Model car kits?

[kayl84]

I’m looking for a model car kit that you actually paint yourself. My boyfriend has one that’s older and would really like one for Christmas. Like older ford trucks, 60’s-70’s cars as well. He has the paint, probably needs glue (because he used my eyelash glue last night). I tried Amazon but I’m not finding anything really there.

I’m in the Binghamton area in NY, but will be going to Jersey for doctors appointments next week on the 20th. Any recommendations or ideas for websites that are reputable would be ideal. Cost isn’t an issue because we are doing 2 big gifts and filling each others stockings. TIA!!

Craft stores like Michaels usually carry them.

Do you have a local model shop? Eta: sometimes they’re called hobby shops.

I mean Hobby Lobby is down in Jersey. I’m gonna try google one more time to see if it comes up with anything remotely what I’m looking for.

There are usually mom and pop type places that specialize in model kits (trains, cars, airplanes). I googled Binghamton Model Shop and it looks like there are a few. Michaels/Hobby Lobby might have them to, but a model shop might have a better selection or be able to order you something.
