Hi,

You can go to Mongkok (Kowloon). There are lots of model shops. You can take MTR to Mongkok station and go to exit E, but i am not sure about the street names.

Good luck

if you wander around the streets (centred around Dundas Street) around kwong wah hospital (it's the biggest thing signposted in the area and the easiest thing to ask for) you will come across lots of small model car and r/c car shops.
If you see goldfish and/or trainers/sneakers; you'll be in the right area.

Chain store: UML

do a search in the car modelling forum for "hong kong" and you'll bring up more info.

hi there, I was actually in hongkong a few weeks back. For tamiya and hasegawa car kits, UML is definitely the place to go. Their fujimi kit tends to be a little pricey (around HKD110-180) but they do have a good collection. There is a good store inside the Yan Onbuilding along kwong wah street as well.

Hello
Welcome to Hong Kong.
Actually where you are staying is very close to those hobby shops.
You can refer to the link below:

Looking in the map and you can find Langham hotel is near the MK station and you can refer those annotation and most of the shops are near where you are staying.

Hope you enjoy your stay in HK!!
