Model shops sell products and materials for building, collecting and operating scale models and related hobbies. Stock may include plastic kits of aircraft, cars, ships, trains and buildings, as well as model railway locomotives, rolling stock, track and scenery. Shops may also carry die-cast vehicles, collectible figures, miniature wargaming models and ready-made display models, with the range varying between retailers. Customers can typically expect paints, brushes, adhesives, tools, spare parts and detailing materials for assembling or modifying models. Some shops supply radio-controlled cars, aircraft or boats, along with batteries, chargers and replacement components. Staff may offer practical guidance on choosing kits and materials, and some retailers provide services such as repairs, model-building advice, demonstrations or clubs and events. Many shops cater to beginners as well as experienced hobbyists, with products available at different levels of complexity.
