So I made it to my LHS about an hour away and it changed hands/mgmt nobody from the last 20+ years!and to boot the military model section already small went from 24' down to 12'.I will not be going back needless to say at the cash register I made the comment "the plastic section continues to get smaller" the mgr did not offer a single quip?I know what that means it's going to get smaller and go away.The paints was thinning out also order online or go to New orleans just an extra hour total drive time they are old school and started in 1952

Sucks but seem to be the way things are going, Kev. What I loosely call a hobby shop has half an 8ft section for models and I have more 1:48 aircraft kits than they do

In the MSP metro there are several hobby shops. Michael's and Hobby Lobby are craft stores with meager offerings for military models. Hub Hobby (two locations - northeast metro, southwest metro) carries a larger selection, but the gundam and 40k is crowding the historical plastic out. Scale Model Supply in Saint Paul is a modeller's Mecca with a broad range of new and pre-owned kits. Because they buy collections the inventory is always offering up interesting subjects.

Yeah Geo I have more kits in my collection X 3 maybe 4 for what they had on the shelf and as to what Greg mentioned probably 20'+ and 7' tall jammed.
