    So today I was in the WH Smith in the Arndale Centre in Manchester, when I found a Model Zone hidden in the back! A guy in red Model Zone shirt told they are in 10 WH Smith stores and if they’re successful they’ll expand. So if you live near a big WH Smith, it might be worth your time going in to see if they have one. If not, demand one!

    • I thought they had gone bust , the one i had in ipswich certainly closed a while ago. Not that they ever stocked gundam kits , but certainly good for supplies, and other models.

      • yeah, that’s what I thought, but it seem WH Smith bought them. There is no way I can afford to buy a kit from them but the paints etc are a really good price.

    • Modelzone made a huge mistake moving their flagship store in Holborn to the new Westfield Stratford, which i think was a major factor in their demise. However i quite like the new mini Modelzones in WHsmtihs. I’ve been to Kingston, White City and Birmingham and they were all really good with just the right selection of stock for new and existing modelers. However they now only employ young students who don’t really know much about the craft.
