Message: You have a point, Chris. The UK has some great sources for models. Some years ago, my wife and I were in England and it was in a little shop on a side street not far from Canterbury Cathedral that I saw an incredible display of 1/43rd scale models. She gave me 10 minutes to shop in that little store while she waited outside. When I think back over that 10 minutes, I'm reminded of that car rental company ad where the guy says, "Choose any car? You can't be serious!" Does anybody remember what the name of that little store might have been?
