- What about the "Aviation Hobby Shop"? I have never visited it as
- I'm not particulary interested in aviation, but I've been told it
- has excellent selection of books and hobby material. I don't remember
- it's adress :) but I can check it and post later. Shopping hours
- are very limited though, perhaps only on saturdays :(.
-
- And don't get surprised by the Tamiya prices ... :(
