That is correct. I think it has been at least 2 years.

Please email us at help@spruebrothers.com if you are still encountering this. Tech support implemented a fix a little while ago. This problem was impacting iOS 14.6.

FYI - our shipment should be on the way soon. ETA is the second half of October/early November. -
We have over 35,000 in stock SKUs (different items) at any time. As far as I can tell, we are the largest scale modelling business in North America. Here is a look inside our building in case anyone is curious. We made this video as part of our 15th Anniversary celebration last July 1.

Preference: Gravity or Suction Feed Airbrushes
gkwan replied to Stan in YUL's topic in General Discussion
I use a side feed which can be used as suction or gravity depending on the cup used. -
We have never stopped shipping to Canada. The only thing that has really changed during COVID-19 is that it takes a long time to get to you (international shipping has been severely impacted) unless you go with FedEx Express International shipping. What used to take around 2 weeks can now take 60+ days.

Of the 4 brands listed, we only import Meng. The rest are imported by others. See below for our comments on the 4 items listed: Hobby Boss A-6A 1/48; A-4E 1/48 and 1/72, as well as A-4F 1/48 and 1/72; Mig-17F in 1/48 - HB is imported by the worst model importer in the US right now as they are just about bankrupt (need money to buy inventory,). This is about the change imminently as a new importer has been established who just told us this AM that we have 5 pallets of HB enroute to us this week. I do not believe there are any A-6's on this shipment but should be some on the next

Squadron Mail Order annoying ongoing problem
gkwan replied to dai phan's topic in General Discussion
In the years past they used to be a bigger player however that seems to have eroded away. The only remaining brand they imported exclusively was HobbyBoss, however that recently has changed. Another importer will be also bringing in HB which means we will start seeing more consistent supply and inventory on HB items in the US later this summer. It is really hard to import products when you do not have any money. Their financial condition is worst kept secret in the industry. In my opinion, the primary players right now for importing modelling products in the US (in not particul -

We are expecting a restock of leveling thinner this Friday or Monday unless the shipping gods frown upon us. -
Sprue Brothers will be there. What COVID? Thought it was gone since the media stopped talking about it.

FYI - we can ship the aqua and figure lines of MRP to Canada since they are non-hazardous. We cannot ship (no reasonable cost shipping method to be specific because of the hazmat requirements) the solvent based MRP outside the US (including Canada) since it is considered hazardous for shipping (yes we think it is bizarre that a 1oz bottle of solvent based paint is a problem despite thousands of gallons of jet fuel on board, but we don't make the rules and regulations). Anyone shipping the regular solvent based MRP paint to Canada from the US through the mail is doing so illegally. If caugh

I usually use Future. It acts like decal glue, and when it dries, it pulls the decal down into panel lines, etc.
