Pup7309 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Hi I’ve googled up a few stores but can anyone make a recommendation for a one that sells WNW/CSM or other manus. Or should I just continue to shop online ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Hannants has a brick and mortar shop close to London and Euro maquette has a shop in Paris. Unfortunately it looks like large hobby shops that stay profitable have generally two features in most countries: 1. They also have a good webshop 2. They are located in small cities or very far from the center of main cities because the cost of the square meter is far lower. Such tendencies are logical because of the evolution of the sociological profile of the average modeller. Accordingly it is more and more difficult to find good hobby shops in cities such as London or Paris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeBee Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) Next to the "Gare de Lyon" railway station: http://www.euro-maquette.eu/decouvrez-le-magasin/ They may have the new CSM... + both are available there (75013) : http://www.tonyshop.fr/index.html Edited December 16, 2018 by GeeBee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend told me they moved and only open on appointment. True? In any case, I would never recommend them for anything else than a physical visit. Too many foreigners paid for goods they never received. Personally, the last time I ordered for them, I had to harass them and told them I would go to Paris if required to get the set I ordered! nmayhew and Padraic Conway 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafju Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Don't know since they changed the shop to a new place. You should have to phone before visiting and take their openings hours in account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmayhew Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Hannants in London are now a 25minute walk from the nearest tube station - pretty much inaccessible in my view' they used to be next to Colindale tube but that has all been redeveloped now.

In my own personal experience it is more than a 25 minute walk. More like two hours. There is a whole RAF Museum full of all kinds of beautiful planes between the tube station and the shop. ;-) Radu Pete Roberts, Padraic Conway, Out2gtcha and 4 others 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We found that out this past August in Phoenix! I remember that meal we all walked to on one of the later days............it was already 90F+ out. IIRC, that is where you had your first "Arnold Palmer" (Lemonade + Iced Tea)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
