I got the piece at 50% discount from MH (Miniature Hobby) during their moving out sales at MidValley.  This is my first piece of diecast on fighter jet so i can't tell you how's the quality as I have no other piece to compare with.  Your F14 looks good...I am also trying get F14 but MH dun carry it.  How much you pay for your F14 from HLJ inclusive of the postage cost + tax if any?

Hi.. MH reminds me of my old days when im still working dat time...  I miss MH in midvalley.. Used to browse there every weeks especially when its nearly gaji time  ... Need to restocking some models... Coz my models kinda exhausted already.. I mean the small plane usually 1:72 ww2 theme that i can built straight from the box... If the good one, kinda "sayang" wanna built it.. Thinking of investing some aftermarket stuff for that good models...

Oops sorry. Cos the tag on the thread was model kit, and the first few threads were interesting as they were describing model kits. That piqued my interest, as I was planning to start my own collection of model kits. My mistake then. Sorry.

Lol ... Last i check that is 2 years ago laa kan... Academy price tag for 1/72 kit is around rm19.90-rm39.90 (from Miniature Hobby)... Usually rm19.90 models is for WW2 theme plane... For modern one is around rm29.90-54.90... For some brand, 1/48 modern plane can go as low as rm49.90.. Academy 1/48 ww2 theme is around that price also.. It can get higher depending on how big the plane is... But now, not sure how much is it anyway.. I got a bad feeling that it's increase quite a a lot ... Toy city models of course super expensive lor.. But really good quality  .. Wait until there's a sale.. Usually they slash the price up to 30%.. But now the models in toy city really limited laa kan... Ok back to model shop in KL, there are 2 places that I know but haven't check it yet... Check the address below

Owh by the way, never heard zhengdufu brand before.  .. There are other kinda cheap models such as Academy, Kitech & Kangnam.. ... I train myself using Academy models and I can understand ur feeling.. Sayang with expensive models if we turn it into trash rite..  .. Anyway happy hunting... 

Yep.. 1 colour for all.. I have 2 different scale F-117.. 1 i didnt paint it at all since its already black.. lol  .. But i might paint it later... Just dunno what colour wanna use... Another one I paint into german gray... Nothing to do, soo experiment with other colours  ..The airbrush really a good investment lor... At least can do it for something else... My point of view only laa kn..

Perghhhh 500++ models?? Die cast ka all?? Im not shocked if its plastic kit.. But if die-cast, imagine how much money they spent on it.. Lol.. But to compare back plastic kit and die-cast.. the price should be not much difference if you invest in some aftermarket stuff.. Well some of the aftermarket product is more expensive than the kit itself.. Lol... The only die-cast i have is the one come with the magazine Air Combat Collection.. Quite cheap coz the magazine + die cast (with stand) only about rm9.90.. Certain shop markup up too rm30 and i saw few people sell the model for rm50 a piece.. The quality quite ok compare to the price laa kan... I bought each issue 2 sets coz of the cheap price..  All models never open.. Sayangg oo.... ...
