I am going through my father's belongings and found model kits.

Everything from old Life-Like Hobby kits, 1/72 Airfix soldiers, Verlinden figures, Marx soft plastic figures, Imai 1/12 knights, etc. Most are new in boxes both sealed and opened.

Looking to trade them in at a hobby shop but cannot find any old school hobby shops. It seems they are all Hobby Lobby/Gaming and or card shops. Does anyone know of local places?

Any ideas aside from Ebay and marketplace would be greatly welcomed.

Thanks

Old school hobby shops are scarce these days.

You might try contacting Model Citizen Hobbies in St Pete and see if they can point you in the right direction.

Except for the Verlinden figures, the others you mentioned aren't really worth much.

EDIT: What scale are the Verlinden figures?

If you come across any old flying model airplane kits, I'd be interested in buying them.

Marketplace is probably your best bet.
