Jimbo's papermodelworld

Hi has anyone bought from Jimbo's papermodelworld ? The actual site seems pretty limited. Are the models shipped well and fast? Are they legal? His prices seem really reasonable. I can not see where his shipping charges are applied. I just want to check it out before committing to order.
Thanks for any opinions.

I haven't ordered from him in years, but I had good service back in the days I did. His site was one of the few places to find ABC models in the US. Everything I bought from him was original material. Some of the ABC models were cut pages from the magazine, so the occasional photocopied instruction diagram accompanied the model. All in all, I was happy with the service. But as I say, I haven't bought anything in years and I think he's stopped carrying new items and updating the selections.

Thanks for the help. I noticed he had the Renova Kraz for less than half the price that I got it for from the official Renova site. That is what made me post the questions.

I have purchased from him as well - no issues. Fast delivery, well packaged.

I purchased a few kits from him. paid with pay-pal and then recieved a note from him that he was in the Mid-East (Dubai I think) and shipping would be huge. He gave me a refund... FWIW.

Just got a note from Jimbo saying that he'll be traveling back to the US in May (not sure for how long) but could ship for far cheaper when he got here. If anyone's interested in a purchase, might want to look into it for receipt in May.
