Where to buy 1:18 ferraris in Hong Kong

Hi guys,

well im out here on business at the moment, looks like i will be in Hong Kong free this weekend!

I have always seen on ebay that the rarer Ferrari 1:!18 models come from Hong Kong, Im thinking F40 LMs, F50 GTs or any modern racing version of Ferraris.


A collegue mentioned 'Dundas Street' in Mong Kok? Does this ring any bells with any of you HK based collectors? Or could you point me in the right direction for special 1:18 shops please? (im staying at New World, Kowloon, so easy access all areas!)

Also... any tips on where to spot some of the good, 1:1s?

Cheers


Mike

 

Shoot SLK99 a pm, he knows his way around..

And yes, Mongkok is the place to be for 1/18s

 

Here are a few:

Thanns Apen & JLF! (I have a few normal F50 so OK thanks!)

And cheers for the map plus tempting picture of F50 GT SLK99!

Whats the chances of me finding a 1:19 F50 GT do you think??

Looking forward to weekend!

Mike

 

SLK99 have some in stock I believe. They are handbuilt sealed resin models done in Japan; so price is quite steep, but quality is superb as you can see from the pic.

 

Oh... i thought SLK99 was collector?

Sorry. i will send a pm.

Mike

 

Yes, I do collect alot models, there are over 1000x 1/18 models, 300x 1/43 resin models, 60+ 1/12 models, 150x 1/24 models

Apegen, why don't you show him the way for models in HK Island side.

 

What F50 GT is amazing. DO you know where I can find one and how much it will cost? I might have some friends visiting HK and perhaps they could pick one up for me if they are available.

 

Well,

I met Michael today, really nice guy, show'd me around some good model shops in Mongkok... must say im tempted to go back for a certain model!!

Anyway, i am now the proud owner of MWS F50 GT, as pictured above! Never knew there were only 30! Very please! I will take photos of it with my collection when back in the UK!


Mike

 

Glad you got what you wanted Mike

 

cool, looking forward to the pic's!

 

Yes i am very very happy with it! Cant believe i finally have a 1:18 F50 GT afte i guess nearly 10years of wanting one!

I also have a very Special MG models F40 LM, in toptip livery (pics in one of my recent threads if you search under my use name, not done many, so easy find!)

Anyway, going to photo them together with some of my other special Ferraris!

Nearly bought a F575 GTC also, but i need to behave for now!

Mike

 

MWS are perfect! I have a yellow 288GTO and F50GT in 1:12.

Nope, not bought it this time!

2. Doubles the hand luggage on Cathay!
