Don't bother going to Peterborough Hobbycraft - the manager clearly hasn't ever heard of the word 'sale'...all they had was ONE Revell 737, with a knackered, open box, for a fiver!  Can't be too interested in making money as there were loads of folks wandering around the model section, looking bemused at the prices...

Well the Reawding Hobbycraft has bugger all in the sale!

[Weaver]

Had a look in the Altrincham Hobbycraft at the weekend: no different, just less sale stock.

BTW, Modelzone are still asking £16.00 for the Vostoks that Hobbycraft are flogging for a fiver....

Every time I hear the word I think of the old CDN company. Love 'em or hate 'em. Love for me

I've been building a few of the old Hobbycraft kits lately and found them surprisingly good actually.  Not sure about their accuracy but they've gone together well enough for me.

A local discount store had them on for $5 back in the early 2000s. Banshees, Clunks, Sabres, Otters, Arrows....bought a pile !

Well, went in the nearest Hobbycraft today: very disappointing. Hardly anything model-related in the sale. It may change as January wears on, of course.
