In the air, on the ground and all around: get ready for sky high entertainment! Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 June 2025

I had an amazing experience visiting the store. They were very kind and willing to share all the details on their models and aviation in general. It was definitely worth the trip and I will certainly be back again to get another model.

I always buy some amazing collectors items here. Ronnie is always willing to help and knows about his products in store. I'm a airline crew and its really good to see very rare items as well. I have been visiting regularly to this shop and always buying something. I'm definitely recommending this store to my thousands of colleagues!
