    The best online suppliers/stores in United States?

    I was trying different places and I looked in forums here but did not find anything on the subject.

    What are in your opinion the best online suppliers in USA?

    I know that choices will vary, just please post some links you do like.

    Thanks!

      I'm sure some of the US members can help with that but a Google search of hobby shop new Jersey brings quite a few forward.
      Group builds

        Yes, Google search works BUT it does not show what professional modelers prefer.

                TBH, yours are probably above many professional model makers’ … I admit I haven’t seen models by many, but the ones I have that people charged money for, were not what I would consider overly well-built or -painted Not bad, but that was about it.

                  Depends on scale & type. I use Small Scale Hobbies, Fidelis Models, Reynaulds, Walthers, & ebay for 1:87 scale dio/scratch supplies, armor & aircraft.

                      Have done business w/them. Mostly great source for tools, scratch supplies & boat stuff.

                        Paul, I think that Model Expo may be another large online outfit in the US that you possibly may have dealt with.

                          What about Andy's Hobby Headquarters. I've seen his posts on UTube , seems to have a decent shop .

                            I think the reason we seldom do many online transactions from the US or the West is because the cost of mail is ridiculously high. I'm from the other side of the world.:smiling6:

                            Cheers,
