discussion More model shops in unfamiliar places.

I asked you all for some info on model shops in Copenhagen and Malmo a couple of months ago as I was visiting there on business. This time I'm going to Hamburg for a week. Do any of you guys have any solid recommendations of model shops in the Hamburg area? Shops that you may have visited and not googled are preferred.

Thanks in advance.

I followed up on a recommendation today and visited a model shop in downtown Hamburg called Modellbau Rettkowsky. It is old school model shop heaven. Kits stacked floor to ceiling from all the usual suspects of cars, planes, ships and armour etc. Paints and other tools and accessories as well as some limited detailing bits and bobs. It was close to closing time so I didn't get a great look around but I will be back and I recommend it to you all.

The address is 2 Paulinenplatz, 20359 Hamburg. A block or two north of the east end of Reeperbahn. S-bahn - Reeperbahn; U-bahn Feldstrasse or St. Pauli.

And I bought a 1/48 Hasegawa Phantom FGR2 with 74 sqn Tiger markings.

That does sound like a superb model shop.
