Steve was a very nice guy! I really enjoyed his shop. I came all the way from Norway and he even had Norwegian airplanes. Thank you for a great shopping experience! And I will definitely come back to the shop read more

If you are into planes or trains, this store is a must see! The owner Steve is a very nice, patient and friendly guy. He is by far one of the nicest shop owners I have ever met in the U.S. He really cares deeply about his customers and wants everyone to be satisfied with what they are buying. He allows you to check the models before taking them home to make sure they are not defective. Compared to eBay or other websites. I find models here to be the cheapest. A model plane will be $120 on eBay but then this place has it for like $46. Forgot to mention that the price you see is the not the price you pay. Steve takes money off and if you pay with cash and save him credit card fees, he will take a few dollars off. Would highly recommend this hobby store. I come here about once a month and I always have an amazing experience! read more

Came to look at model planes here and I was amazed by the selection and great prices. There was a lot of other aviation memorabilia here and the owner was really friendly and cool to talk to. Parking was easy and it is in a good location. It was my first time here and will definitely not be the last. I highly recommend this shop! read more

Steve is such an excellent person extremely friendly and helpful. He has such a wide variety of collection you could almost find everything here! Had to drive an hour to visit his store but it was well worth it! Highly recommended for anyone who is interested in airplane and train models and collections! read more

This place is an absolute honey hole, If you love model aircraft, model railroading, collecting airline and railroad memorabilia this place is a pilgrimage, This place is jammed to the ceiling with items, I haven't seen this many model aircraft for sale, walking in this store is a little bit of a labyrinth, but if you walk single file and slowly you'll get use to it pretty quickly. I spent at least an hour or two just browsing over the merchandise, I spent a good amount of money here, best of all the owner of this establishment is extremely friendly, he even let me one item for free of charge or for less than a buck all because it didn't have a price tag, so bottom line if you are ever in the Chicago area and you like things related to railroads and aviation, make sure you check out this place and prepare to be amazed. read more
