I'll state the obvious:
The full line of Testors/Tamyia military colors, Primers, thinners, and sealers. That seems to be what we go through the most.

Kits will be a different matter, as internet distributors offer sales and discounts. Shipping isn't too expensive since they move volume, so price will be tough to compete.
I will say though that some of Tim's prices weren't too bad.  You just need to shop the store.

...unless he'll consider a 5-10% discount.  That might get us all in trouble!

I received the following from Tim Bunn at the Raleigh Hobby & R/C shop (they bought the stock from Apex Hobby Town when it closed)  I see his reaching out to us as a positive sign - if we respond with both information & purchases, maybe we can turn around the negative response we have had there in the past and help them develop a good plastic model section.


Hey Stephen,
this is Tim here at Raleigh Hobby and R/C. We wanted to inform you and the Eagle Squadron Club that we just received a large order of paint to restock what Hobbytown in Apex was running low on when we purchased their inventory. We also have another large order coming in the next few weeks of the paints that are currently on back order, but this is not the only reason we are contacting you.  We wanted to get advice from you and the club on what you all would like to see in our store.  Whether it is specific paints, brushes, specific types of glue, models, etc. We would be glad to start carrying those products to help out the entire club, we just need to know what everyone is looking for.  We were not sure if we should create an account on the club forum page or contact a president directly, but we remembered the card you came in and gave to us. Again we would be glad to carry more products for the club's needs if we can just get some advice from everyone.
Thank you for your time. We look forward to doing business with you and the club in the future. -Tim Bunn
