Well, the shop looks so similar even today. The only change sadly is that all the indigenous kits have been replaced by Chinese airplanes and helis. Even though when I ask them if they have any ARF kit etc, they always say no!. Very few kits are manufactured by IHC today.

Wow!! 1991!! Around the same time my Grandfather got me my first Chuck Glider kit from IHC New Delhi (Opp Plaza Cinema, both IHC and the cinema hall are part of history now).

Nice Pic Manish Sir! Seems you took real care of the pic.....
With most people shopping online, spending time discussing thing with the LHS is becoming a thing of the past! Thankfully few cities still have old timer LHS, preserving the 'Experience'!!

Almost :) But there seems to be hope, if I can trust what I saw at RCBazaar recently !
