Buffalo hobby stores

Does anyone know of any hobby shops around the buffalo area, I plan on going shopping in the states in a couple of weeks for me as well as the wife so if you know of a few good shopping malls that would score points for me.
On a second note does anyone have any comments on the Top flight giant-scale P-47D thunderbolt , towers hobbies has a good price right now considering the exchange rate .

I'd be interested too. Niagara's online shopping is a "work in progress" (ie: zero) and the company names they list they represent don't look like they have anything to do with planes.

I was in at Fields Hobbies last year and it looked pretty good. It is almost right across the streeet from the Walden Galleria which has lots of stores for shopping. Good luck and have fun.

There is a new small hobby shop in Olcott, NY that deals mostly in RC airplanes and helicopters. There is a very large flying field less than a mile from the shop.

Those who have never flown before can fly the shop's electric and fuel helis and trainers and possibly more advanced planes, even if it's just for the experience. Meaning even if you state have no inclination to buy anything at the time.

Next flying season, there is a good chance people will be allowed to fly turbine powered airplanes via buddy-box. Of course only after they receive some flight training on the shop's trainers. For the most part, this will done on the same day.

According to the map, they are about 300 meters apart!

How about Lewiston hobby shops and/or postal outlets?
