Skyway Models
12615 Renton Ave S
Seattle WA 98178
Phone 206 772 1211

Only Models and modeling supplies. They have older and new kits. Yesterday I bought a Takom M 103A2 and the old Monogram 1/32 F3F biplane. Largest model shop I have been in in 30 years.
Prices are near MSRP but that means no shipping, and they stay in business. Worth the trip.



Yes, there is more than just these 2 isles. You will be there awhile.

Plus 1 on Skywaves -
On a trip to the Pacific Northwest a few years back I accidentally discovered this shop . Fortunate accident indeed . LOTS of old and rare kits - largely aircraft IIRC . Love a shop with kits piled floor to ceiling and they are few and far between these days .

Two locations.

I visited here last spring.
Great 1/35 (man scale) selection.

War game store.
Haven’t been here in years but they had a great selection of quality paint.

I know, it’s a Hobby Town, but this one is really good and has been owned by the same couple for a bunch of years. They have a large plastic kit aisle and all the supplies you could need. Highly recommended.

HobbyTown in Vegas was a good hobby shop. A lot of static plastic and supplies. It’s closed down now

Visalia Hobbies in Visalia, California has static plastic and supplies.

THE HOBBY PLACE AT ACE HARDWARE
7071 E 22nd St
Tucson, AZ 85710

Probably the best hobby shop in all of Tucson, AZ. Largest stock of static scale models from all the major manufacturers; Tamiya, Dragon, Takom, Bronco, MiniArt, MasterBox, Fujimi, Hasegawa, Bandai, Meng, Ryefield, ICM, Trumpeter and more; plus a large assortment of RC cars, model trains, Legos; paints, diorama supplies, etc…

Irate this shop a solid 5 stars on selection, prices and the staff is very knowledgeable.

If you’re in Tucson, AZ, I strongly suggest giving these folks a visit.
