OT: Model Airplanes

[512taylor]

With my renewed interest in World War 2 history, I would like to purchase model kits and relive my childhood hobby.

Where do you suggest I purchase some reasonably priced kits?

Hobby Lobby or Amazon

Balsa wood or plastic? Hobby Lobby or amazon will have them. I got a supermarine spitfire and p51 mustang a few years ago for nostalgia that were made of plastic, but as a kid, I did balsa wood.I think I bought one from either place I mentioned

If you want balsa models, go with Guillows. (https://www.guillow.com/modelkits.aspx)

I've made several of their kits and they're very satisfying.

Hobby Lobby has a ton. Also have all the paint and glue you need.

If you leave in the Jackson area, there is also a store in the Dogwood mall area called Hobbytown

If you get models from Hobby Lobby, use their 40% coupon. I’ve been buying them for my oldest son... ok, maybe for me too. They’re typically $25-$35 so that’s a $10 coupon.

eBay is good too.

If you ever get up to Memphis, Mid-South Hobbies has a massive selection
