kinda afraid of MC models....even though all look nice but my hi-v 3rd version is really.....cannot make it la. all white parts become cream color. missing a lot of stuff. sad.gif might as well pay rm50 extra for the missing items.

might keep it n paint...my only option sad.gif

so far i only support MC. but my first MC...hi-v already got bad experience. white plastic part ends up cream/beige color. my ex-s SD seems to be ok though.

so i kinda reluctant to buy other pirate kits. TT/GG ok 1 ka?

it depends on ur perception of 'ok'
u can never, ever, expect a bootleg to be same as ori, no matter how good, there's always a flaw
whats more their production quality may varies with different batches

ppl buy bootleg kits for 2 main reason:
low budget/save costs OR for modding/parts salvage/painting
so if u dont have the 2 reasons above, i suggest better dont get anymore bootlegs to save trouble n frustration
with exception MC kits its solely up to u since dont even have ori version  tongue.gif

yes boss. my bad boss. just first time buy bootleg so donno what to expect. my ex-s sd perfectly nice....so din expect hi-v so different ma. not even close to white. LOL.

but mc is not reli bootleg la...coz no bandai kits are like mc kits. tongue.gif

Just an advice smile.gif if u really like MC model.. try get their first batch kit.. coz normally for first batch.. the quality is controlled.. other batch.. I dun dare to comment also.. than from what General_nic has said is true..

ppl get bootleg kit to do replacement parts, as parts to be modified, to do training and sampling of their painting skills and etc..

so if you decide to just build + panel line + put it on the shelf and doesn't want to do much on ur kit.. I highly suggest you to get Bandai.. because as far as I know .. almost all bootleg kit that I buy, the color really need to be touched up and if u draw panel line by accident.. it's either too hard to clean or too easy to clean. .coz  mostly I see is the parts are either flat top coat effect or over glossy effect..

choose wise bro smile.gif

Cheers..

yeap. now i know after u and General_nic gave me the advice. LOL. i really like their kits actually coz its like bandai resin kits ;P

for my SD EX-S ...i think i mgiht try straight build and panel line. smile.gif

for hi-v, i will learn how to airbrush it + mod biggrin.gif
