CyNaKyL Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Hi Everyone, Just wanting to know if there are any decent hobby shops in or around Anaheim, Los Angeles as I am going there in a couple of months for a holiday. Hopefully ones that stock a decent amount of Eduard stuff and lots of aircraft kits. Thanks in advance. - Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cyrus Tan Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 There's Brookhurst Hobbies in Garden Grove (10-15 min. drive from Anaheim). This is the largest hobby shop in the area. They also have a large selection of kits, resin aftermarket, books, tools, paint & decals. Definitely worth a visit. Link Military Hobbies in Orange (10 min. from Anaheim) Mostly kits, decals, tools and books. Not much resin. Link Military Shop in Long Beach (20-25 min. from Anaheim) Not a big selection of kits, but most after market resin PE, paint tools and books. There is quite a collection of award winners on display there. No website unfortunately. HTH? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brrokhurst looks like the place to go from what I've found too so looks like the missus will have to find something else to do while I spend hundreds and hundreds buying kits and AM stuff from there. Looks like I might need to take an extra suitcase or two... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cyrus Tan Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) the missus will have to find something else to do while I spend hundreds and hundreds buying kits and AM stuff from there. She can always go to downtown Disney. It's free to get in and there are different types of shops and restaraunts including the Disney store. She can easily get lost in that store. They have tons of Disney merchandise to look at. ;) Btw, there is a flight simulator in Anaheim that you might be interested in. Here's the link Edited July 22, 2011 by Cyrus Tan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Netz Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Coast Airbrush is close to Brookhurst, an interesting place if you need anything air or paint related. Don't pass up the Military shop, it might be small but you could easily spend an hour in there. Curt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CyNaKyL Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Thanks Mike, I'll have to adjust my plans a little to fit them in on a weekend but that's not a biggy. Thanks for the heads up! - Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 MAKE SURE you make the time to get to The Military Shop. IIRC, he's open 11AM to 6PM on Saturdays and Noon to 5PM on Sunday. Actually, make sure you get to Brookhurst Hobbies and Military Hobbies, too. :) I make it a point to try to get to The Military Shop each week. I probably get to Brookhurst once a month and Military Hobbies a couple/few times a year... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
