Back from Hong Kong

[Hiroboy]

Got back on Sunday night, after 5 days of intensive shopping, these are the modelling related bit I bought.
Also picked up a load of toys for the new 350Z like Apexi S-AFC II Apexi RSM. Also a nice deal on an ipod MP3 Player.

Thanks to Joecwlaw for the tips on shops to visit in HK

[blueboost]

I didn't know you had a 350Z, you really do have good taste!

are you going to install the SAFC yourself?

Well I have been to Hong Kong recently and got a few things. I live in the United Kingdom and its a dream going model shopping in Hong Kong. More is available and far far cheaper.

For example Tamiya Rubbing Compound can't be found in the UK. I have tried many model shops all over the UK and with no luck. Over in Hong Kong most model shops in Hong Kong had Rubbing Compound available.

Example on price. A Tamiya Mercedes Benz CLK DTM 2000 cost £22.90 where I live. Over in Hong Kong it costs about £8-9 lol.

So this just shows how much the people in the UK are being ripped off.

I agree the price is cheaper in HK. But people in UK are not ripped off, since the postage cost to UK from Japan/Hong Kong isn't cheap.

e.g. shipping a 1 kg parcel to UK is costing :
by Normal Airmail @ 19pounds
by Surface @ 14pounds

a CLK DTM200 weights about 300-400g so a £13.0 price difference isn't too bad, considering 1kg box contains 2 kits with wrapping and the weight of the container box......

no offense but just a little info to others.
