Hi ya'all,
I need to know the address and location of the hobby shops selling military [B]aircraft, warships and tanks in KL.
Last shop visited in Mid Valley about 2years ago!
Toy City don't carry any Tamiya stocks anymore and the one next to it seem to changed to comics shop already. One Tamiya shops at 1 Utama seems to not carry stocks for my requirement more on RC cars and City Square seems like a ghost complex the last time I been there about 2 weeks ago.
Is there any more hobby shops around dealing with above?
Kind of Appreciated if any of ya'all can help point out to me. Thanks!

Hello TigerShark

There is the Tamiya Underground (by Stargek) at 1-U, at the new wing. Check out for the phone number at www.tamiya.com.Look for the Malaysian distributor address.
The other hobby shop would be Hobby HQ at Fraser Business Park. Let me get u the address later. The link is somewhere here in the forum too.. MH is opening soon, so basically you have got 3 good hobby shops.

Toy City don't carry any Tamiya stocks anymore( Toy City doesn't carry much of anything these days except 'Toys')and the one next to it seem to changed to comics shop already. (That would the old place of Miniture Hobby, they moved out many moons ago and they are still moving) One Tamiya shops at 1 Utama seems to not carry stocks for my requirement more on RC cars ( That is one place a BIG NO! NO! Especially on my list!) and City Square seems like a ghost complex the last time I been there about 2 weeks ago. ( Ghost complex?? Yes sireee...Before it could become haunted, Hobby HQ moved early this year to F&N Business Park, check the forum for its location)Is there any more hobby shops around dealing with above?

Dear Seelianglim & Brutus,
Thank you very much for the new information on the new location. Definitely going to Hobby HQ this weekend, Thank you very much Bros. appreciated!

first of all. welcome to the forum, most of the gang will hang up there this weekend frm 1200 onwards. see u there

tigershark....another shop is hobby bounties at hartamas shopping center plaza damas First Floor, Lot F17A & B

mostly airfix kits....hope this will help you ;)

i am going to hobby hq this sunday,
just want to know is there any skif model
kit available in kl, trying to find soviet modern
day armour vehicle n revell also

Dear Azlandiver....thanks for the info. I will check them out as well. Appreciated!

hang out there from 1200 onwards...dang..come to think of it...it IS becoming my regular Saturday haunt. and usually nothing going in to the shop, but carrying something out. bankrupt very fast... <_<

edit: say...i have a SFTPMS thingy under my name! didn't notice this earlier... :P

I'm trying to look for some local stores too. Looks like i need to drop by Hobby HQ as they seem to have lots of model aircrafts which is what im interested in.

I recently bought some models from aviationmegastore.com and it got here in one piece, quite fast too. but i rather find local supplier as i want to give this scale modelling thing a second chance.

last time was more than 12 years ago :)

nice finding this forum, seems to have lots of active members

first of all, welcome to the forum modeller 2.0, if u have time, drop by our event this weekend at cineleisure, lots of "kaki" will be there,

Just an "Update". City Square has really gone underground now. And you can't have the rocks for souvenirs as well. :D

City Sqaure now

Eh, I taught only Ampang Plaza is demolished and City Square is just refurbished?

Actually, it is Yow Chuan Plaza that is being demolished. City Square is being upgraded.

Yow Chuan = Ampang Plaza lah kan???

Yup. Yow Chuan = Ampang Plaza = Plaza Ampang ^_^

So other than Tamiya Underground, where else is a good place to find Tamiya or fujimi scale models for cars?

Most hobby shops nowadays carry Gundams, which is fine, but I'm kinda bored of fantasy robots.

not much, apart from HHQ and MH (which they do bring in low amount depending on demand), ur are better getting them either thru online or nearest, from singapore or HK :P

Hello, dawghause.
Firstly welcome to this forum.
If you go through this post here, you'll find additional 3 hobby shops. As for Tamiya, I think they are only sell at Tamiya Undergroud only.

cheeers.... :D

I wondering if Hobby HQ (Never go there) have lots Mr. Color Paint, for eg., Mr.COLOR 313 YELLOW FS33531 or Mr.COLOR 324 LIGHT GRAY? Color Series above 200.

Arzwarth, HHQ can considered as our HAVEN for Gunze product since 25 years ago. Can inquire PEMLOW for product availability. :D

mej®

Being the only (so far) Gunze frequent stockist, you might still have problem obtaining popular colours but rest assured that you can place an order with him if the colours you are looking for is unavailable.

I visit Hobby HQ today and bought the color I wanted. :D

oh? u were there? which one were u? quite a few new ppl at HHQ today...just buy n cabut ones...

u shld've walked over to the group of ppl sitting there talkin nonsense... :lol:

I'm the one who bring a wife and a daughter sleeping in her stroller. Well, cannot catch what you guys talking, my vocab not that big. But I can see somebody making a helmet. XD I was rushing to go to my parents house.

I was there but really for a while ;)
Around 4:30pm and only for 10mins :P

I went HHQ too on 6th June, only 5 mins... or less... :)
