Hong Kong Model Shops
« on: October 24, 2018, 10:45:15 pm »

Hi - Have a couple of days in Hong Kong early December and thinking of treating myself to a Christmas Present. Can anybody recommend any Model Shops that have a good selection of boats and if the prices are actually cheaper than in UK. Not sure what I fancy yet but plastic kits to convert to RC or any form of boat kit that is RC compatible. Where to find other items Radios / ESCs etc would be appreciated.

Hi my visit there was 10 years ago so out of date but I would check what time they open.  Had to go back later in the day but I was disappointed.  I have a feeling I had to take the Metro to Kowloon.

regards

There are quite a number of model shops in Mongkok area on the Kowloon Peninsular. ESC and controls are plentiful and inexpensive. I will send you a PM on the shops there, which are within short walking distance.

You can't move for model shops when I was there a few years ago. Open very late and with young customers!
