I'm sad to report that King's is due to close as of Dec. 31, 2008.

Word was published in this week's shop newsletter.

Sad to see the end of a local staple. :thumbsup:

I've been going there since I could barely see over the counter, now I'm 42.

Man, that's sad to here. Always liked to stop by there whenever I was in the

Austin area. Always ended up buying stuff from them when they had a vendor

table at ModelFiesta.

What was their reason for closing it down?

:thumbsup:

Just a quick shout-out to distribute the word... Kings has picked up a massive second-hand collection of 1/48th scale aircraft kits.

Full spectrum of stuff from WWI to jets; Testors and Monogram classics to top-flite Japanese manufacturers.

If you're anywhere in the area, or on your way to/from this weekend's Modelfiesta in SA, be sure to drop in!

I just wanted add how amazing this place is. I have had nothing but the best amount of experience dealing with all the staff here. Yesterday I was giddy as a school girl as I picked up two Monogram 1/48 AV-8B’s on consignment for less than $20!
