buying models
« on: April 29, 2018, 08:09:03 AM »
I live in the country and no where near a hobby shop (50mi) So I'm limited as to where to get kits and different supplies. Can anyone suggest a good online hobby shop? Sorry I don't trust evil bay and they really jack you on shipping. Went to a model show- swap meet and  could not find the one model I was look for. (37chevy) Nobody had one. So I guess I'll order 1 or 3.

I buy some stuff from Ronnie Setzer at Southern Motorsports Hobbies.  smhracing.com
Also Mikes Decals  mikesdecals.com
Also Tom Carter at Spotlight Hobbies.   spotlighthobbies.com
Spotlight also has a good message board that caters to all types of model building.

All good guys to deal with.

http://www.motorcityresincasters.com/index2.htm    I have bought from them before...great source for resin bodies/trans kits.

http://www.fredsmodelworldonline.com/new.htm   Purchased from here as well...great source for some rarer, more obsolete kits....prices are reasonably fair.

 http://www.bigdonkeyresin.com/   Larry was big help on a build I did as far as getting period correct pieces.  Great source for bodies as well as misc. parts

Ronnie is in Lenoir, North Carolina. I always get great service from him and Mike at Mike's Decals.
