Has anybody got any suggestions for good model shops in the UK, preferably in the Midlands and that carry a good selection of models and accessories for kits ( like tracks and barrels, photo etched parts ). [:)]
Hi Wolfspider,
not sure about up in the Midlands but there are some good shops that have websites.
Hannats is really good for kits and accessories. The website address is www.hannats.co.uk
Modelzone (which is what Beatties was) normally has a good selection of kits - not sure whether they have a catalogue website kinda thing.
Comet Miniatures does a really good selection of sci-fi models, they also do military kits (as far as I know these don’t get a mention on the website) - they are at www.comet-miniatures.com
Hope this helps
Hannants are great, but they do take about 14 days to post anything to you!

I have had excellent service from TMMR in Whitby. A bit far for you to get to but they are online at

There are also a couple of shops in Manchester with good stock levels
Hope this is useful
I go to E D Models on the Stratford road between Birmingham and Solihull
they have a good selection of kits and aftermarket stuff
they also have special prices on some kits sometimes
If you’re looking online you might want to try www.tahs.com.
It’s my local LHS, well local to work that is, and I’ve been using off and on since I was about 7. Which is quite a long time ago.
If you’re ever in the Heathrow area its a couple of miles from the flying bus station, and well worth a look.

I’d definitely suggest Hannants. Their catalogue is thicker than most phone directories!!! And they have a pretty good online ordering service
Hannants are good they have aload of kit on there web site and deliver in good time
Moorland models in Newcastle under Lyme just up from Zanzibar, opposite about 200 Kebab shops the guy that runs it is caled Richard big builder himself, if he hasn’t got it he will get it for you.Nice guy.
