I’ll be in the San Francisco and San Mateo area next week for a business trip, can you guys recommend hobby stores in that region that has a good collection of airplane models (I’m into modern jets)?

Thanks in advance.

San Antonio Hobbies near the corner of El Camino Real and San Antonio Road.
It’s on the border of Mountain View and Palo Alto…About 10-15 minutes South of
San Mateo. It’s one of the largest hobby shops in the country and has just about
everything you could want.

Another great one if you can go a little farther south (San Jose area) is,
D & J HOBBY & CRAFTS
96 S SAN TOMAS AQUINO ROAD, CAMPBELL, CA 95008

IMHO, as good as San Antonio Hobbies.

I moved to Colorado from San Jose about 18 months ago and, I actually prefer
D & J Hobbies over San Antonio Hobbies. I recommended SA because it’s closer to
SF and San Mateo though both are amongst the best hobby shops I’ve ever set foot in.
