Hello mate! Where are you visiting in Manila? There are plenty of great places to buy models from in Metro Manila.

I highly recommend both Mighty Blue Hobby Store (just opened last December!) in Gateway Tower Mall, Cubao and Lil's Hobby Store in Megamall, Ortigas, Pasig City. Mighty Blue has a lot of Tamiya stuff. Lil's also carries Tamiya, but also has other model brands like Dragon.

If you do pass by Mighty Blue Hobby Store- they have the newest M3 Stuart Light Tank from Tamiya in store (1/35). Most of the display items there for 1/35 armor is mine. I left the finished M3 Stuart there if you want to have a look how she builds up

For your reference, this is the Facebook page of Mighty Blue. Am friends with the owner. He's a pretty cool guy.

I don't recall seeing Classy Hobby kits in the LHS' here. Lil's Hobby Center would have a selection of 1/16 Trumpeter kits. A 1/6 DML Kubelwagen was on display sometime back. You can look them up at FB and make inquiries. The link posted above gives you other options.

It's a nice little shop. I picked these up for about 3100 PHP.
Usually, I only buy one kit but we had plenty of room coming home this time.

Last time I was in Makati, Manila (early 2018), there was a good shop in Glorietta Mall in Makati. Very good selection of Tamiya (since most are produced there) at very good prices.

I wasn't able to visit the site for a while - sorry for the delayed reply. But related in a way. Most Tamiya stocks in Lil's are available in Mighty Blue as well. They're different stores though.
