I’m looking forward to checking out this new GW hobby center and spending an afternoon in lovely Northern Virginia. More hobby centers are not only good for GW, they are good for the hobby and us hobbyists. If you have questions regarding assembling or converting any of your vehicle models and can make it to this new hobby center on April 19, I’ll be there to assist with that or any other hobby questions that might be directed my way. Please visit the GW US website for a list of several new GW US Hobby Centers about to open.
