Well, I went to visit the shop. Color me surprised! This place is Gunpla Heaven! They got everything there, plus other kits, tools, paints, etc. I will definitely return to buy more kits in the near future. Very impressive lineup of models.

The owner and his wife are some of the kindest people I have ever met, spent hours talking about the wonderful hobby of modeling and Gunpla. Fantastic selection and prices! Look forward to visiting again soon!

I love this store. By far the best Gundam store in Tampa bay! They have something for everyone actually orders a lot of kits so he always has the latest and greatest! Brian the owner is awesome! He’s very knowledgeable and is way to good at model painting. Model Citizen Hobby is the best!

Great little privately owned hobby shop!!! Make it a point to come here every time I'm in town. Owner bought shop from Ralph's, and has improved it. Nicely organized nowadays. Has some nice older kits at what I find far less than ebay or other online retailers. Love this place, it's a dying breed. Honestly can't say enough nice things about his store. He caters to lovers of Gundam and other Japanese kits. Cannot say enough good things about this store and the owner!!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Model Citizen Hobbies | Sep 6, 2018

Hello Leslie, We do plan on selling Warhammer and other GWS products later this summer. As for paints, we won’t be carrying Citadel, as we already carry Vallejo, Tamiya, Mr Color and Testors. Our Vallejo Game colors have been very popular for painting miniatures. Please check out our FB page for updates on when we’ll be expecting Warhammer items. Thanks for the inquiry!
