Excuse me if this has already discussed here but...

I will be in Shanghai mid May and wondering if there is any 1:500 store available in Shanghai.

Cheers

Yes, there is very big store called: WingsWorld Shanghai. Before they have a small shop in Shanghai downtown, but due to very high cost the move to new place.
Here is address: 上海市徐汇区蒲汇塘路98号5楼. Shopping hours: 10:30 - 19:00.
Taxi from People's Square will cost you around 35RMB (~5€). If you don't know SH, there is always better to take taxi.
This is a very old building, doesn't looks like a shop. It's actually warehouse with small restaurants. After you will enter the building, you have to turn left, upstairs to the 5th floor (or take elevator to 4th floor and than use stairs). On 5th floor there is only one place you can enter... the shop.

The choice is quite big, the owner has a lot of Hogan models and Herpa. If you want he can prepare the models before, just drop him an e-mail to: sales@herpa.com.cn or
He speak a bit English, or if you speak Chinese you can always call him: +86 180 1748 3825.

I want to aware you, this shop is not cheap. You have to taklk about any discount before you agree to buy something. This guy is a hard player.

Visited the shop on Monday and bought few models. Prices are not that cheap, but I didn't want to miss the opportunity to buy models over the counter, as most of the time I have to buy from online without physically checking them.

The owner is very polite and friendly. Brought at-least 2 pieces of each model from inside the store, so that I could pick the perfect quality one. He has quite a big customer base here, I was at the shop 3 times and found customers every times. Luckily t was only 2 blocks from my hotel.

And he really has a huge collection at the shop, almost of all scales.
