A true plastic model shop is located in Washington state called Skyway hobby shop.They have everything.You name it and they got it.Google it.Tones of aircraft and armor models.All model building tools and paints.(everything).
remeber the days - martins the newsagent used to sell Matchbox kits , Woolworths used to sell airfix and even the local hardare shop at the top of my road used to sell kits , glue and paints . And the 3 toyshops in the town centre, I lived in a small town , all used to sell kits, even some tamiya fujimi that no kids could afford then
crazy prices there- they were good when they first started , used to have a great selection of kits including DML , I sometimes pop in when Im back in england , but its generally overpriced crappy starter kits with 60 year old molds and a few tiny pots of paint , not even enough to basically finish a plane . however its ok to grab a few tins of paint and glue etc . I remember the one in MK sometimes used to have half full racks of paints and other times full up , obviously couldnt plan it well. however its better than having nowhere to get paint…
