Finally managed to find a model shop in Birmingham! There's not many out there and this could even be the only one. Very good selection of models and accessories. The staff/shop owner is very nice too.
Planned a trip to the UK and this was one of the first places I visited, in the middle of a Nor'Easter. Well worth it, this place is incredible
Over in the States and given up on finding a Crecy book. Great service and extra effort to despatch the book to me. Will do business in the future. Thanks Dave!
