Just ok.  Prices are quite good, but it usually takes almost a month for the stuff to show up.  Unless you have to use them (like for the Waldron punch set) Sprue Brothers trumps them in just about every way.

I have heard the same thing about Rollmodels. Takes time if they have the item in stock. They don't have a real-time online inventory.

Sprue Brothers is the fastest major company in our hobby.

I agree, unless they have something unique, go to Sprue Brothers.  If they don't have it, odds are good Gordon can get it .  They're about the only place I buy from. crazy fast shipping.

I haven't ordered from Roll in several years, but I found that I'd get my order faster if I called it in, rather than order online. I'd get my order in a week or so, as opposed to 3-4 weeks. They must only check their online orders once a week or something. I'd definitely go with Sprue Bros. or even Squadron first.

thanks for the feedback guys. I've heard good things about SprueBros but some of the decals I was enterested in where fairly pricey.
