Cory, Squadron didn't use to be that bad but they did something to us Canucks over the last year to put any order out of reach. I had the same issue with two resin wheels for my P-40. $2.50 for the wheels and 18 bucks to ship. I sent them an e-mail but heard nothing. I've taken them off my list of go-tos.

 

[Rogi]

Sigh, don't get me started about Squadron, did they change owners?

 

[destrozas]

they do not know, but here it has always been very expensive items for which there are thousands of brands and have exclusivity nothing to always pull eastern europe that are cheaper and perhaps the same quality.

Yep, took Hobbylinc off my list as well. 8.24 to ship in the U.S., 43$ shipping to Canader. Cheaper to buy overseas than across the street.

Yes, I won't be ordering from them again. I usually order from Spruebrothers or Hannant's and will just stick to them. I didn't realize the price jump was so recent.

Awesome work Sergio, and glad the canopy is sorted.

 

[destrozas]
