if you go to boost gear's facebook page and PM them about onemodel products (or anything else they have listed), there is someone on staff (azuma or koju) that will answer back in very good english. if you are serious and are ready to buy, they will invoice you directly using paypal so you don't have to go through that frustrating online order page. but depending on when you catch them (time zone difference) you might only get one response every 24h.

Thanks for that info thumper. They got back to me and said it's all good but asked if I pre-ordered; which I did not. Now waiting for a response.

Damn I need to finish my R34 sometime, it's like 85% done. Still have 1/43 Meri kits Ferrari 640 and 1/43 Tameo March 761 unstarted too, just not enough time for this hobby.

Whats the name of the store at Olympian city? I'm in HK rn

I can't find the address/location of cs models on google.

What store has the biggest selection? I'm a 1/18 guy but just window shopping as I'm backpacking so any size is cool.

Thanks.

But I missed out on getting was because they only had 20 availible for sale and they let people in line buy 3 at a time. So knowing it's Hong Kong. The first 7 people inline after hearing that ofcourse bought all of them. Good thing when I went to watch the Macau GP, they had more stock so I got myself one.


Couple days after landing in HK, I went over to CS Models and Toyzone. Went to check out the 1/18 OneModel DC2 and EG6 and FD2 they had on display.













And these is a new custom DC5r that they had displayed







Here is Tarmac Works EG6 at Daboxtoys





Sadly they didn't had the 1/18 EF civic on display. I am still waiting for mine after paying for one an year ago -__-




This time back I was only able to buy the 1/18 VLT Aston Martin and a bunch of old 1/43 gt500 NSX from toyzone. Finding myself collecting more 1/43 now since 1/18 prices are getting rediculous.

^ This. I was able to hit up all the model shops thanks to Alex's directions last time I was in HK.

They're all fairly close to MTR stations. Make sure you check out the AutoArt store too.

I'm selling my RWB for cheap if anyone is interested, minor damage and not really noticeable if you display it on the left side.

http://www.revscene.net/forums/70912...damage%2A.html

And here's a picture of my non damaged one:

9/10 for build quality because one of mine had the back window pop out, and a canard came off the front (easy fix with crazy glue).
