Check this site out www.best1hobby.com

They're located in San Gabriel, CA. The majority of their cars are from Aoshima and Fujimi. Tell them Walter from AF sent you and he may give you a discount.

Theres a shop in van nuys too by Burbank and Balboa, it's called hobby people, they moslty have RC cars but a godd selection of tamiya and revell cars. 2 Very good shops!

In Hacienda Heights there's a store called Legends Hobbies. They have a great selection of Japanese model kits of all kinds, not just cars. They also have aircraft, armor and a lot of Gundam kits. They have some military dioramas there that'll blow your mind. I could look at them for hours. Their prices aren't exactly low, but when they have something you want...

There's a place in Montclair called Pegasus Hobbies that decent, but it's right down the street from Upland, so I buy paint there a lot. Their prices run high. Pegasus Hobbies is know for producing a wide selection of wheels and accessories for low-rider models, like gold 100-spoke rims.

You could also try a chain of hobby stores called "Hobby People," (formerly Hobby Shack). They carry the static models, but not a particularly wide selection. I did buy my S2000 from them, though.

Legends and Pegasus stock a lot of Fujimi, Aoshima and Hasegawa. Hobby People mainly stocks Tamiya and Revell.

HTH! BTW, how's your Nismo R33 coming out?
