QUOTE(limfreelance @ Oct 24 2014, 08:42 AM) hahaha, 1 F18 = EM a10 + F16 + F15 Ya...hahahaha... But it still worth at least cheaper than HM and CW. BTW my FOV F-14 didn't take photo anyway, cuz too many loadout need to attach. And other collector already share the same product last time, so may be next time sharing.

QUOTE(WingNut @ Oct 24 2014, 08:55 AM) how can compare like that? one is diecast, the other is plastic. how's the detailing of the f/a18 compared to witty wings? from pictures, seems less details than witty? Ya, the detail for me I accept, but sure not good as WW. RMB278 = RM150, can't complain, haha...

Cheer. true... and i've seen some pretty awesome finished kits (your included!). i'm a noob in this hobby and i've read that plastic models don't last that long. not sure whether that's true or not, though.

For me is whatever anyway. At least I fulfill. And experience for buying other none popular brands. Now I know how is the quality are of HM, EM, Gaincorp and FOV. Juz didn't have WW, CW and AF1 experience. But see the photo sharing from your guys, very impressive. This post has been edited by strikermac: Oct 24 2014, 10:52 AM

QUOTE(strikermac @ Oct 24 2014, 08:26 AM) Here come GainCorp product~~ All I can say is really nice. Diecast make for sure. Detailing is good as HM or better. Even the aircraft stand also make by diecast metal. Worth the price anyway. OK, lets have a look then. F/A-18F Super Hornet, U.S.NAVY VFA-2 Bounty Hunters - NE100 (1/72 scale) from GAINCORP   Ya... the yellow decal...  , but NVM.     » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « [attachmentid=4183772] [attachmentid=4183773] [attachmentid=4183774] [attachmentid=4183775] [attachmentid=4183776] [attachmentid=4183777] [attachmentid=4183778] Diecast's Achilles heels at picture 4, the large gap at seam joint. That I find it hard to accept. I wonder EM has such issues, being plastic.

I prefer minimal loadout for displays. Maxmimum loadouts looks cluttered.

Nice sharing of photos.
Such assembled models are new to me hence the many questions.
Where do you buy EM models? I would like to take a look.

Most of the jet are same price except SU 30 about S$75 but this guy I buy from are running low in stock (limited model) for Witty Wing model. Since my nice brought in for me I save on the postage and it only cost me about RM170.

Deathsoul, this guy I buy from do not sell Hobby Master brand, sorry I still have no idea who is selling HM in Singapore. WindNut, apparently they have sold out all SU27 and SU30. You can visit their website Airplane models @ SG, they mostly deal in commercial air craft like our My Hobby House.
