- I haven't been to the Squadron Hobby shop, but I live in VA and
- recommend you don't miss Air Land and Sea at 1215 King Street in
- Alexandria, VA. They buy & sell old models, and have a wide selection
- of books. You never know _what_ you'll find there.
-
- And DONT MISS Air & Space. The gift shop is better for books than
- models, unfortunately. If you're a Star Trek fan, first thing you do
- is go early, and get a (free) ticket to the Star Trek exhibit. It's
- pretty good.
-
- BTW, Squadron is at 12351 Georgia Av in Wheaton, MD.
-
- Enjoy your trip. E-mail me if you find anything good....
