HI there Not sure of the opening times of UML , the times I have been are later in the afternoon as I am not sure the model shops open too early. I would also recommend going to the end of Dundas Street past the hospital on your right. There is a small shop on the end and another just around the corner which I think is Wa ling or something like that, they definitely have Trumpeter and Hobby boss which UML does not!!

There are several others tucked away in little alley ways and if memory serves me there is also a reasonable on on Tung Hoi street.
What you will soon realise is that there are loads of model shops in Mong Kok and they are tucked away just look around in some of the small malls and you will happen to find them. Have a good time I am going there on Friday this week and will no doubt be spending too much when I am there. Hope this helps

Hi,

I went to HK last November. The UML shop on Nathan Rd opened at two different times over two different trips to the locale. Once it didn't open until 11:30 AM, the other one was at 12:XX PM.

The other hobby shops around Mongkok open pretty late as well. I see some opening their shutters as late as after 1:30 PM!

Strangely, the one in Causeway Bay consistently opens around 12:00 PM.

HTH!
