Hobby Shops?

Last December my local shop had a fire that destroyed the interior but did not damage the building beyond repair. This was just a few months after I had rejoined the modeling community so I was completely bummed. The good news is that the rebuilding has been proceeding and it will reopen by December.

I've got enough kits to get me through the next few GB's but I am really looking forward to not having to order paint, glue and other tools online. While he didn't carry a lot of aircraft, being primarily a train shop, he can order stuff and I'm glad to have a place to have quick access to supplies. I know that years ago there was a local club that meet there; maybe I can recruit some new aircraft peeps to WW2AC.
 
Don't forget to mention that we've got our own Wildcat aficionado and expert in Terry, what he doesn't know about this glorious machine, isn't worth knowing....

there was another solid model kit these had really rough fir wood. Took for ever to sand down, bu they had nice cast metal detail parts. Anyone rember these? Also built a lot of Strombecker solid modeled. Nice plastic details.
 
My local hobby store is now accepting orders and pickup. There is some paint, glue and other tools available. Here is my first purchase.

Now before your collective minds explode, this box art has special significance to me. Several years ago, I commissioned artwork for a friend of mine who owns a 57 fuelie that looks just like this. The artist later told me that image was seen by an exec at Revell and led to him doing artwork for them. So this is "sorta" mine.
