If you like choice then try Hannants at Oulton Broad. It's their mail order location/warehouse but totally open to the public for browsing and sales. Awesome. Don't take money or credit card, though, as there's too much temptation.

If Hannants don't have it, it's either sold out or doesn't exist...............pretty much.

Not really, there is an office/packing frontage (where you'll need to sign in/out) and then through doors at the back is a warehouse, inside there are about a dozen aisles of racking with models stacked high enough you'll need the steps to reach the highest stacks, ........ there are shopping trolleys if you get carried away choosing!

Haven't been up there for a few years since I took my RC car up to use the tarmac circuit, it was/ is however a fantastic shop, had all the bits I needed to rebuild the car when I broke it frown

Then do it smile

It's a lovely part of the World around these parts, a little flat, but there are also a lot of small old WWII bases which have museums and the like. If you do decide to come over this way please PM me and I'll happily let you know what's about. There are some good camping sites about as well.
