Someone got spoiled....
I made sure to stay within my Sis's money on the kits seeing I have already added 5/6 since the start of Dec Hase=$40+ Academy=$21 and the Tamy=$28=$89 she said spend it on your hobby and Hobbytown was already on the to-do list for supplies.

How many aircraft can you fit on that carrier deck. Jesse? Good haul Kevin. I've got the Mustang coming, some time, as we just ended a mail strike recently. In PG getting the truck serviced and walked to the LHS. Their Tamiya paint selection sucks, almost out of every colour. I decided to stop in at a small hobby shop up highway to see what was in stock there.....a full rack and lawdy, lawdy....the correct colour of green. I bought two green and two yellow. I've ordered some Tamiya mixing bottles so I should be able to mix up enough U.S. Interior Green to last what's left of my life. The red if for my current GB. I have to mix this with a wee bit of black to match the red checkers. I've never owned CA deponder before. One of my faults(list not included) is when I custom mix paint, I never keep any for touch-up, hence the small mixing bottle

Nice bit of shopping and lucky you have two hobby shops even if it's a bit of a drive to get there.

There was an old fashioned one in K-Town that sold out to a fantasy D & D store. There are two in the Mil-Town, but they are pricey and have limited selections.

Not really hobby shops. Vic. The first is more fantasy, trading cards and educational toys. The model and paint section would fit in a bathroom. The second caters to the RC people and the hobby and paint section there would git in a slightly larger bathroomNice bit of shopping and lucky you have two hobby shops even if it's a bit of a drive to get there.

As much as EBay is what it is, I get most of my kits there. There are my specialty shops, but they have became mainstream and aren't as well priced as they used to be. Inflation and time has changed that.

Totally agree Jesse. Prices aren't what they were a few years ago. I'm glad I went on a spree four or five years ago

Jessie, have you ever checked out Scalehobbyist.com: Model airplanes, ships, military vehicles and modeling supplies

To be honest anymore that's the only way for a hobby shop to stay afloat is the RC stuff not enough of us modellers anymore or lets say modeller's of wartime/cars?The aircraft/ships/tanks at HT in Mobile is smaller than my collection of unbuilts.

I've been using them for twenty years. They've only gotten better. If I'm ordering paint I stock until the shipping goes up and than back off. There standard shipping rate US is like $9.95 or 8. I have two GWH 1/48 F-14's coming in and the ship UPS. Smaller orders will be stamp savers (UPS to USPS) but larger orders are UPS. They normally ship in three days and CS is super fast. If I order something one day and something else before it ships I just email and they can combine and will refund my shipping.Looks like a good spot will look into further I went and checked some reviews( a must now) nothing but a good solid 4.75 to a 5.0/BBB.The last company I ordered from for the first time burned me for $150 on the USS Whiskey still trying to get the funds back!.
