Model Forum / General / Models / February 2006Looking for hobby shops in Crawley, UK
I know there is a Beatties there, are there any other, smaller, speciality shops? Let me know, thanks!  Signaturetango2 I build, therefore I am http://modellerarchives.blogspot.com/ Not sure how recently you went there, but Beatties went bust a few years ago. Replaced, in some cases, by "Model Zone", which majors on die-cast items. MH > Not sure how recently you went there, but Beatties went bust a few years > ago.

Back when I used to go there, there were three "proper" model shops: Beatties, Model Aerodrome and a small independent place, plus Gamleys. But that was many years back. Type "Toys & Games" for " Crawley, West Sussex" into www.yell.co.uk for what's there now. But if you're into aircraft, the best bet, if you can make it, is to visit the Gatwick Aviation Society's annual fleamarket at K2 Crawley (wherever that is, it always used to be at Crawley Leisure Centre) on Sunday 23rd April: http://www.gatwickaviationsociety.org.uk/lgw2006.asp Usually a good event, I've found many quality bargains there in the past. Jon. I live in Horsham. The Beatties is no more. There is a Model Zone in County Mall which sells a reasonable number of plastic kits (for a Shopping Mall) - they often have some loss leaders which if they happen to be something you are interested in are fantastic value. Cheers, Nigel >I know there is a Beatties there, are there any other, smaller, speciality >shops? Let me know, thanks! I know its not the same but we are small and specialised - especially in Aircraft and Armour but we are in Suffolk - its worth the call though 01473 464311. We stock most things from Academy through Classic Airframes to Special Hobby with some things you can't get elsewhere such as Montex Vinyl masks. We don't charge for delivery so you could give us a call. David SBX Model Shop http://www,sbxmodelshop.co.uk >I know there is a Beatties there, are there any other, smaller, speciality >shops?
