BFassassin Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Hello all, Are there any good model shops in New York? My mother is going there next week and I want her to pick up a few bits and pieces for me. I would like to know where they are in the main areas of new york as i dont want to send her to some dodgy part of the city. So if anyone can help me out it would be appreciated. I am looking to get one of these http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/item.php?product-id=74520 and one of these http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/item.php?product-id=74522. P.S if this is in the wrong place can the mods please move to the appropriate place. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks gregg but I was thinking of buying it straight from a shop in New York. I think Ill wait a while and see what they can find when they are in NYC.

Gregg Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 There is a great hobby shop on Long Island, but they don't have the stand and compressor I did a feature on it a few issues ago when I went to the Maryland show with my buddy Ariel from Jersey. Be prepared to bring a lot of cash, you'll spend it all I left $200 shorter, and that was only two bags full I had about $750 more I wanted to spend, but didn't Every time I go out that way, I make sure I stop in. Larry Greenberg turned me on to the place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
