Established in 1975 by its present owner and very quickly became a household name in the world of modelling.
The stock of radio control aircraft, cars and kits must be seen to be believed - the shop is crammed from floor to ceiling with everything imaginable for modelling: kits, ARTFs, ready built, radios, tools, coverings, paints and so much more. ample free parking right outside the shop.

Graham Williams , Ipswich - 19 Mar 2011 - 3/10
This is a busy shop, and it clearly specialises in high-end radio control products. Plenty of choice in these, and a large part of the shop is given over to it. Its not so good for general kits, and what few they had seemed top price. If you want scenics for your models or railways the choice is very limited indeed. There were paints from tamiya and humbrol, but except for the spray cans of humbrol none had a price on it. Looked quite dusty, actually. I dont know how fresh that would be. In the end we drove down to chelmsford and bought from hobby craft, which was a pleasant experience, we were able to get what we needed, and it was no more costly. it's a sad thing when a local hobby shop doesn't really cater for its pocket-money locals, but if its R/C you are after, then they clearly do a great job from what I saw in the shop. Veryhelpful and knowledgable in that respect.

Would definately recommend galaxy if your into R/C cars, the have so many cars in stock and lot's of spares. I had trouble getting my nitro car started and they started it up for me there and then, really chuffed with the service. Saw a nice helicopter while I was there, might have to pay them another visit.

Ed Callaghan , Suffolk - 05 Feb 2011 - 3/10
As a model shop this is superb, wonderful selection of glues for example, but it no longer sells model railways so I question whether it should be on this site. Information obtained on a (wasted) visit on 4 February 2011. They helpfully directed me to scograil.
