While I was on vacation in Santa Barbara,I came across Dave’s Hobby Central,a really great mom+pop operation.The store was large,set up great,had a good selection of kits and supplies,and the prices were not bad.The owner Dave is a modeler and knows his stuff !! For all you modelers around Santa Barbara,you got a great thing going on there,and many would die to have a store like that close by.I wished him all the best.
