I'm heading down to Buffalo New York this coming weekend and I was wondering if there were any good hobby stores that would have armour kits, pe and resin goodies.

Any suggestions would be happily received.

Matt,

Thanks!! How are the prices at the stores? I remember going to a hobby store in Buffalo that had a huge indoor RC track. Is that Fields Hobby?

Don't recall off hand.......... Niagara Is OK on prices........... The model selection has gone down since the Owner passed.... but still have a good deal of Supplies and kits.

I haven't stopped over to Fields in some time.........

Give Joe (Mother) a chance to reply.................. He Lives in Buffalo...............

Hey Darryl,
Matt pretty much said it all. As for prices, well it all depends. They do have some good deals and while some are a bit higher, something like $7 - $10 buck more. If your into German/WWII stuff then you'll be happy. They (Niagara Hobby) also has a good selection of aircraft kits.

There is another hobby shop around, ACE Hobbies. They are located in Niagara Fall, NY on Buffalo Ave. He has an alright kit selection, but what I like more from there is that they carry alot of aftermarket/resin/PE and decals sheets.

That was Northside Hobbies...they are no longer open, closed like 10 years ago.

I'm going to PM you my phone number, if you need directions getting around the city just call me up and I'll point you where you need to be.
