The acquisition of GreatModels Webstore (GMW) was formally completed this morning.

First, it is our pleasure to welcome the GreatModels customers.  GMW, and its owner Loic Anthian, was the trailblazer in establishing  the online hobby shopping experience.  After over 14 years of creating and updating his “baby”, owner Loic has decided to pursue other interests (plus take a well-deserved break) and has asked us to “take the baton” from him and continue to serve and take care of his customers as we have taken care of our own.  We salute Loic and GMW as an era ends while a new one begins with the combined GMW and SBM.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at sales@spruebrothers.com.  As with any change, there can be a learning curve as to how things work on our website versus how it was done at GMW.  We would invite anyone not familiar with how our site works and how we do things to view these pages as these help pages have the answers to the most common questions we typically receive:

How to Go Back to the Search Results 

The physical move of over 200,000 inventory items plus fixtures begins on Monday April 30 and should be completed before the end of May.  During this transition, our normal restock ordering will be temporarily impacted (you will likely see slower restock time for 2 to 3 weeks while we work on the move and initial integration the GMW inventory).  Any items available at GMW will become available at SBM eventually (we will try to do so as soon as possible).  However a transition of this size will take some time.  Your patience is appreciated.

One last item which has been a common question we have received – what will happen to the GMW website?  Assuming it is technically feasible, our intent is to leave the GMW website up as a reference resource.  Its vast database is an invaluable resource for us modelers (I am primarily an 1:48 and 1:32 jet aircraft modeler).  There may be a facelift eventually done, but the heart of it (the database) should remain intact.  Again, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at sales@spruebrothers.com.

Happy Modeling!
