Grimsby Model Centre

Grimsby Model Centre is a long‑established independent hobby shop on Lord Street offering radio‑controlled cars, model aircraft, boats, plastic kits and a wide range of specialist supplies. The business has traded locally since 1948 and moved to the current premises in 1992.

The compact shop stocks new kits, spares, adhesives, paints, batteries and fuels, plus local expertise from an owner involved in the business since the 1960s. Check the website for current opening times before you visit.

A focused, specialist retail experience for model enthusiasts and hobbyists.

Look out for:

• A wide selection of radio‑controlled cars and parts, plus model aircraft and boats.

• Plastic construction kits and hard‑to‑find accessories (balsa, glues, paints, batteries).

• Decades of local expertise and advice from long‑time staff and the owner.

• A compact shop layout—best for browsing rather than large‑scale displays.

Best way to experience it:

Visit during weekday open hours for quieter browsing, bring a list of part numbers or model details if you need specific spares, and check the shop website or call ahead for up‑to‑date opening times and stock enquiries.
