Re: (erielack) RE: Hobby Shops and discounts

And Bob is cutting down on inventory and uncertain when you get there he will have it - same with other shops although one will order and discount but..... I ended up using 1st place hobbies as I could tell it weas in stock and discounted. Gone are the days when you walked into a shop and found paint - some have Floquil only, some floquil and accupaint, some scalecoat I but scalecoat 2 thinner - boy it sure was good in the 80's.
