Hi whenever I go into Chigago I go to Al's Hobbies in Elmhurst. It's great they sell everything for all types of modellers

Venture Hobbies in Wheeling, just north of Chicago. Take I-94 West (It goes North, actually) to Dundee and head west to Huntington Road. It's right there in the crook of an L-shaped strip mall ON the right.

Phone Number is 847-537-8669

Awesome Hobby Shop!

I'll chime in with another recommendation for Venture Hobbies. I don't think you would find a better shop anywhere.

Venture hobbies is the place to go. We tend to take road trips from WI to visit. If you travel a bit north into Milwaukee WI Big Bear Hobbies is also a great place to pick up deals.
