This place is such a treasure in the valley. Incredible shopping experience for models, crafts and hobbies. Helpful staff and so much variety you can spend hours just choosing what you want to build.

While I haven't lived in the Valley for a long time now, when I go to the hobby shops that are near by where I live they have absolutely nothing compared to Smith Brothers in terms of paints, selection, advice and knowledge. Truly one of the best hobby shops out there. Greetings from Lawrence, KS (Yes, I was feeling nostalgic today)

Great hobby store with knowledgeable employees. They have some gas powered rc car parts but they mostly specialize in electrical ones. It's sad that most hobby shops have closed down and you can't go in and talk with experts but now you have to search on Amazon to fix or upgrade something.

I'm the kind of guy who goes to Japan to buy model kits. This store is the best I've seen in America. They have a lot of kits and books on consignment so you get a huge selection of rare treats. They also have new releases. Also, in the American hobby stores the staff tend to be very rude and condescending to customers-- not here! Very friendly, genuine staff. Prices were very good on the things I bought. Good job Smith Brothers, I wish you many years of business.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
