 I was in Fort Lauderdale a few years ago, and went to rc hobbies, Tamarac.  It was a very good shop with quite a few model boat bits n kits. I have a plastic kit from them and the website is www.rchobbies.net . They used to be on the corner of University & McNab. That was in 1997. It is a bit of a trek from Miami but was worth it........Smudge

A bit late posting this reply but there wasn't really much to say.
I guess that most people who muck about with boats in Miami can afford the real thing, didn't see anything much model boat related. One of the malls we went to had diecast and plastic, but not much of interest to me.
There was a definite absence of hobby magazines as well, but maybe I looked in the wrong places.
Which leads me to another USA related question..........having read the article "Pratt's Landing" in the August MMI (the bits that weren't messed up by the type setter) I went on to John Fryant's web site "www.modelplans.steamboats.org" there's some great stuff on there if you like old steamboats. Anyway I digress, although he accepts orders from the UK he states that "overseas checks or money orders must be in funds drawn on US banks".
My local Barclays say they only do an International money order at a cost of £10, as the plan I am considering ordering only comes to $25 with shipping even the bank teller though it was a bit excessive.
How do the rest of the forum get round this when ordering abroad.........or am I just being a bit Yorkshire? ::)

Why not just post a few dollar bills?
