Yes, the joys of free-market capitalism! Each store can set its own prices in an attempt to attract buyers away from the competition. All that counts is they don’t set the price so low that they lose money and go broke…
For the buyer, the trick is to find low prices, but make sure the store is reputable - far too many internet stores are unreliable or downright crooked.
Where I buy it from, the 400 ml. bottle costs 20 BGN(10.20 EUR).
But I do have a 10% discount in this hobby shop so it costs me something like 9 EUR and change.
Love the stink (it chases all “distractors” away) and always keep at least 2 bottles in stock.
Yes, you have to get used to it. But sometimes I forget myself.
I was born and raised in a country in which the price of a product was indicated during its manufacture. Typographically, extruded or in any other way. And if you sold this product at a different price, you could be sent to prison.
These are my father’s things (photo paper, a film washing tank, a scale for chemicals, and pliers).
There’s a lot to be said for that kind of pricing! That would keep the prices of Dragon Tiger kits down at affordable levels, rather than the 10x inflation they were seeing not many years ago…
Back from a trip to the LHS and surprised to find they now stock Mr Hobby products
So apart from the Mr Hobby bits I brought, some other bits followed me back to my truck.
New compressor. The previous Magnum unit, on the left, gave up after about 7 years. The regulator siezed and repair with replacement would cost nearly as much as a new one. It’s going to stay there though as the ‘brush holder is handy for my compressor hose.
From top, left to right (because it’s not very clear).
Etched meshes - sometimes necessary, license plates for cars and tractors, incl. at 1/43, because I recently bought a bus from the 60s.
Etching for Soviet armored vehicles and additional hinges for them separately. Fresh etched for an artillery tractor. And impellers for Soviet bombs from the WWII period - will come in handy, in the plans for a couple of bombers from Zvezda in 1/48.
That looks like the same compressor that I have. It’s chugged along for about 10 years now without a hiccup. Came with the regulator, hose and brush holder.
Just the bare bones with this unit. I have one of those pots with a brush holder on tthe top in my spray booth. But the two brush holders on the old Magnum unit are handy for parking the hose end and prv fitting. Anyway, its handy there still and not in anybody’s way.
someone from my modelling club sold me this with some decals:
I already got those kits but person had them on sale and there are a lot of modelling opportunities with T72:
One decal is this from ask model:
