The last few months have been crazy for the HobbyZone factory in Poland as sales have grown around the globe (which is a good thing) and when it looked like the Brexit was about to happen, British retailers were ordering huge quantities of stock not knowing how, or when, they might be able to order from outside the European Union. In order to keep up with that demand, HobbyZone had to discontinue production of a number of items to focus their production on those items in high demand (the modular workshop system). Despite the global buying frenzy (which we were contributing to), we've managed t

Note: If we are low/out of stock for one or more items you are looking for, we usually have one or two shipments coming from the HobbyZone factory per week. The last two weeks have been especially busy for us, and we now have four shipments scheduled to arrive by Friday. Each shipment is typically over 150 pounds of the HobbyZone wood modules, so our UPS folks are not going to be too impressed with us this week. We will update stock levels each day on the site, so you can find what you need. Another option is to send us a list of items you're looking for along with your shipping address. We'll

When I assembled the Hasegawa 1/32 Fw 190D-9, I was impressed with the engineering of the wing/fuselage join such that the model didn't need to sit in the HobbyZone USA PS01 Aircraft Jig. After painting was finished and the decal process started, that's when I ran into problems - the constant maneuvering of the model to apply decals was going to damage the landing gear. The solution? Remove one arm of the PS01 and use the remaining jig to cradle the model while I rotate it around to apply decals! No landing gear were harmed in the application of these decals!

New in the store: From HobbyZone.pl, we have the new OM13 Sprue Organizer, OM14 Storage Hutch (which was previously called OM13 while it was made exclusively for HobbyZone USA), and a new adaptor to convert the S3b and S3s Paint Wall Racks into vertical paint modules atop the modular storage system (S3base). The OM14 is in stock, the OM13 and S3base will be here (hopefully) by the end of the week. From Begemot, we have the 1/72 MiG-29SMT, MiG-29 Family Pt.1, and MiG-29 Stencil decal sets as well as resupplies on the popular 1/48 Su-35S sheet. All are online now. From Arma Hobby,

Here's a sneak peek at HobbyZone.pl's latest creation, the OM14 Sprue Organizer Module.

What do you think?

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!

Introducing the HobbyZone OMS Series Workbench Modules
Mike Benolkin posted a topic in HobbyZone USA
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. You can find these on our webstore at http://www.hobbyzone.biz- 1 reply

HobbyZone Model Aircraft Assembly Jig
Mike Benolkin replied to Mike Benolkin's topic in HobbyZone USA
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. While this image doesn't show them, there are two wing cradles per side (when needed) so you can set and assembly biplane wings. -
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

HobbyZone Model Aircraft Assembly Jig
Mike Benolkin replied to Mike Benolkin's topic in HobbyZone USA
I'm not yet certain. The last item I helped to design is only available through my store (the OM13 Storage Hutch) but I am hoping these will be available to all HobbyZone dealers as I've wanted something like this for my own Wingnut Wings stash. -
Here's the new product coming from HobbyZone that we mentioned recently, the HobbyZone Aircraft Model Assembly Jig. Take a look at the photos and specifications posted in a preview article here.
