Model Shop
- Website: www.modelshopleeds.co.uk
- Location: 86-88 Crossgates Road
The model shop in Crossgates is a traditional style model shop, of the type that is rapidly disappearing due to cheap imported stuff bought via the internet killing the trade (Remember Maplins)
They stock servos, motors, motor controllers, construction materials (balsa wood etc), glues, model kits, radio control equipment, R/C planes / helicopters / boats / cars, spare parts, rockets, kites, model engines and their fuels, paints of all kinds, batteries and chargers, modeling tools etc.
It is a place where enthusiasm can result in you spending plenty of cash.
