half off sale.

There is a terrific hobby shop just north of Hopkins International.
It's called Hobby Castle and it's located at 4147 Rocky River Dr. This
is a small shop that is packed literally floor to ceiling with model
kits. It is a true old-time Mom & Pop hobby shop of which so few seem
to remain. The store hours were pretty limited the last time I visited
and they may actually not be in business anymore so it's best to give
them a call before heading out that way - (216) 941-4300

Definitely worth a visit!

Best shop in the San Francisco Bay Area is Berkeley Ace Hardware.

The hobby shop in the basement has been there for about fifty years and
is well stocked with kits and equipment. To add to the appeal they have
twice yearly sales. They have a fair supply of "collector's kits" and a
very wide range from Eastern Europe, even some resins. Good sized book
and magazine selecton, too.

That's the frustration with HL,1 full ailse of top to bottom model
kits,but a narrow selection.
