Wondering if there are recommendations for the best US based options. Used to order from Mac's Modeling. Any current suggestions?

In addition to those, I’ve also used megahobby.com and spruebrothers.com
"Slow and Steady Wins the Race" - Who ever won a race with that strategy?

scalehobbyist.com is good. Plus they don't charge a tax when you buy something from them. They are in New Hampshire.

Burbank house of hobbies, Upscale Hobbies. Quite often I'll find a kit I need on eBay and I'll see it's being sold by Burbank House of Hobbies and I'll just go buy it direct from them so they don't have to pay the eBay Mafia

I found Galactic toys a couple years ago when I discovered Dspiae tools - boy has their webshop grown!

I always check Michigan Toy Soldier Company, too. I build cars not soldiers but they have great supplies.
