We’ve all done it. I’ve done it too. We go to Hobby Lobby and see those great large scale kits and wish we could afford it. Well, now we can. Hobby Lobby is offering an internet only 40% off coupon. This coupon is good for the week of May 28 through June 2.
40% off coupon for Hobby Lobby. Wow! But you don’t need another kit right now. Well, do you need modeling tools? Hobby Lobby has a great selection of tools by Excel and Model Master. Scribers, burnishers, sprue cutters, razor saws, the list goes on and on. Are you good on tools? How about brushes? You can replace those worn out brushes with a nice brush set. Oh, your brushes are fine too. Well, you can earn points with the wife with something nice from one of Hobby Lobby’s other departments. Any way you slice it, this is a good deal.

Thanks Gator. I haven't been to Hobby Lobby in a year or so and I've heard that they have upgraded their kits considerably since then. I'm making a run today to see what they've got. Mainly looking at getting a cheap Tamiya t-72. Only saw 1 at the show and the guy wanted $40 for it. It was $43 at Squadron, and there is some guy seling them for $35 on ebay, I still think I can do better than that and avoid an $8 shipping charge.

Ended up picking up the Tamiya 350 scale Fletcher, which then inspired me to hunt down a good deal on the Hasegawa 350 scale Yukikaze. So with tax, paid just under $25 for the Fletcher and with shipping, got the Yukikaze for $48 from Lucky models. Ordered a PE set for each from AAA models (ebay store with really fine prices and reasonable shipping costs). So I guess I'm about kitted out for the year. Going to have to start building a little heavier now to keep the stash level down

Gator, ours is pretty sad, have a couple of snap together kits and a few car kits and thats about it. Lots of stamping supplies if your into that.

They did have a good selection...problem is I already had them all with the exception of the Fletcher. They had the AZ, NC, Lex from Trumpeter and the MIghty Mo from MR T and f course a few FLetchers. Tank wise was pretty sad them having 3 differnt brands of Abrams as their mainstay along with a few other old Tamiya staples and early Dragon kits. I might print out another coupon and run up to the one in Irving, but kind of doubt it as I went and got the Yukikaze today as well from Luckymodels

I got Trumpeter's 1/350 Essex for 40 percent off which is a pretty good deal. I regulary stock up there and you can catch deals quite often. I bought Academy's 1/32 F-16 for 21.52-bought two!! It was orginaly 100 bucks!!

Get the Tom's PE set for that Essex. It really adds some nice super detail to the kit. I really liked the under the elevator detail and of course all the cranes and radio pole, radars, and railing. I built this kit about 3 years ago and it was a great build. Make sure to buy a couple of extra aircraft kits for it. Order them from Luckymodels or Hobbyeasy. They are a lot cheaper and as they don't weigh a lot shipping won't break your back.
