F J Soar; Model stockist in Mablethorpe
Discovered this place today, although didn't venture inside but will do so soon. A range of Airfix and Revell kits are in the window so it bodes well for what lies inside.

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Re: F J Soar; Model stockist in Mablethorpe
I popped in when I was on holiday there earlier this year. Not a huge range but some lovely old builds hanging from the ceiling that look like they've been there for many years. A good range of art supplies as well. I brought a Revell Dambuster Lancaster - didn't need one (several in the stash) but just like to feel I'm doing my bit to keep shops like this open.
Just watch out for the opening times Jim - third attempt before I managed to get in - they don't always stay open until the advertised closing time at the weekend!

I've just booked a week in a caravan in Mablethorpe from 2nd October (2020) so hopefully will find this shop still open and prepared to accept some model tokens from me!

Is that your caravan ? For convenient transport of purchases ?

It's my model and I'll do what I want with it.

We called just after lockdown finished, so still going at that pointbeany wrote:I've just booked a week in a caravan in Mablethorpe from 2nd October (2020) so hopefully will find this shop still open and prepared to accept some model tokens from me!
I met the owner (a quite wonderful lady of later years) and her daughter (ex RAF) who remembers her father and brother making most of the models still hanging from the ceiling.
Let me know when you are going and I'll see if I can get into Mabo and meet you

Really good to meet up today Al, and have a good natter!! I suspect that today may have been one of F J Soar's better days for takings of late
