I loved Hobbies because it had all the American Aurora monster kits...Frankenstein,the Mummy etc., It also had a great Scalextrix track upstairs.
The guy who ran City Models was Gerry ( I don't think that was his real name, he was called that affectionately by his customers 'cos he was German!...very scouse!)...Sadly, I believe he's no longer with us!...He was a great guy and knew his stuff.
I bought my very first airbrush from him when I was 15.
The model shop in Bold street was a different one, that was called "Stan Catchpoles"...He specialised in Flying model aeroplanes.
Ged...Those pics are brilliant mate.
