Hi there... welcome to AF...

There are a few nice shops around..

> The Orchard Store -- At Specialist Shopping Centre
> Central Hobby Plus -- At CentrePoint
> Tai Seng -- Importer for Tamiya.. great deal
> A small hobby shop at Far East Plaza
> A small hobby shop at Tiong Bahru Shopping Centre
> A small but well stocked hobby shop at the Katong Shopping Centre

Umm... where's the one at Marina Sq?? Can't seem to remember any... or is it a new shop?? I have been in Aust for too long I think..

Any other shops I missed out????

I got them from Tai Sing, or maybe even Popular BookShop

And try getting from Wong too!~

well, to add to the list, there is a newly opened hobby shop in Jurong east IMM. its a branch of the hobby shop in Tiong Bahru Plaza. There's another 1 at Grandlink near Paya Lebar MRT station specialized in cars and bikes. for further details of the location of the shops, you may email me at bibendumz@yahoo.com.

Geez, I was wondering.. where can I get discounted kits,rims and spoiler in Singapore?

( On budget!

)

seems to me that the prices of car kits are quite standard in singapore......costing ard 28.90 for a normal tamiya kit and 30++ for better kits from tamiya,fujimi,revell....etc

Forhod · 10-09-2002, 11:46 AM

I agree, everywhere is almost the same price but sometimes, popular have discount

Still.. where got get spoilers and rims..

Rcaerosport · 10-09-2002, 01:52 PM

For discounts, wait till the major retail outlet has Sales, like Isetan etc. normally, its 20% off, though don't expect an awesome range......

For wheels..looks like you will have to mail-order for Fujimi and Aoshima.

Perhaps the Singapore builders can combine together for a group buy...

Forhod:
There is a shop at Grandlink Square, Paya Lebar selling rims and also the aoshima 3 piece wing set. But it cos rather expensive, i guy at the shop told me the price for the rims are between S$10.90 to S$18.90 if i remembered correctly, and the 3 piece spoiler set i think is around S$20. I just went down last week and they are having a 20% discounts on quite a number of models.
