Gashead Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Just before Christmas, I was in Chester with the wife Christmas shopping and noticed a model shop. This was about 9.30 am and it was closed. At about 10 it opened and I went in and it was obvious it was newly kitted out but I couldn't see any RC kit. I asked the guy and he said he was going to stock stuff. My question is, has anyone been to or know this shop cos I can't find anything on the net regarding it and does it in fact stock RC bits and pieces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris1992rug Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I was in there other day and couldn't see any real rc gear just the kids stuff . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louder Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 No they don't I have spoken to him about it but from what I can see the shop is struggling. He mainly does wargaming stuff and a new wargaming store just opened in Vicars Cross and is cheaper than him for some stuff and they have parking. Not sure how long he will last. There used to be another model shop by the new Aldi in Chester but again, not enough interest. I tend to find in the North West there just isn't that much interest in RC when compared with further up North and down South! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny boy Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I was in there a couple of weeks ago. As said before its the old modelzone shop. I think there was 3 Tamiya kits in there when I went in but the prices were SUPER expensive (I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimbobIII Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Where do you guys around Chester buy stuff? Frodsham? Just wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gashead Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 To be honest it seems the only way to go is online unless you live near Modelsport or Wheelspin. These little shops are just struggling cos they are not big enough. I know it sounds stupid but the big ones carry loads of stock and spares whereas you go into a little one and you bet your life they havnt got what you want plus the big ones do online mail order too. I live in North Wales and there is absolutely sweet f.a here and it seems no interest in RC either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimbobIII Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 The online shops have limited stocks too. Wanted some Proline 6063-01 shocks and conversion kit but MS don't have them at the minute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
