I second the MEK option. That stuff requires ventilation, but I use it to clean/soak airbrush parts during a thorough tear-down. I was introduced to MEK years ago while stationed at Davis-Monthan AFB, we used drums of MEK to strip the paint off of the 390th Bomb Group's B-17G that had decades of thick paint from its time as a borate bomber. It took several of us a few drums and around six months to rub that airframe down to bare metal..

The final restock of Attack Squadron detail sets has arrived including the 1/48 Grumman F2F kit, 1/48 MQ-8B Firescout kit, 1/72 MQ-8B and MQ-8C Firescout kits. Last call before they're really gone! The restock of Res/Kit wheels along with their new releases including the 1/48 MiG-25, MiG-31, Su-25, etc., are inbound and should arrive next week. The HobbyZone USA PS01 Aircraft Assembly Jigs (Plane Stands) are now in stock. We now have the optional thumb nuts to upgrade the PS01 kit's wing nuts. The new Begemot 1/32 MiG-29 family airframe and weapons stencils sets have also arrived and are available in the store. The HiQ series of yellow-kabuki-tape specialty paint masks are now in stock. www.hobbyzone.biz

I've tried several of the flimsy laser-cut jigs over the years and never had much use for them. This is based upon one that I had over 30 years ago made by a local member of our IPMS club, but much lighter and more flexible. The photo above is a prototype, I'll have images and building tips for the production model shortly. The one above doesn't have the scale in the nose side of the base (the production model does) and there is foam padding in the holding surfaces that I didn't install on this prototype.

The PS01 Aircraft Assembly Jigs (Plane Stands) are now in stock. Thanks to all who purchased the jigs at the introductory price. Here is the link: https://www.hobbyzone.biz/ps01.shtml​​​​​​​

We don't have a photo yet on HobbyZone.biz as we don't have the production units in yet. Here's a preview with two of the prototypes: https://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/tools/hz/tool_hz_jig.shtml

Sorry, no. The system is not set up for pre-orders as we don't want to take peoples' money until we have the products on-hand.

The HobbyZone Plane Stand (building jig) shipment is now inbound and should be here early next week. As promised, we'll have an introductory special - the first ten stands (one per person) will sell at $49.95 plus shipping, after that, they will be available at their regular price of $64.95 plus shipping. Thank you for your patience! Note: We're told by the factory that HobbyZone USA will be the exclusive seller of the Plane Stand for the foreseeable future. If you live outside the US, email me directly at sales@hobbyzone.biz and we'll see what we can do to support you. We're expecting the final shipment from Attack Squadron in the next few weeks, this will have the C-130E/H engines, C-130J engines, C-130 flaps, and C-130 wheels in both 1/48 and 1/72 for the Italeri and Testors kits. No word from Arma Hobby if they've had a buyer for the Attack Squadron molds, so this may be the final opportunity to buy a set. We also have the 1/48 SBD dive flaps, 1/48 BRU-57 cVER, and 1/48 GBU-54 reorder as well. Finally, we've picked up a few of the Attack Squadron kits: 1/48 Grumman F2F, 1/48 MQ-8B Firescout, and 1/72 MQ-8B and MQ-8C Firescouts. Res/Kit has released some new sets and we're adding some additional sets from their line-up including (all 1/48): Su-17/22 wheels, MiG-25 wheels, MiG-31 wheels, UH-34/Wessex wheels w/floatation (we already have the UH-34 land-based wheels), Matra 155 rocket pods, GBU-12 LGB, and Durandal bombs. For those of you with the Trumpeter or Revell 1/32 MiG-29 Fulcrum A or MiG-29UB Fulcrum C kits, we have the new Begemot 1/32 MiG-29 family airframe and weapons stencils set due in next week.

We just heard from the owners of Attack Squadron, Arma Hobby, and Adalbertus figurines. They have announced that all three product lines will be shut down once they process the last orders and they will turn their attention to plastic kits. While we have one last order coming, whatever Attack Squadron details and conversions we have or that you can find elsewhere, get them now. The company has yet to sell the production rights for their resin products and who knows whether any new owner can match the casting quality of these products. Last Call!

Thank you for reminding me to update that. It was only ten months out of date...

We discontinued the free shipping special several months ago and instead, we offer a flat shipping cost for orders over a certain level, and this varies by shipping region. If your threshold is $150 (for example), then you would be charged the same shipping for $151 - $500 or more. Orders below $150 in that example of course pay less shipping, but we do not mark up our shipping costs nor do we mark up our prices to offset shipping costs.

We're expecting the new PS01 Plane Stand (model aircraft building jig) in stock soon with an introductory price of $49.95 USD. This new jig is far more flexible and stable/solid than those laser-cut alternatives on the market!

The first increment of OMS modules are now in stock. Check out http://www.hobbyzone.biz for more.

And when they grow up, they want to be regular OM modules...

Introducing the new HobbyZone OMS series. These are the same workbench storage modules as the OM series, but these are 7.9 inches wide (20cm) instead of 11.8 inches (30cm) to help optimize the unused space on your bench. These new modules will work perfectly alongside your OM modules right down to the magnets. We'll have these in stock next week. For more information, stop by www.hobbyzone.biz

We now have Begemot decals in stock as well as the Attack Squadron and ResKit resin parts announced previously. Begemot, Attack Squadron, and Reskit products ship free within the US. You can see our Begemot stock here: https://www.hobbyzone.biz/begemot.shtml

We do have ResKit wheels and weapons are for the 1/35 Mi-8/17, but I'm with you on seeing more 1/32 out of either company. We'll be on the lookout for good details in 1/32 scale and we'll have the Begemot 1/32 decals in soon.

Interesting. I am using Chrome as well. To err is human, to really foul things up takes a computer...

The cart is working from here from the computer and from my phone. If you're on a slower connection, the cart can be slow to appear on each item for sale. What browser are you using?

We're adding new items to the site before they arrive, but it we do not have an item in stock at that moment, the order option will disappear or simply say 'out of stock'. We do not accept backorders - if it says you can order it, it will ship within 24 hours (except on Sundays, of course). The Res/Kit items are available now, the Attack Squadron items are in the US and hopefully here in the next fiew days, and we'll be receiving Begemot Decals within the next week or so.

We've received the first shipment from Res/Kit and they are available now. Attack Squadron details should arrive soon. You can see what we've got here: https://www.hobbyzone.biz/modeling.shtml

Here's a look at the updated HobbyZone aircraft assembly jig prototype. This is close to production now and includes the rulers along the horizontal and vertical axes. You can view the images on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/hobbyzoneusa/

The HobbyZone Starter Sets are back! Look under the Modular Workshop System for the set(s) you need. Aircraft Assembly Jig: HobbyZone will be releasing a new aircraft modeler's assembly jig in a few weeks. We'll get that in the catalog when pricing and availability are announced. We are receiving resin detail sets from Attack Squadron and Res/Kit soon. Those catalogs are online under Modeling Accessories. We are carrying the TacAir Publications reference DVDs for USAF, USN/USMC, and US Army aircraft camouflage and paint schemes. Look under the References section. Stop by the store for the latest! http://www.hobbyzone.biz

I think Out2gtcha is referring to HobbyWorld USA as I buy my MRP paints from them as well. They also import the HobbyZone products, but when I became an importer, none of the 2-3 importers at the time were carrying the full line nor much stock for any individual product. We're now the leading US importer with 2-3 shipments coming per week.
