Local Model Shop - Model Spot in Hinckley, situated on the edge of Hinckley town centre at the entrance to the town bus station. Friendly, helpful service in the shop, plus a good website. Working in the shop you will find Justin Odell who is the former UK Club-20 National Champion and has represented the UK internationally. There is little he does not know about R/C flying!  Web site  http://www.modelspot.com/index.asp
