5th issue already out? I only have 1st and 2nd from my local bookstore here in Kuching.

Still inside box unopen but very tempted but I don't like halfway job. Prefer to have all my parts like building Gundam kits.

How much did they charge you?
*
Courier fee RM30 for issue 3 - 9. 1 issue is given "free" as they said so average down around RM29.80 per issue including courier fees. 7 issues RM179.40. yawn.gif

QUOTE(Aeon_Clock @ Oct 19 2011, 04:56 PM)
no choice on this matter...air shipment required sweat.gif

Least its reasonable but really turn off sometimes wanna subscribe stuff, always got extra charge to send to east side. Even Doraemon book + RM2 for shipping per book. Become RM7 per book. Go bookstore buy cheaper. Bleh! doh.gif

indeed...don't they sell this magazine over there?
or maybe you have friends or cousins in west Malaysia that can help you out a bit.

Thanks for the offer bro. They do sell it here. I asked the bookstore owner, he said 2 weeks they send 1 set. So literally I'll be behind. We only have issue 1 and 2 here atm while you guys are already seeing 3rd and 4th?

I've subscribed with allscript already. Just checked with them today. They got my fax already. So, next comes the torturous waiting. rclxms.gif

This just in: I just received my 1st subscription together with McLaren cap! rclxm9.gif

I'll upload the pics later. Received Issue 2, 3, 4, and 5. Soooo happy now... wub.gif

I did. Used toothpick apply on the diecast holder and then put on the wing, ended up like that.

Owh well. This is even harder than putting model ship/gundam kits together lol! More challenge though parts are bigger. I'll try fixing it with acrylic later. tongue.gif

With CF decals, it would look nice. Either way just pray they provided it early or we buy and apply. Hope its not too costly. I want it also. Problem is looking for decal softener here in the east.

KL yes. Not East Malaysia. Even hunting down Mr.Cement/Tamiya cement was already hell. All the hobby shops in Kch, only 1 had stock. Rest only brought it in once and it never sold well hence they stop bringing it in. mad.gif

Sure why not. Do let me know the price beforehand. Need to budget a little. Trying to save up for a smaller (and less noisier) compressor for my airbrushing.

Its a very cheap solutions. Maybe for the moment i need 6 piece decals for the moment. Of course you can order less than that. But need to see the size pattern of the twills.

I meant everything (solution+decal) tongue.gif

If its pre-cut, than that will be easier, else, need to order extra just in case things goes wrong. Never know. biggrin.gif

The box it came in was badly dented. doh.gif
Dad kidnapped the cap and proclaim it his, so he got the fair share of the deal since I use his CC to pay first, so it wasn't in the picture. rclxms.gif

Before back from work, drop-by to the news stand where I got my first 2 issues and he was on holiday. doh.gif double bummer. How to proceed!

*decides to go out yumcha then* tongue.gif

Yesterday went to Popular and I have stop buying for about one week since last week, guess what? Yesterday I have to buy all 3 set from #5 until #8. When buying more than one issue will be a bit pricy.

But now, I got the nose part almost complete (at least can see it is a well done front nose), the feeling is way higher than the money you paid actually (provided your budget is still allow you doing so).

Following issue, I think is less "stick on" process and more "screw up" joint part. wink.gif

Honestly, I think Popular are selling at higher price compared to RRP. First issue is supposed to be RM9.90, they sell it at RM11.40 and second issue is RM19.90, they sell at RM21.90. I wonder how much is third issue onwards since I suscribe from Allscript third issue onwards.

When did you buy the 1st Issue at RM11.40? I bought it for RM9.90 and checked other Popular stores also RM9.90. Maybe the RM9.90 applies only for certain period after first release.
*
Recently, like a few days ago. 2nd batch of issue 1-2 since I kinda spoilt my first one remember? Earlier ones I bought for RM9.90 and RM19.90 at a news stand I frequent alot but they ran out of the first 2 issues already.
