It appears to be hobby-space.com on another URL.... All the same product lines, They even use the same annoying colour scheme in their product descriptions. Its also copy-righted to them at the bottom.
One weird thing is that I cannot use the log-in that I use on the main hobby space page. Also their product descriptions don't match; look at the product name at the top and compare it to the one in the item description. It just seems like a really sketchy website.
IMHO, try the real hobby-space.com before choosing this retailer. I have made purchases from there with no problem what-so-ever.

I ask because there is no shipping charge, which would save me $46.

If you're buying enough stuff that you're looking at shipping totals of $46, consider using Sprue Brothers or Squadron, which both offer free shipping on large orders... and they're KNOWN quality vendors.

There is a $100 price difference.

Matt, 90% of my online ordering is with Sprue Brothers. Outstanding real time inventory, 24 hour turn around time, and excellent customer Service. The Squadron Shop is a mere shell of what it once was. 4-5 days turn around time, and higher prices then SB.

I have purchased items from both of those stores. I am confident that business with Hobby-Space will go smoothly.
