welcome to this subforum...

enjoy your stay..

Do you still into modelling? its understandable to have tons of kits but only 24hours a day to do a lot of things..

i think most of the modeller have the habit of buying but limited time to actually finish it.. (i'm one of them)

still stuck in building my F22-Raptor.... thanks to kelvw built-up guide i can really finish my build...(although its not going to be as great as his model)

with regards to magazine
i guess with each issue they have a detail cutaway & history of the featured aircraft?
maybe someone can actually scan a page and show it to us.. like a "pepatah" said - " Sharing Is Caring"

i'm a big fan of aircraft cutaways.... but just cant shell-out a couple of hundred RM to get a decent wall-mounted-framed-full-color cutaways to adorn my room wall... for now i settled with a black n white printed-cutaways..

anyway...

enough of my rant... ")

hi guys i just broought myself a tamiya airplane...
want to try out this hobby..
i can see that they got include the stickers for the plane...
can anybody tell me the proper way to stick the sticker ??
i scared make spoilt the sticker and the model will go to waste!!
thanks ya

@KiLLer^Boy

stick the sticker ?? issit the type which need to be dip into water one ? then when the sticker and the paper seperated then u use ur finger to take it up ....

Tamiya prodeuct are very expensive becos Toycity stop importing Tamiya product due to some dispute betewwn the them

welcome to your new hobby..

what plane is it?
have you completed the assembly and painting?

i read somewhere that we first must soak the decals in water before sliding it into place on the model...

i might be wrong...




hmmm.. i think if bought locally yes.. but if you get from online (HLJ) for example it would be a bit cheaper... for comparison..

Navy F4 Phantom II from Tamiya = RM30 ( Yen900 x 0.0329)

i'm planning to get that one together with some other stuff..

Ooo~~ I missed my modeling days
but that was more than 15 years ago since I last touch modeling
used to be a big fan of Tamiya products, last time the price is quite cheap thou... a Tamiya 1/72 Apache cost me only RM20++, and a Tamiya 1/35 M1 Abraham tank also cost me only RM30++
My last model was a Tamiya APC which cost me only RM20++
But all of my model I only assemble and put on the sticker nia... no $$ to buy paint, expensive lar Luckily most of the military model mainly is in dark green or dark grey, still looks good without any painting


Now? aiyo~~ need to think 10 times before buying Tamiya products, they are so bloody expensive!!

k heres a photo of the cutaway in the pages of that air combat collection mag.
sadly they're not center spread so you cant really frame them unless you scan it real good and print it out 10R size.

wah seh so nice ah the mag.............. stil got sell ?

@Kuman
hey when u wnana buy ah ? can tumpang ah ? i wan get one F15C

i think so... i not sure leh

now only i starting to do the paint job...
my plane is the classic plane.. donno u heard b4 anot
fairey sword clear edition

that's just cool... just what i always wanted .. a detail cutaway... but alas.. i think its impossible to find it here in Penang.... hmmm

i already ordered yesterday....
i ordered 2 Macross model...
1/72 VF-0S Macross Zero
and
1/72 Macross Plus YF-19
well.. that was about all the purchase for this year.

dunno if i'm able to produce the end result as what they show on their site... but i'm gonna give it a try..
and somehow the YF-19 reminded me of that FA-37 Talon from the movie "Stealth" (not the EDI plane)
been trying to find the closest imitation to that plane.. hopefully this will do justice..

i'm sure.. but is it possible that the model you're talking about is this bi-wing Fairey Swordfish?

if buy that one.. then all the time have to play with it..
i just want to build and put on display.. .. no time to play with it anymore..

i used to have that kind of transformable one..

...

now in my workbench is a F22-Raptor.. and on the line is a F14D Tomcat but from Kitech.. we'll see how the thing goes..

kuman

Hey show us some in-progress pics too..

will do.. but my "in-progress" is not as detail as yours la kelvw..

now in the middle process already.. thing left need fixing is just the tail (which i'm going to wait until painting) and the missile...

i'm going to build an in-flight model since its very hard and impossible to fix the landing gear on this cheap kits...

we'll have to wait for the painting job...

====

anyone know where i can purchase those Gundam Marker locally? thinking of getting them from HLJ.. but most of their marker already "backordered"... any idea? and this marker can be use with our aircraft model.. right?

thinking of using this to paint my cockpit..

kuman

so does anyone here know where we can find this FUTURE Floor Polish in Malaysia...

according to this site.. Complete Future we can find it in ACE Hardware store...

anyone have any luck finding it??

or any replacement for it? i know that the maker is Johnson Wax... maybe here in Malaysia they use other name.. can anyone verify??

thanks..

kuman

GAMECON is on this Saturday 3rd-4th Dec at the Midvalley MIVEC. Wilayah & Selangor Modeling club will be having modelbuilding sessions for beginners and airbrushing armour workshops. More details here ... (not sure if the forum is working or not as it's been having some probs lately)

Seemed quite difficult to find Future Floor wax already at ACE Hardware since most modellers already gasak a few bottles at one go hence the price increased and it's availability. I've not seen Johnson FloorWax here locally but only Future. You could still achieve the same tasks with Tamiya/Gunze's clear but of course much cheaper with future. But if u're dipping canopies it's better with Future.

HTH

wat is tat ? issit some polishing liquid ? or to make the model color last longer ?
