Spare times shop seems to be promising because I see the kit I am looking for in one of the store pictures. I hope it is still there.

I would have love to visit your club on Thursday but 1.5 hours is a little bit too far. It would have been interesting to see how other clubs works. I am the V.P. of a club in the Montreal area www.modelistesrivenord.webs.com

Maybe next time. I come here 3 to 4 times a year for my work.

The Boston area is the best one for modeling in all the regions of the US I have lived. So many clubs and shows in a very short drive. I used to belong to the IPMS Patriot club. It is meeting this week and depending on where you are staying, probably about a 30 minute drive.

Well, if you check out their links, there will be information about local hobby shops, museums and other points of modeling interest.
