I'm in North Buckinghamshire, we had one in Oxford, but they have moved and gone over to Radio Control and railways, so no model kits. We have another that is mainly railway and Hobbycraft in Milton Keynes which is Revell and Tamiya and higher priced than that on the web. So I use ebay for cheaper kits or 'already started' models, mainly cars and bikes. Paints are expensive though as I use spray cans, the shipping is about the same price as the cans are. I have one bonus, that our small hardware store stocks a few Plasti-Kote enamel colours and he can order what ever colours in the range, with delivery within the week, without a shipping cost!
