Hi,
I have been away for quite a while and I will have to do a lot of catching up.
But first I have to ask something the Turkish guys that frequent this forum.
I am going to Istanbul next weekend and I would very much appreciate it if someone could tell me the address of a good scale model shop there.
Thanks for your feedback in advance.
Cheers!

And while in Istanbul, don't forget the rest.

There is a lot to see there, ranging from the Topkapi and Aya Sophia to the yerebatan cysterns and the archeological museum.

I have had the pleasure to spend a week there 9 years ago

I can definately recommend a trip to Istanbul to everyone. You won't regret it!

Hi Nikola. I recieved the information from Master Engin taht you were willing to visit my Hometown. I volunteered to give you a show around as far as my time is suitable(which is Sunday, I am sorry most of the model shops are closed that day but Museums are open). If you are intrested send me a PM...

By the way don't forget the Naval and the Army museums. Oh of course the Aviation Museum too....

Have a nice stay....

Add on: I can Usher you to some model shops on Saturday too which I myself will probably visit.
