    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

    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.

    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.
