l wish there was a hobby shop in my area. l would love to shop at one. l visit one in east TN on vacation. He buys collections from time to time and he sold the oop kits for 10 to 15 bucks with tax. Thats cheap. The hobby lobby in our area does a good job and has a large testors paint section but no tamiya paint. l buy what l don't get from them thru ebay and model roundup. Ebay shipping prices is another topic....
