Al’s Hobbies Reviews 

Brought an rc aircraft from here recently, owner was extremely helpful and friendly, I've not shopped here in a while and had forgotten what a great shop this is, it's so easy to order online and forget what great service you get from local businesses, would definitely recommend

An Aladins cave of RC goodies. Wonderful to walk round the shop. Great service, selection of products.

Will definitely visit again

Cheers

That rare beast, a real, physical model shop with a vast stock, covering most of the modelling bases and all presided over by the ever helpful, ever knowledgeable, ever charming Ali. I've been buying models from Ali for at least 40 years, and wherever he's been working has always been my number one go to model shop. Highly recommended.

Great customer service regarding an pre order
Many thanks for that.

How I rate Al's Hobbies

The response was quick and factual, the reply was in four days, he told me the facts as he saw it, and suggested a couple of ways that I may be able to solve myself.
Much appreciated

Most helpful super guy ,Al Thank you so much for your assistance today Wednesday 24th January 2024 . I will certainly be purchasing my needs from you in the future.

Ordered a Cen Racing Ford Puma online from these guys and it couldn't have gone better. I called also to confirm a couple of things before it was sent out and the guys couldn't have been more helpful in making sure I had the right battery and charger to go with the car. Next day delivery and the also cheapest! Will certainly be using again in the future! Thanks guys.

What a great model shop I couldn’t have received more help excellent service and advice, checked my Spektrum DX6i controller and didn’t charge me I’ve bought from here before and wouldn’t go anywhere else.

A gem in the modelling world, nothing is ever too much trouble for the team at Al's whether you spend a fiver or five hundred. Incredible customer service is the name of the game for them. Many thanks and long may it continue.

Very good service and easy to navigate website with hundreds of models and spares to choose from

Bit of confusion over the order .All sorted now.Al's Model did sort it out very quickly and all is fine now

The team at Als Models were consistent, and kept me informed as they repaired an old DX7s Spektrum Transmitter that I had done my best to kill off.
I've now tested the system, and the Tx has benefited from a general and generous service, within a good time frame and to the quoted price of repair.
Excellent service, I only wish more companies would work to this standard.

A fantastic experience buying for Al’s. People who are incredibly friendly, hugely knowledgable and really helpful. In addition to buying some bits I needed, I probably spent a good hour just chatting with Ali about all manner of things.

Can’t recommend them enough. Please help keep places like this going!

I have just had the rudest man on the planet on the phone I was trying to buy something and I had the phone put down on I am never rude and was not rude disrespectful

A fantastic shop with everything a modeller could dream of, and so reminiscent of the model shops of my youth! Very helpful and knowledgeable staff too. A great place just to look around and loose yourself for a while.

It was our first time visiting Al's hobbies but definitely won't be our last. What an amazing shop and experience, the staff are friendly and very informative will definitely be back soon!

Great model shop nicest staff ever
We will be back for sure

Called in to Als with a problem with one of my models that I had purchased elsewhere, Ali diagnosed the fault and was able to sell me a replacement battery at a very very competitive price, cheers mate lifesaver ....

What a gem of a shop. Popped in yesterday with my son to look at buying him his first RC Plane. They could not have been more helpful. Al took the time to explain all the different types and what we needed to get started. Will have no hesitation in going back for the next one!!
