So here we are, Mrs. Toshi driving me to Hobby Lobby as I am unable to drive myself. Or do we go to Hobby Lobby. We take 271 North and head towards Mentor. What's there? It's a 40 minute drive. Mrs. Toshi told me to chill out. LOL!
We pull into a commons and park right in front of? What's that, a hobby store? Yes, Hobby Town USA! We both literally got excited and went down every aisle. There are a ton of trains and RC products galore. But that was not on my agenda, although it was cool to see such a huge inventory.
We both saved the best for last, MODEL KITS! More importantly, aircraft model kits. Hobby Town USA had a huge inventory of Tamiya, Hasegawa, Airfix, Hobby Boss, Revell, and Revell of Germany Aircraft kits. I went absolutely mad! It was as if the child in me exploded with glee. Right around the corner in the next aisle were the building supplies. Excel seemed to be the majority of supplies there with some Revell products. As for paints? Alclad (I've never seen this before in my life), Model Master, Testors, and Tamiya. Wow, I actually found a hobby shop that carries Tamiya bottle paints and rattle cans.
Well I still needed an interim basis model kit until my Eduard mask for the Stuka build arrived and or my Kitty Hawk P-39 arrived. Mrs. Toshi picked out for me not one but two Revell of Germany kits, I was blown away, she said after looking at all the choices available, the 190 and the mosquito looked like the best kits for me to build. Let me say this much, I was ecstatic! I've never built a Revell of Germany kit in my life so this was something new and exciting. Below are the 2 kits and a couple of supplies Mrs. Toshi thought I needed.
As always, I will do a step by step WIP build of both these kits. Now I need to figure out which one I would assemble first. LOL!
