One for the closet geeks here. Where in Brighton (or West/ maybe the western side of East Sussex) can one find a shop that sells Airfix or Revell models, like aircraft or warships, that kind of thing. The ones you glue together & paint. If that's your bag.

There used to be a Modelzone on West St/Cranbourne St in Brighton but I think the company folded. I can't see Toys R Us having much of a range- or am I wrong?

Anyone assist with knowledge of a local shop that has a decent range of this sort of thing?

Try Hobbycraft in County Oak Retail Park in Crawley,I was in there just before Christmas and they had a fair range of Airfix,Revel and Tamiya models.

And I need it sharpish, hence eBay isn't an option on this occasion & I'm looking for an actual shop.

The Hobbycraft website looks promising, I might dash up there tomorrow morning. Thanks, beautiful NSCers :thumbsup:

Hobbycraft in ferring (near Haskins) has them too

Is that the same (chain) as the one in Crawley? Ferring is just past Worthing, right?

Bloody annoying, I was down that way only a couple of days ago. If I'd thought then...

Thanks Greens :(
A second shout for the one near the railway bridge on Sackville Road in Hove. Floor to ceiling in kits :)

Btw there is an old saying...

Modellers make better lovers :love:

Gardener and Scardifield who are builders merchants in Lancing have a huge amount of Arfix kits for sale if that helps

Lsamodels in sackville road.
I'd say go there.
For a start, it is absolutely packed with stock, and more importantly, it's not just another chain superstore, but a good old fashioned shop of old, that will truly benefit from your custom.

There used to be a model shop in Buggs Hole, at the top end of Junction Road near the Station. Mid Sussex Models. Not sure if still there though! They used to sell Hornby, Scalextrix and Airfix stuff.
