Modellbahn Ott Hobbies, Boyertown PA

10/10 hobby shop, the best for literally miles around; they sell stuff for RC cars, Gunpla (even new ones and PGs), model trains, all the modeling tools you could need, and modeling paints from Tamiya, Vallejo, Mr. Color, and a small selection of others like AK or citadel. The ONLY thing I could possibly ask for is that they stock some of the Mr. Hobby aqueous line, but given that they sell Tamiya, it’s not an issue. But seriously, visit this place it’s awesome, so few places in PA sell such a selection of hobby supplies

If you like to build, fly, float, race or just like to feel like Harry Potter shopping for supplies for the first time.this is your store. Depth of inventory, scope of disciplines and supplies. It's a mind boggling place. Always something new to discover, do yourself a favor and if you think you're going to build it, come here first and have a look around.

Live in Minnesota and I have purchased 2 bachmann train sets and a locomotive from these guys via Walmart website. Everything has always arrived quickly and works great. Overland below being my most recent. Will purchase more when I get more cash lol. Maybe a Christmas train for the tree this year

After a 30-year hiatus, I decided to return to scale modeling last year. Most hobby stores have long closed, but realized that this one was still in operation, and is close enough. It's become my go-to for my hobby. If you (like me) remember what a real hobby store looks like, you know the real thing when you see it. This is that place. It doesn't have shelf of model kits, it has a couple aisles, with shelves separated by category (planes/armor, cars, ships/scifi). Also has a large selection of paints, supplies, specialty items, etc. Can't speak to the RR or RC sections, but they appear to be as well stocked as the model section. Prices are a little more than what you would pay online, but I think that it's worth it to see/touch what you're purchasing and compare with other things. Also think that it's worth it to support a store that still operates a brick/mortar in conjunction with online sales. They may not have *absolutely everything* that I need for my hobby, but they surely have most of it. If you're somewhat local, or are passing through the area, and remember what a hobby store was, stop by. Once you enter, that certain hobby store smell will hit you.if you remember what that smell is, you'll get it.

If I could write this review with NO stars I would. I bought what was clearly listed in description and in photographs by them on Amazon, a (4 pack) of Excel 7 inch plastic clamps. I was sent a 2-pack. Sent the vender a message via Amazon that I was shorted. Would you another 2-pack to make it 4 clamps as per the advertised post or shall I send it back for a refund and buy from a different vender. Would you honor the ad? The response was you got what you ordered it is a 2 pack only, send it back for a refund. I have purchased items from this vender via Amazon before, no issues. But, to not honor the ad after I sent it to them as proof, and provide an actual 4 pack meaning 4 clamps is bad business and they shall not have mine.

Use caution here. I paid nearly 500 bucks for a Tamiya Grand Hauler through Amazon from this seller on July 5. I've still not received the item though it allegedly shipped the 12th and was to arrive the 17. THE ONLY TRACKING INFO re a shipment from Pennsylvania to Washington State, is that the carrier picked up the item. I've reported to the seller through Amazon and was assured they (the seller) would remedy with UPS. I received no followup, but because the transaction records a tracking number I'm still awaiting delivery if the original shipment. Then after another contact with seller I was informed by seller that a replacement item would be sent. I have not received the original shipment or the replacement item, nor any further tracking info. UPS claim system reports this item, using the tracking number provided originally, was never received by UPS.
So, could my item still arrive? I suppose, but this whole transaction and process is suspicious and should cause others to shop elsewhere.
I will follow up if the item does finally arrive or whenever Amazon will allow me to begin the refund process. I'm not holding my breath.

So I did finally get a refund, but something was right here.

I purchased a set of Hot Racing 12mm to 17mm wheel adapters from this seller through there 3rd party Wal-Mart store and they NEVER EVER shipped my item or even intended to ship me my items this store is a Complete Fraud online and uses Wal-Mart & Amazon website to Rip off all customers they are Horrible sellers with No respect for the people they are telling lies to Don't try and Buy anything from them especially through their FAFE AND FRAUDULENT Internet store

Why even have a brick and mortar store just have a warehouse the last few times I was there the employees just stare at you like you shouldn’t be there the entire time no customer service what so ever ended up driving to Allentown to the actual Warhammer store to get some help which is sad because back when they were on grosser road I used to play in the basement all the time and the staff was amazing

Worst place to go to they accused me of stealing when i clearly was going to buy a locomotive

Great selection and tons of stuff! I assume it was the owner behind the counter, didnt seem like he wanted to answer questions or help his customers. The girl who rang me up at the register was very helpful and pleasant, but dont disturb the younger guy behind the counter

Nice people. Great selection. A bit pricey but it’s a family owned local shop, so I’m willing to pay a bit of a premium. Hoping they get the Army Painter paint line as it would be nice to have a local shop to find them at. Great selection of models, Warhammer, paints, airplane and model train materials. I saw Citadel, Testor, Tamiya, Vallejo paints and I’m sure there were more that I missed. Looking forward to going back and spending more time in all the aisles.

It’s a very good model shop!

I’ve ordered a few models from them on Amazon and they all arrive on time and in good condition. They have a good N scale train selection and it’s nice to find a place in the US to get some good model trains!

I purchased with several east coast hobby stores from California. I would say this place has the most SKETCHY feeling! 1st off the I item I purchased is no where to be found on there website. 2nd the package they are going to send will have very little to none protection. AMAZON IS GOING TO BE BAD BUSINESS FOR YOU! Never again! I will post a video when it arrives

This company hides behind online sales platforms to defraud customers. I bought products from them on Amazon, they never shipped them and immediately relisted the items I bought at higher prices. They created and entered false shipping/tracking information (multiple orders showed tracking numbers that never moved) so Amazon thought the packages were on the way when in reality they were never shipped. They left my money as a customer tied up in Amazon and waited for Amazon to deal with the refund of my money for shipped items "that never arrived" while they resold the product. Clearly this is a pattern if you read further reviews. This is unethical, predatory on customers and downright dishonest business practice.

Item ordered arrived damaged. Returned for replacement. This item arrived damaged as well. 22 days since they received first order, 11 days since they received the second and no refund issued. Something wrong here.

Awesome store for model airplanes/vehicles, etc. Huge selection of toy trains, rocketry stuff, and other r/c things. My girl scout and I were able to weigh and test our pinewood derby car on their track, and we were able to purchase and install accessories on the spot. Staff was pleasant and very helpful. Fun place, highly reccomend!

My son loves this store! We walk here all the time just to look at the trains. Very kind people.we love where we live

An old style hobby shop, packed to the gills. Organization is haphazard, but careful exploration finds so many neat things. Prices aren't cheap but selection is pretty good and they do ship.
