Hi fellow modellers.

I'm going to Japan for three weeks and I have to find some shops selling/showing models, primarily tanks. My trip is in the end of June and into mid July in the following cities: Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Nagoya.

If any of you know of navy-, airforce- or armymuseums, pleace let me know.

- Johan Søltoft.

JoHan, Hi, its been since like 1989, but there was a really nice Hobby shop right outside Yakota Air Base/Tokyo area. . Like I said its been a few years, LOL, It was stocked full of Tamiya Armor at that time. It may still be there. Good Luck and have fun in Japan. milvehfan

There is a pretty good one in Tachikawa city (tokyo) and 3 or four in Akabuhara (spelling) dont remember the names though. I know they are all pretty close to the train stations. The one in Tachikawa city is less than 2 blocks very close to the mcdonalds there. And as of the last time I was at Yokota the one Mil spoke of is still there. Right out the main gate by the Bx and take a right on the first road.
