Revell1/72 U Boat
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, March 28, 2004 11:06 AM
Hi everyone, my partner and I are coming to New York Friday 9th April and Nick my partner is a U Boat nut we have difficulty in the UK getting much in the way of upgrades for the kit and were wondering two things
Where are the good model shops in New York?
And id there anything available for the U Boat out in the US that Nick can purchase preferably on day 1 or 2 as he is NOT spending a whole seven days taking in the sights of every model shop in NYC!!!!!!!( Much as I love him! I wannna go shopping!
Thanks everyone
Kathy in the UK.

Hi Kathy,

At present, there's not much available for the 1/72 U-boat that doesn't already come out of the UK or EU.

Nautilus Models is supposed to be releasing some conversion sets for this kit, but there's no timeframe yet that I'm aware of.

Sadly, there's not much in NYC anymore either...there Jan's Hobbys uptown, but it's *ahem* pricey to say the least.

Your best bets for hobby shops will be the following...

Hobby Heaven in Cranford, NJ
Avenel Hobbies in Avenel, NJ
Ridgefield Hobbies in Ridgefield Park, NJ

These are all within 45 minutes to an hour from Manhattan.

Drop me an email, I work just outside the city at the NJ Aviation Hall of Fame and Museum, I can point you in the right direction once you're stateside.

PS: Tell Nick to look at my Amati 1/72 Type VII conversion on Modelwarships.com, in the Features Section.
