VooDooCC Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 This has probably been covered, but I couldn't find it, plus I know I'm not the only one who's wondered what everyone's favorite online stores are? I would have no problem supporting local stores, but I drove 100 miles to find 2 hobby shops, one with horrible selection and the other with an almost acceptable selection; both with very high prices. If it matters, the main items on my shopping list are: flock (I refuse to pay the $25 hobby lobby wants), some paints both acrylic and enamel, alclad, and iwata angled (steeper angle) siphon feed bottles.
bbowser Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 I buy primarily from Model Roundup when I buy online. Great guy to work with, excellent service.
martinfan5 Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 I buy from a variety of different online stores and ebay, it just depends on what I need and who has it for the best price and does not charge an arm and leg for shipping.
Tonioseven Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 I buy from a variety of different online stores and ebay, it just depends on what I need and who has it for the best price and does not charge an arm and leg for shipping. Same here.
Kaleb Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 By far the best I have dealt with, haven't bought kits yet but have other things, and that would be jiminohio.com (you can send me a kit later for the plug lol jk). Good prices and great shipping cost. I mainly buy on ebay because i can get them pretty cheap if done right. and like mentioned before a variety of stores.
Tom Setzer Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 For Kits it is mostly Model Round-up, but I do buy from some others. I have several online Stores that I buy Tools, and supplies from, including Amason.com! For paints I like to use the Maker's site. CHEERS! Tom

Modelmartin Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 I go for Island Collectibles, Strada Sports,Hiroboy and HobbyLinkJapan. Oh, and of course Ebay. I have also used Slixx. I loved working with Peggy at Model Car Masterpieces but she has retired recently.
robertw Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 Model Express and Strada Sports but I'll buy from others to get what I want.
Evil Appetite Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 Model Express and Deans Hobby Stop, Phils Hobby |Shop if I need anything other than kits, like Paasche Jars, assemblies tools, whatever else
Greg Wann Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 http://www.rocketfin.com/model_car_links.html Here is a wonderful place to find things all model related. You can thank Bruce for his dedication to this excellent list.
Harry P. Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 Sometimes what you want is only available from one place (like a particular decal sheet, for example), so you can't "shop around." But for any item I buy online that's available from a lot of sources, I do a google price search and buy from whoever has the items I want for the lowest cost (price plus S&H). Pretty simple... the answer to what my favorite online store is, is the one that will sell me what I want for the lowest price!
