I was having a chat with Mr Mohammed Jalil, owner of Hobby Center yesterday evening. He is a very amicable chap and is a hell of a lot more interestd in his customers than most of his staff ever have been....makes sense right?
Anyway, he was asking about Tamiya stuff, and how to move his old stock. I was giving him some tips on the vintage stuff and eBay dealings. I told him about our Saturday meetings and he seemed very interested in having a look at what we do....and then wanted to know what sort of things we want to see in stock. I am going to try and help him out with parts ordering and inventory, so together we should come up with some common requirements that we want to see in stock, put it in a spreadsheet and forward it to him once in a while.

Something to look forward to now though, ....the new shop is opening up in the Dubai Mall, and he says there is a LARGE tamiya order that is coming in for the opening. On the 1st of Dec is the opening, so keep an eye out then....

While I was in there, I found 8 x 24mm rims (AED50), a mini quick-release battery holder and some other small bits and pieces...that I would have paid a LOT more for on the internet.....so sometimes they have something to offer.....
