My go to hobby shop
August 20, 2020

New Hampshire based outfit with maybe the best retail scale model website in the U.S.
Great prices, exceptional service with a quick turn around time and a good selection.
There's always a list of available upgrades on each item's page
This is always my first stop when I'm looking for something to build and if I don't see it, I ask.

I have recently found this company and I am very happy I did. They have a great selection, refill back orders quickly, and ship out faster than most. Prices are generally good but not always the best.

I'm a very active model builder, almost full time (retired) so I buy an average of $750 per month in hobby supplies, kits, electronics and etc.

Scalehobbyist is my go-to for paint, scratchbuilding supplies (styrene), glues, solvents and kits.

Their prices on paint are among the lowest

Their prices on kits are average

Shipping is awesome' usually $9.95 and it comes in a very sturdy box, perfectly inventoried and FAST. They often fill an order in two to three days and have it to me within a week. When they take longer on filling the order they will often expedite it to you so it's about one week.

Returns and refunds; since I've been with them I've only needed two refunds for some paint that had congealed too much. They did not quibble, they simply replaced the paint.

They are my first stop on any project or for hobby shopping.

I have dealt with Scale Hobbyist for about 8-10 years. Great service, good selection, fast shipping. If they have it- I purchase from them. Always my first choice!
