I am looking for stores selling Scotia Grende products 1/300 modern jets. Maybe in London?
Any luck?

Peterborough is 85 miles from London. That's at least an hour by train and 2 hours by road. |

yea, do you know any stores? |

In London or Peterborough? Or any places in between? Reading your OP again I see you are looking for 1/300 scale modern aircraft. I'm afraid I very much doubt if you will find any B&M shop in the UK that stocks these. Reason being that historical miniatures are a very small market compared to fantasy/SF and consequently there is little business incentive for anyone other than the manufacturer to carry stock. Particularly in this day and age where most miniatures sales are via the Internet or mail order. |

Spirit games stock scotia, whether they have what you want I don't know. Its a trek.. Couple of hours away. It's an alladins cave of wargaming paraphernalia , worth a visit. Not many stores like this left |

Spirit Games is in Burton-on-Trent. Great little shop!
Didn't know they had any Scotia Grendel stuff. As he said, it's a trek:
London to Burton-on-Trent – 125 miles (~3 hours by road)
Peterborough to Burton-on-Trent – 70 miles (~2 hours by road) |

I think you will be lucky to find what you want in a store. Mail order or trying to get to a show are your best bet IMO. |
