on the other note....
i'm trying to source for Zvezda model kit at the scale of 1:72.. if everything is ok anyone want to joint?

i'm trying to get the Sukhoi SU-47 "Berkut" and the MIG 1.44 Multirole Fighter plus ome other Russian model kits... hope that everything going well..

i'll post here later if i got news about it..

kuman

haha its a toy wat..... Toy model ? =\ but not all ppl can afford this kind of "toy" la this is big boy toys ........ kuman , u wan bulk issit? got pic ?

I think it's better defined as a replica Most modelers i know get offended when their masterpieces are referred to as toys unless if one builds it as a toy 'quality' lol...

haha ya replica of the original thing......... mostly ppl jus refer tat as model rite ? anyone say "toy" model ?

Lovely!! thinkit's gonna cost a bomb for those. I remember a friend of mine had the simpsons markings...think it was about RM70++ or more.

dear kuman,

my deepest sympathy for you. if you think that's a 1/144, you're conned. if you think that looks like a bloody BA 744, again you're conned. if you think an RM7.90 die-cast model can do you any good for collecting it, once again you're conned. and finally, if you think BA really has such a livery, you're really conned! it looks more like a kid's toy to me...sorry, but your model is not even close to being real.

what Jackygwh have there is genuine die-cast 1/400 JA 744 models. Jackygwh, correct me if it's not 1/400. and i think they're manufactured by Dragon Wings, yes?

@Tony C
Yea its from Dragon Wings but canot compare mine with kuman one la cause the price also diff the one i post each cost RM 400

The First picture which have 3 aircraft togather one is a set which sell for RM 1.1k Those are 747 model and yup its a 1/400 Scale

I dun think Kuman was conned la, if tat plane he bought cost RM 400 THEN he was really Conned haha but it jus worth RM 7.90 so we also can guess hows the quality of RM 7.90 model la no hard feelings k we all are aircrafe model lovers so be nice to each other and i think u are good..... u know alot detail of aircraft model welcome join us

@Kelvw
if RM 70 ++ oledy cost u 'a' BOMB then this will cost u 6 BOMBs haha cause each of the aircraft above cost RM 400

oh i think i hav the picture of tat aircraft u are talking bout Its nice btw RM 70 oni ? are u sure ? if RM 70 i wan buy one to keep also

ok, not conned, but seriously, kuman, it has the features of a 744, but it's not how a real 744 looks like. i'm just giving you real advice from the perspective of an aviation enthusiast. no pun intended.

jackygwh, RM1.1k???? that's really errr...bit too expensive... but wait, where did you get it from? JA? and i believe if you paid that amount for it, it's a limited edition set, ya?

i'm a beginner with aircraft models, but i'm getting there, only very slowly - plenty of work at the moment. i'm more of an aviation enthusiast... :wink:

the simpson livery aircraft has the rego N949WP, aircraft type is B733, operated by Western Pacific Airlines. for the real aircraft's photo, search for the rego at http://www.airliners.net/

cheers!

this one this one

no problem... no.. its not i've been conned.. i only bought it to show what they sell here.. and i'm not a commercial aircraft collector.. about the scale.. i'm guessing only... since its just too small....

yup.. we need more aircrft enthutiast in here ... do join us..

none taken..
like i said.. i'm just guessing the model type since no specific ino was given on the RM 7.90 model..

yup.. modelling can be an expensive hobby.. so slowly but steadily is the way to go..

kuman

eh u ppl got see news paper bout the new largest commersial aircraft has arrive at singapore ? and coming to malaysia too (soon) anyone going airport see it ? haha

btw u ppl mind tat i post picture of the size above ? cause got alot more nice diecast model i wan to post.... because use attach picture is too small and u need to click it to enlarge it..... i prefer to post it like tat haha so ??

ahh its the new Airbus A380 is it?
i heard that it coming to KLIA soon.. nice...

i think... clicking would be better.. since if too big.. some ppl might be turn-off by waiting... but if if all on the aster connection then i guess,, should be ok.. but for me.. maybe i prefer clicking..

kuman

this would go a bit off topic, but since you're interested in it, i'll give you guys a teaser...
A380 landed in Sydney at 0940 hours EST Sunday (30 mins behind schedule) after 2 orbits around the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House.
VIEW PICTURE
Landed on Runway 34L, exited via Taxiway Bravo 2 and parked at Domestic Terminal.
Here's a close up, courtesy of my friend JC Yeoh.
VIEW PICTURE
Also heard that DW might release A380 on special Asian tour livery... :wink:

By the way, it is now in Melbourne and will fly back to Brisbane tomorrow. Departing Brisbane on Wednesday, approx 1400 hrs EST. Will arrive KLIA in late evening, be towed into a hangar and have MAS decals put on. It'll move across to Bunga Raya complex the next day (i.e. Thursday) for VIP visit and then to the terminal area for airport ground ops tests.

Have fun!
