Rodney Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I'm heading to Adelaide, Australia for a week for work. Are there any suggested hobby stores I should try and make it to. Especially interested in aftermarket accessories. Thank you, Rodney Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy Snap Captain Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Hey Rodney, The only one that I've been to in Adelaide is Hobby Habit (Website). I went there and they were pretty pricey. Not much in the way of aftermarket for plastic a/c kits. Awesome place for RC hobbyists. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trojan Thunder Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) South Australian Hobbies ...and the best but no formalised shop front with any-person access, so you need to ring first. Craig Chidley's Aeroworks I thought Craig now did have a shop front down in Colonel light Gardens, he has an add in ModelArt magazine regularly. I visited him years ago at his place in Pooraka but since then has opened the above shop. There is also another shop in Richmond (again southern suburbs), he deals mainly with new and second hand kits. The shop name is Model World and the address is: 5, 4 Deacon Ave Richmond, SA, 5033 Edited May 1, 2014 by Trojan Thunder Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rodney Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 Thank you all. Just made it in and hope to have time next Fri and/or Sat to visit these. Rodney Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spellbinder99 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Hope you have a good time here in Adelaide, Rodney. As mentioned, Craig Chidleys' Aeroworks at Colonel Light Gardens is probably the best specialist aircraft kit seller in the state. He is open all day Friday (9-5) and 9 till 1 on Saturday. Hobby Habit has two shops, a smaller one on Main North Road just past Gepps Cross and a much larger one at Daws Road, Melrose Park. Complete Hobbies is also right on Main North Road at Brahma Lodge, they are mostly RC but have quite a well stocked aisle of plastic kits. John at Model World is a wonderful old gentleman who deals in second hand kits at VERY good prices plus a range of newer stock stuff. Highly recommend him. Military Hobbies on Port Road near the intersection with South Road is only 5 minutes out of the city and has a good range of books and kits. Prices are pretty reasonable. The Saturday morning hobby shop circuit in Adelaide basically consists of Military Hobbies - Model World - The larger Hobby Habit at Daws Road - Aeroworks. That will get you to the better shops with almost zero backtracking and with a chance to see them all. Forget SA Hobby Centre, waste of time. If you want, we could hook up and I could take you on the tour. Where are you staying? Cheers Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
