

#2 is HobbyLinc.com     https://www.hobbylinc.com/

#3 is Airline Hobby Supplies   http://www.airline-hobby.com

  There are other reputable sources, but these are my favorites listed in order of use.

   Looking forward to having you as part of the group! Smile

Take care,

Frank

Hi JR  welcome I agree I get most of my airliners from Ebay Just watch the shipping sometimes it can be more than you pay for the kit the Two other places I get good deals on

1. The Hobby Lobby stores if you have them in your area watch for the sales up to 50% off at times and some times the clearence stuff you will find some deals It is a hit ot miss at times

2, The other place is Squadron Mail order www.squadron.com There monthly sales have some good deals also a hit or miss Last year I got 5 Minicraft 707's for around $5.00 each  

good luck on your hunt for good deals J.J
