## Does 22 listings mean every model and hobby shop in Ohio is included?

No. The 22 listings cluster in Columbus (8), Cincinnati (3) and Dayton (2), with one each in Cleveland, Mason and West Chester Township; others sit outside those six cities, and the list was last updated September 14, 2026. A listing means the shop appears here, not that it was visited or vetted, so verify stock, hours and shipping directly before you buy.
