🤖We've got a HUGE mix of new, modern kits and rare classics in stock! I was psyched to see the RE/100 Bawoo and MG 1/100 The O arrive, as well as the P-Bandai MG 1/100 Cluster Gundam! 🥳However... my favourite in this picture is still the Best Hit Collection 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam. For a longtime fan of the shows and the hobby, it was a blast to work on :) They even put a cute little haiku in the manual!

You can check out my video on that kit here: https://youtu.be/_uPI1Ry5VoI?si=1LpBuwBBo28-eXO6

Liam here. Our very own colleague Shannon made his debut return back to the modeling hobby with his sherman tank from the movie Fury. This was shown at the 2026 IPMS Model Showcase, but it is also on display at our store! Built from a 1/35 Tamiya kit and customized to match the specs of the titular movie tank. Come check it out! So great to see my friend get back into modelling :)

🎨NEW Paints just dropped! 🎨

Liam here with some fun paint news! We've got a rack of Mr. Color lacquer sprays, which is a great replacement for a certain favourite spray paint for model cars, aircraft, armour, Gundam and more.

Of course, spray cans can't ever stack up to the power, control and customization of an airbrush, so AK Interactive's Real Colours are made to perfectly cater to getting the most accurate real-world colours from military models to classic favourite colours.

Also from AK, BC Hobbies has the brand new Quick Gen water-soluble acrylic paints to bring you a high-CONTRAST and SPEEDY option for batch painting! (See what I did there?)

Last but certainly not least, we've got a brand new rack of new & favourite offerings from AK's diorama Terrains line! I've been using these myself, specifically the amazing Asphalt and Sandy Desert compounds! Self leveling and drying overnight, these incredibly realistic terrain compounds are perfect for any scale diorama!

Check us out in store for an insane-in-the-membrane variety of popular paint brands, or visit us online at https://bchobbies.com/products/paint !!
