Default Skymaster F104 Question

I was looking at purchasing a 1/5 Scale Skymaster F104 and went to BVM website first and their price is 3595.00 for the painted kit and 2095.00 for the gear when purchasing together.
Skymaster direct charges 2995.00 for the painted kit and 1995.00 for the gear installed.

Anyone know why the price difference?? It's the same kit no??

Well I got the answer about the price difference. Skymaster wants 1100.00 for shipping. Still cheaper to pay BVM price unless they are gonna charge 500 for shipping. Then it comes out the same

Skymaster recently lowered the price, chances are BVM will as well and the website is just not up to date. The shipping cost will likely be the same whether it's from BVM or Skymaster direct. BVM will dropship it direct from Skymaster so, there's no difference.

Actually Skymaster said the best place to buy is through Chief Aircraft cause they have their own containers coming from Taiwan and you can save hundreds on shipping. Chief Aircrafts Price was 3295 for the kit. Maybe they will match Skymaster..
