j-basset Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Hi, I'll be visiting San Diego in early May. Does anyone have any suggestions for hobby shops to visit there (hopefully within the city area)? Thanks in advance. Jason C. F-4DableModels Quote Link to post Share on other sites

j-basset Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Mike, Thanks for the input. I'll be in the Mission Bay area most of the time for a work-related event at the San Diego Convention Centre. Understand that the USS Midway and the aerospace museum at Balboa Park are probably walking distance from the SDCC. At this point, I'm not sure how convenient it will be to venture out from that area. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wayfarer 30 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 The Midway will be right down the road about a mile and a half from the SDCC. Same road i believe. Balboa Park would be a good three mile uphill walk . Public transportation is pretty functional and you could get to the Aerospace Museum a lot easier. You could walk it and it would be an adventure for sure. HTH Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
j-basset Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Thanks, Mike. I would hope to venture out from the Mission Bay area too, but let's see what happens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon053 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 If you can get up to Miramar, the museum there is nice, mostly USMC stuff. My wife is from LA Mesa and so we go down there quite a bit to see her parents and friends and I went there a couple years back and liked it a lot. There is also a museum at the local airport up that way, but haven't made it there yet. Thanks for the tips Mike about the hobby shops, maybe I'll finally get to find some down there.
