We have a toy store in my small town of about
6000. They carry models and are willing to special
order items. They have glue for sale, but I recall
glue being restricted for adult purchase only for
many years now. And prices for both have gone up a
mite since the 1950s.
Try your local
Michaels craft store. Last time there I saw a
section with models. Also look up a local
hobby/train shop, the one near me also has
models.

We have your snow
right now. 4 to 7 inches supposed to come
down. Crazy April
I went to the local
Super Wal-Mart to pick up a model car for my
grandson, who just turned ten, as I thought it
would be a good way to turn hm onto the Mopar
car culture that grandpa has always enjoyed.
Building model cars/ tanks/ airplanes/ etc was
a part of my youth and a good way to find how
things go together.
Wal-Mart no longer
caries models. said they did away with them
because "kids sniffed the glue". Makes about
as much sense as doing away with guns because
someone with mental issues uses them
inappropriately. Treat the problem by doing
away with a related ancillary item... Where
are the parents?
Regardless, I found
this to be a great surprise, and now I am
going on a search for Mopar models. Actually
have a couple, but wanted the "easy" starter
kits, and didn't plan on going on-line to find
them. Guess another sign that I am indeed a
dinosaur...
PS: Just got
another inch+ of snow tonight. Will it never
end????? Where is the "global warming" I was
promised???
