At Long Last, Hobby Master

Its been quite awhile since we last received a shipment of Hobby Master products and with good reason: the COVID-19 pandemic created a logjam for several months running that affected a number of successive Hobby Master shipments. This logjam created a ripple effect for the balance of 2020, delaying the arrival of other new products heretofore not received by at least two months.

In any event, no need to despair because there is some good news to report: a new Hobby Master shipment is en route to us and expected to land at our facility early next week. Here now the rundown of new products we anticipate receiving:
