Yea, it's Italeri but I think it is F-14A.
I assembled it in flying mode with retracted wheels so I can play around with it . If you notice the paint on the plane body, it is slowly losing colour, sign of poor maintenance and wear and tear flying in the harsh weather. I bought the Black bird for RM20+ only. No idea what brand is that, it is huge (standard 1:72 scale) and I sprayed it with black paint and save me the trouble of brushpainting it  |

waaa rupanya many ppl in Lowyat ere into aircraft modelling as well..  i got a couple as well.. but most of them i havent painted yet... the one 've painted are all using normal aerosol paint (RM5.50) here is what i have for the moment and this a old shots as well... noted that the F14 Tomcat and the F18 Hornet "dambuster" is a diecast metal model.. scale 1:48 the rest is plastics from the elcheapo China brand.. Kitech and Zhengdefu... i do have Revell-Monogram models waiting to be assembled... MIG-29 Fulcrum (germany Marking) scale 1:32, Panavia Tornado (Saudi Arabia marking) and A10 Thunderbolt - scale 1:72 and a Eurofighter Typhoon 1:48 scale. all of those are Revel-Monograms model.. cost quite expensive especially the MIG 29 one..RM290  my expensive one yet... will post pic later... but for now..  enjoy...

It's a 1/60 scale and the pieces are like 10,000 parts  . But the thing is .... it's VERY detail. Even the cockpit controls you have to build. The engine is the worse part  , it's like building a real engine for the plane. The brand is called Academy |

hmm air combat collection...
its all die-cast, 1:100 scale. RM9.90 each, first issue is RM6.90. some of the models have real good details, some just ok. on avg at least 80% of the models are real good. 32 issues altogether. MALAYSIAN SUPPLIER ONLY BRINGS IN UP TO ISSUE 24. @#@$%@#%!@#%@#!@%!#$^!#$!@$#!@#^!#$%!#%$!@#$@#$. needless to say, i dont have issues 25-32. tho i got extras of the issues with the F-16, Mig-29, Apache, Spitfire, BF-109.

i think another good publication would be World Air Power Journal
they features a very good details on aircraft including some cutaways, walkaround etc but sadly to say the magazine already being discontinue from publishing thus rendering it unavaiable to the user here.. The last issue is Winter 2000. One fellow modeller from UK have his own collection of this publication, he willing to sell it but it would cost thousand of ringgit in shipping and handling charges alone for it to be send here to Malaysia... so i just scrap the idea and settle to the normal Aircraft Encyclopedia i can find in bookstore nationwide. An Illustrated Anatomy of the World's Fighters: The Inside Story of over 100 Classics in the Evolution of Fighter Aircraft (Hardcover) - By William Green = a good reference for the Cutaway of Aircraft although its only in black and white. Aircraft Cutaway book Reference hmm what to do.. we're always left out here in Malaysia when it comes to a good aircraft publications.. again my 2 rupiah contributions.. kuman This post has been edited by kuman: Oct 26 2005, 05:34 PM |

I'm building my F-22 as well but at a smaller scale 1:72 from KiTech.. not very accurate, but will do what kind of coating u use? i heard so much about FUTURE.. ever come across those thing in Malaysia? you did a fine job here.. did you submit your creation to Aircraft resource Center Modelling it would be a fine addition to the Malaysian submission to the site.. i really wish i got an airbrush set... now stuck with spray aerosol cans (Anchor, Bosny & Tamiya) only kuman This post has been edited by kuman: Oct 27 2005, 05:17 PM |

Umm..actually the cockpit is black
it's not a masking tape haha. I usually use the tamiya tape and ocassionally normal masking tapes on less important areas. Tamiya tape is still the best so far final coating is Future Not sure if could be obtained at ACE hardware these days. I bought it few years back when not many modelers knew about it. Now all kena sapu and the price went up too. Jackygwh: which plane are u referring to? the Avenger was about RM300 at MH and the F-22... I bought it for RM30 when they had the 50% sales years back. Took me longer to build the F-22 (6 months) compared to the Avenger. Kit was bad and had to do alot of scratchbuilding, photoetching...puttying..etc etc. I don't think kitech produces nice kits. If you're going for the F-22 1/72... try MiniHobby (trumpeter) |

FUTURE is the thing... here in northern region.. noplace to find this material... been looking for it for ages.... - Yup.. KITECH/ZHENGDEFU doesnt produce a good model kits... but they would suffice for a beginner like myself.. i have a couple of KITECH/Zhengdefu fully assembled... but havent got a change to paint yet... - thanks kuman |

well, speaking of masking tape. In my airchina 747, i used those regular clear selfan tape. My plane's livery suppose to have a gray fuselage belly. i taped it according to the lines and take a few layers of newspaper to cover the uppoer fuselage. Spray painted and it turned out nice.

ooo don't use those tranparent tapes.. try n get those creamed coloured masking tape... it should be low tack enough. Another one could be the 3M blue masking tape.. havent tried it before though. Saw it in Ace hardware.
If you happened to come by KL. Do drop by HobbyHQ, plenty of nice kits & supplies. |

HobbyHq is at the 3rd floor, City Square KL. Just next to YowChuan Plaza. Plenty of gunze paints and other accessories. Kits are not cheap though as they carry exclusive stuff e.g Hasegawas, Academy, Tamiya, Trump etc. But then if you're looking for quality kits...
Oh yea.. the avenger is up on display in MidValley |

I've gone to checkout diecast aircraft models just yesterday, and I can't help but feel disgusted at the lack of quality of the stuffs I saw (I forgot the brand for it already, but I remember the logo being a gold square, with something like a huge "S" on the middle, and the same company also did other stuffs like 1:18 diecast bikes, cars, tanks and whatnot).
90% of the planes I've saw have like, a ridiculously smooth body. There's no real panel lines (other than flat looking black lines that are directly airbrushed/printed on the planes) on them, and the color on them looked flat. Sure, aircrafts in reality are flat, but meh, they could've at least make use of the airbrush and paint on some makeshift shadow on them to make them feel 'real', if you get what I mean >_>. What's more, I don't really fancy model kits/toys that are HUGE (lol Americans only buy things that are as HUGE as an Xbox). But still, why die cast? Why not plastic? It's easier to make more detailed moulds easily on the plastic, and it's not as if plastics aren't sturdy (not like you're going to throw the thing across the room anyway, the models just spend the rest of the eternity sitting on your desk/display cabinet to gather dust once you've bought them anyway). Hell, just look at what the Japanese managed to produce (and they're cheaper too. Either that, or all the stores I've went to overcharged by selling those die cast aircrafts at RM19.90~29.90 a piece, because the Japanese 1/144 miniatures retails at 250~400yen, around RM10~RM16): 1/144 aircrafts: http://timm-toys.sakura.ne.jp/PutiToy/toyf14.html http://timm-toys.sakura.ne.jp/afv/sweet.html http://timm-toys.sakura.ne.jp/afv/helib.html http://timm-toys.sakura.ne.jp/PutiToy/toyf20.html http://timm-toys.sakura.ne.jp/afv/wwmf15.html http://timm-toys.sakura.ne.jp/PutiToy/toyf13.html http://timm-toys.sakura.ne.jp/PutiToy/toyf44.html http://timm-toys.sakura.ne.jp/PutiToy/toyf08.html http://timm-toys.sakura.ne.jp/PutiToy/toyf24.html Takara's World Tank Museum series (250yen each): http://timm-toys.sakura.ne.jp/PutiToy/toyf01.html http://timm-toys.sakura.ne.jp/PutiToy/toyf30.html http://timm-toys.sakura.ne.jp/afv/wtm06.html http://timm-toys.sakura.ne.jp/PutiToy/toyf02.html http://timm-toys.sakura.ne.jp/PutiToy/toyf46.html http://timm-toys.sakura.ne.jp/PutiToy/toyf15.html http://timm-toys.sakura.ne.jp/PutiToy/toyf23.html http://timm-toys.sakura.ne.jp/afv/wtm05.html another 1/144 tank series made by some company I've never heard of before: http://timm-toys.sakura.ne.jp/PutiToy/toyf03.html http://timm-toys.sakura.ne.jp/PutiToy/toyf16.html http://timm-toys.sakura.ne.jp/PutiToy/toyf19.html http://timm-toys.sakura.ne.jp/PutiToy/toyf26.html http://timm-toys.sakura.ne.jp/PutiToy/toyf31.html http://timm-toys.sakura.ne.jp/PutiToy/toyf36.html http://timm-toys.sakura.ne.jp/PutiToy/toyf47.html The rest of the stuffs the webmaster collects: http://timm-toys.sakura.ne.jp/index2.html Seriously, compared to all the diecast crap that I saw, nothing could match this kind of quality:  |

Haha I'm not affiliated with HobbyHq la but I do visit them quite often. Usually they'll have modellers meetup on Saturdays. Quite interesting to see what others are building and technique sharing. Anyways...HobbyHQ is just opposite AmpangPark.
I have yet to see the new 1/32 SU-27 built by a fellow modeller in MiniatureHobby. It's gonna be huge!! As for airbrushes... I bought mine from HLJ.com for a pretty good price. Trips to HK will be a good idea too as it's cheap there. Bought some handpiece there as well. Oh yea.. those el-cheapo brushes will be more frustrating to paint. Better to get some good brushes/airbrushes to save headaches later on. So far I've been happy with brushes from Tamiya HG series. Abit expensive but worth it. Art brushes are good too but you'll need to be selective of it as some won't hold much paint. I started off with ArmourCollection series of diecast planes too that's when I moved on to scale models. I think it's quite worth it if you're a serious collector as it really heavy and the scale is pretty good. Only downside is it's too darn expensive to collect. Wish I could show u guys the collection but it's all boxed up at the moment... no place to display it. Wife will kill me too... haha |

QUOTE(teddie @ Oct 31 2005, 06:24 PM) any1 intersted with commercial airplane??? i'm beginning to like commercial airplane as well... but some of them is unbelieveably expensive for such as small scale (as what i saw in ToyCity, scale 1:144 = RM300 ).. but for now i'll have to settle with military aircraft.. since as i mentioned before... no time to assemble.. QUOTE(Kelvw @ Nov 1 2005, 12:10 AM) Haha I'm not affiliated with HobbyHq la but I do visit them quite often. Usually they'll have modellers meetup on Saturdays. Quite interesting to see what others are building and technique sharing. Anyways...HobbyHQ is just opposite AmpangPark. I have yet to see the new 1/32 SU-27 built by a fellow modeller in MiniatureHobby. It's gonna be huge!! As for airbrushes... I bought mine from HLJ.com for a pretty good price. Trips to HK will be a good idea too as it's cheap there. Bought some handpiece there as well. Oh yea.. those el-cheapo brushes will be more frustrating to paint. Better to get some good brushes/airbrushes to save headaches later on. So far I've been happy with brushes from Tamiya HG series. Abit expensive but worth it. Art brushes are good too but you'll need to be selective of it as some won't hold much paint. I started off with ArmourCollection series of diecast planes too that's when I moved on to scale models. I think it's quite worth it if you're a serious collector as it really heavy and the scale is pretty good. Only downside is it's too darn expensive to collect. Wish I could show u guys the collection but it's all boxed up at the moment... no place to display it. Wife will kill me too... haha just a wild guess of your affiliation there they have a meetup every Saturdays... wowo that just awesome.. i really wish they have some kind of modeller club or something up here in Penang area... or maybe they just not as active as the ones in KL.. maybe there are other modeller out there in Penang area.. since i saw this model kits (KITECH brand) always out of stock in my local THE STORE eventhough they just stock up the thing a couple of weeks ago... hmmm maybe i need to ask the cashier to take the telephone number of anyone that bought the model kits.. 1:32 SU-27... that would be an awesome build... i really love the big-big scale model kits... but the building process have to be very details since its big and we can see every bit of details in it... i have one MIG29 1:32 scale.. but too afraid to build.. i'm going to refer to this guy build when i build my MIG same as this MIG-29 Fulcrum A 1:32 scale anyway... in conjunction with Raya... i rearrange my messy display cabinet and realize that i most probably need another cabinet to dispaly all my model properly... and it will take up space in the living room and the wife is not going to be really happy about it.. although he approved of my hobby... kuman |

Me must start wif the uber low quality porduct so tat i can learn to assamble nicely.... i guess the Airbrush set will cost a nuclear bomb
if mme i think i pokai liao but those Revel "kit pak" are useful for newcommer. But for me i buy before some 1/144 scale from revel wif the "kit Pak" the end product not really nice wif teh paint Eh i buy before aircombat coleection only the Issue 1 then stop buying becos some moeny problem...

^ im 16 this month, guess im almot the same age with you. I model aircraft since i was 12, first aircraft was a revell fighter, but i screwed it up hehheh!
from then on i started doing china made planes to touch up my skills, and my major plane is a B52 superfotress, nice to say it turned out quite nice.. its a big plane, wingspan almost 1 meter. But gave it away as i moved back to KL. Well, now im into commercial planes but it seems only zhengedefu,kitech has them. All other all figher planes currently i got AirChina 747 and a screwed up Airbus a330... |

Kitech Brand is not very expensive.. Kiteh and Zhengdefu hmm.. let seee... i saw in The Store, they have Kitech 1:72 scale model kits selling for around RM25.. yesterday i was there, i saw they still have quite a few number of those kits... what i saw they have is hmmm... F14A, F14D, FA18, F22 Raptor, a couple of Helicopter... RA Comanche, Eurocopter Tiger, Apache, Cobra, And a couple of Tank from the World of tank series. ahh an also an aricraft Carrier Kitty Hawk. and they have those in stock now as for the Zhengdefu... i bought them last time for RM29.90 for the 1:48 scale.. now rarely see those brand anymore.... i think Trumpeter is definetely better then these two..

i found some zengdenfu model review.....
[ZHENGDEFU 1:72 MIG-31 FOXHOUND 'INBOX Review'  Reviewer: Mark B (SMAKR Webmaster) (smakr@bigpond.com) Fully built kit review also exists on this site Kit: Zhengdefu 1/72 No.DF320 MIG-31 Foxhound This is the first time I will have any exposure to this kit manufacturer, out of China. I understand most of their molds are copied from mainstream manufacturers so it will be interesting to see how this kit goes together. It comes in a big blue box, which at first glance I thought was a Revell kit - unfortunately not. On the plus side the kit was some third the price of perhaps a Revell kit of similar size (which is saying something!). What a bargain!! So no judgements on the kit really until it is made up! Parts: 1 plastic bag contains everything within it, including instructions, decal sheet, tube of glue (yes one small tube was included) and clear parts, although thankfully the clear parts are separately bagged. There are 82 light grey injected parts on three sprues, with very minor flash in some locating holes that will be easy enough to clean up, plus one sprue of two clear parts making up the canopy. Instructions: This is an approximately sized A3 sheet folded to make a booklet. Everything is covered in Chinese and English. Front page includes a very brief note on the aircraft, symbol explanation and sprue diagram. Half a dozen assembly steps grace the middle spread which also includes notations for colours. There is no paint range quoted, they are simply generic colour names. The arrows are pretty good but some insufficient exactness will frustrate novice modellers with regards to positioning of some of the items (like aerials etc) especially components that are butt joined but generally its easy to follow. The final page features a three view colours and marking diagram which includes missile markings. Versions: The kit caters for only one version, an unidentified MiG-31 with red 23 as its forward fuselage serial number. Unfortunately the instructions do not even tell you what colour scheme to paint the model, but one would expect it would be finished in an aircraft grey similar to the Foxbat, and also as depicted in the picture at the bottom of this page. Decals: A very small decal sheet is included that is remarkably similar to a Propagteam sheet, and I would anticipate of similar quality. Colour register is very good but very very slightly off (being quite picky here). As I said it is a small sheet and essentially only three categories are covered - Instrument consoles, forward fuselage red 23 and six red stars! Detail: The kit stands up quite well as far as surface detail is concerned although panel lines are raised. Small rivet detail is provided on the forward fuselage and wingtips to good effect. The main wheel wells also contain some plumbing but the nosewheel simply has structural crossbeams. The cockpit is "Hasegawa" sparse with simply floor (with molded on rudder pedals), two seats (one with very crude seam line) and sticks. There are side panels for both pilot and rear-seater with minimal and unrealistic raised console detail - but at least it has something. A very small instrument panel is provided for the pilot only, and this has no console detail whatsoever. As stated in the decal section above, a decal is provided for each of the side panels and pilot main instrument panel (this decal is twice the size of the panel!!) consoles. The seats are basic and are simply three-piece bucket seats - you affix the sides to the seat. The cockpit would benefit from an aftermarket set. Louvre detail is provided on the intake vanes and some raised fan detail is provided for the engine exhaust. Options: It is possible to display both canopies open but there are no struts to put in place for this. For stores options, the kit provides for the four underwing pylons to be filled, which includes a pair of large fuel tanks, a pair of AA-6 missiles and as well as four smaller AA-9 missiles for four underfuselage pylons. Accuracy: I haven't got the measuring stick out to check out the dimensions, wait until the build up. I already spotted a few glaring inaccuracies, such as the underfuselage stores are on pylons (see the image below, they are actually embedded into the fuselage), the inner wall of the intake being straight when it should be a snaking curve, omission of small strakes on the sides of the intake, raised outlet duct on top of the intakes when they should be depressed and I am sure there will be plenty more. On this basis, one would suggest you go and buy one of the relatively newer releases. Impressions: The parts do suffer a little from some ejector pin marks which are found mainly on the inside of parts, eg: inside of wings, inside the forward fuselage, on the landing gear and so forth, but nothing too sinister. I did test fit a couple of parts, including the forward fuselage and the inner wing portions and these went on perfectly so hopefully that is what is in store for the kit. The parts breakdown and make up of the kit differs a bit to the other two MiG-31 kits previewed on this site (Condor and Zvezda) so one assumes this is not a copy of either of those. The forward fuselage is split vertically to house the cockpit and the nose radome being affixed to the front. The main fuselage is split horizontally into upper and lower halves. The wings are two piece, which is really just a small lower piece placed inside the main upper section. The intakes are large and I am anticipating this will be where some problems might be encountered, if any. Other Comments: I've had no dealings with Zhengdefu in the past and the word from other modellers in rms suggest they copy molds [possibly pirated] from other manufacturers and churn out an inferior product. This cost $7 AUD which is damn cheap for a kit of this size down here leading me to think perhaps it is a copied mold. Revell are the only brand that released a MiG-31 previously, and while I have not seen that mold first hand, I am having a guess it is probably a copy of that one, as the parts breakdown do not match the other newer released kits. I DO NOT condone purchasing pirated copied kits, but in the interests of bringing you information and an unbiased review, the deed had to be done on this one. In the box, it looks great but I have some reservations, so we will wait and see how it pans out in the build. So stay tuned! [/I] credit to this webistie Zhengdefu 1/72 MiG-31 review This is the russian make Zvezda MiG 1.44  Background Even the most jaded booster of American fighter aircraft has to admit that, for the past twenty years, the ex-Evil Empire's really been "getting with the (fighter) program." They had to, of course, because since 1976 the F-15 in the hands of not only the hometown boys, but also the Israelis had been beating the performance of existing Soviet/Russian fighters like a drum. First came the Fulcrum, and then its bigger, badder brother, the Flanker, which offered the first serious threat to Western fighter supremacy. As in the game of Poker, the F-22 Raptor "saw" the Flanker and "raised" the stakes considerably, as has European development of the Eurofighter and Rafale. Russia's answer to the American ATF program which spawned the F-22, was the development (started in 1986) of a fifth generation, Multi-role fighter (MFI) which has since morphed into the Mig 1.44, a fly-by-wire, fire-and-forget, vectored thrust weapon system. Although F-22 development and production funding has, and will continue to be a problem, it pales in comparison to the gigantic financial obstacles facing Russia's post-1991military structure. Accordingly, the secretive Mig 1.44's first flight, originally planned for 1996, didn't occur until 2000. Further development and series production is cloudy to say the least. [I]FirstLook This curmudgeon really wishes Zvezda would move up to 1/48 releases, 'cause this surely looks like a nice kit and would be a perfect companion to the F-22, Typhoon and Rafale. Overall airframe shape and detailing of this close-held aircraft may be assumed to be accurate, since Zvezda states that the model was developed with the blessings of the Mikoyan Design Bureau.  Molding Excellent! Crisp with essentially zero flash. Engraving is very petite and sharp, in keeping with the smaller scale. Sprue attachment points are fairly small, equal to those of Tamiyagawa. None of those European limited production releases wherein the spigots are gigantic, often larger than the part to which they are joined. Instead of alignment pins, there are corner guides, which allow for minute adjustments when gluing. There are a few light sink marks on the two smaller underwing pylons, but that's an easy fix. Surface texture is flat, in the manner of glass-beaded molds, but seems to be much finer than that of, say, Fonderies Miniature. In any event, the airframe is not NMF, but intermediate blue over light ghost gray, and the fine texture of the parts makes for excellent paint holding qualities. Assembly Breakdown The fuselage features side-by-side forward halves and top/bottom aft sections. The delta wings are essentially one piece with cleverly designed smaller bottom inserts that shouldn't require any filling. Two of the three edges of the inserts form the natural gap that exists between the slats, flaperons, and their junctures with the main wing assembly. The third "gap" is covered by a weapons pylon. The cockpit tub (four-piece seat; I'd probably substitute one of the nice and "busy" resin aftermarket K-36 seats) is straightforward with no molded instrument/console detail, using decals instead, as in Zvezda's previously released Mig-31 Foxhound. Finely detailed, two-piece afterburner assemblies offer two configurations. Intake The multipiece intake trunk strongly resembles that of the Eurofighter and is cleverly shaped, using bowed vari-ramps to hide the fact that there's no uninterrupted smooth tunnel to the compressor faces which are glued to the main gear wells. Landing Gear All gear strut assemblies are multipiece which, in 1/72, calls for some delicate glue application. Wheel wells are added to the fuselage assembly from the inside and have minimal piping details. Clear Parts The windscreen and canopy are separate, fairly thin and exceptionally clear. For those wishing to go the open canopy route, two simple raising mechanisms are included. A display stand is included for those desiring an in-flight presentation. Decals and Color Guide Exterior colors are called out and listed in Model Master paint reference numbers, but no advice is given re cockpit, intake and wheel well colors. The decal sheet is small but certainly adequate, especially for a 1/72 model of a secretive aircraft. Two marking schemes are offered. Instructions The instruction booklet has eight pages of easily understood assembly drawings with minimal bilingual text and decent three-views for marking/color reference. Conclusion This curmudgeonly fan of Russian aircraft is impressed! Zvezda is very, very close in overall quality to the Big Dogs of the industry. Now, won't some enterprising Russian/Ukrainian outfit please do one in 1/48 scale? Recommended. NOTE: Zvenda and Ilteleri (dunno the speeling) are a partner just like Revil and Monogram so certain Zevezda product will appear as Itteleri product becos its the only reseler outside Russia....

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... |

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 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!

They do purchase, 4 and another 4 on option if i've not mistaken. The whale is comeing as a part of asia tour, it will be in Malaysia AIrlines Decals once it arrives in KLIA. MH leased 2 B737-800 to monitor their effieciency as a part to upgrade their 737 fleeet.

the A380 i showed you earlier is on its Asian Tour, enrouting to Dubai Airshow in late November.
A380 old version is A3XX, and i don't have it. if i'm to decide, i'd forget about fleet upgrade for the moment. get rid of excessive MAS employees. and finally set up a subsidiary airline to serve those useless and unprofitable routes. THEN i think about buying either A380, A350, 787 or 738 or even A320! but anyway, i've got the A380 1:400 diecast model in SIA livery. |

^ yes, they do =D.
In fact, i'm not that sure if they really OWN the plane, but my memory tells me they do operate, perhaps they leased it from somewhere else, not that sure. This post has been edited by db07mufan: Nov 15 2005, 11:41 PM |

no A300s, but A330s. some are scheduled to operate KUL-PEN, although seat factors had been quite low. and yes, they are leased.
old livery, yes. i have 9M-MPD in old livery, now looking for 9M-MPD in the new Hibiscus livery. would also love to get hold of the 9M-MRD Heliconia 772. :wink: |

I'm quite sure MAS do have A300.. Last time I have a set of MAS aircraft models.. Set of 5, B744, B737, A300, Fokker and DC10.. That was... more than 10 years ago.. sigh.. childhood memory..
Wait I'll go take some photos of my old old collection.. cant really afford to buy new Herpa Wings, 1 plane at least rm120.. everytime walk past Nikko only stare outside the window and drip saliva only.. hehee |

DW is making MRD models (yeah, the Heliconia). the MRD models are sold online, not inflight (to date).yup, MPD models sold by MH is limited to 1,000 units - special edition, so-called. but you can always buy some online. there's DW and GJ manufacturing it, if i'm not mistaken. |

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...

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!!

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)
http://s12.invisionfree.com/ScaleModelsMalaysia/ 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 |

It's actually floor wax. haha.. meant to coat the floor with a thin layer of arcylic to protect it's finishing. However modelers are using it as a final coat to protect the paint job.

The kits were actually sponsored by HobbyHQ for the kids otherwise it'll be too expensive for them to mess around with. I'm not sure what's happening with the swap meep tho. I just got to know haha. Hmm I'll have to see what I don't need in my stash. Will you be coming down to KL? |

Will you be coming down to KL? no problem.. the sponsored kits are actually only for kids? can an adult like us have that kits as well if we join the Beginners workshop? .. i wish i can come down to KL... got a lot of "kenduri" during that time...i really need to allocate sometime next year to join such an event in KL...until then.. thanks to you for providing us with the pics.. yup... with over 200 model-kits.. there surely something that you dont need in that stash of yours.. kuman |

Frankly I don't really like the A380 design.. but I don't mind getting a MAS version though.. I would prefer to get a MAS 744 with the Hibiscus Theme.. thats nice

The first A380 will be delivered in early 2007 under a lease deal from its holding company Penerbangan Malaysia Berhad (PMB) and it will be used to provide additional capacity on trunk routes to Europe.

QUOTE(jiew71 @ Dec 13 2005, 01:37 PM) hi there, Depends...but if you are a total newbie, starting from nothing, expect these prices:how moch does it cost's for a newbie to start aircraft modelling? 1. Model kit (let's say 1/72 - lots of choices, not very big) : RM15 (WW2 planes) to RM129 (modern jet fighters) 2. Cement : RM19.90 per bottle (check out at hobby shops if they have cheaper ones) 3. Putty (to cover unsightly seams, if present) : RM9.90 4. Paint : RM9.90 (for Tamiya paints) per bottle. Usually a modern jet fighter model uses say, 6-10 colours! Oh, don't forget the thinner. 5. Paintbrush : don't use cheapo schoolchildren brushes, you need the more expensive artists' brush...but it's OK if you want to learn using the cheap stuff first or alternatively use 6. Airbrush : including the air compressor, may have to cough up up to RM 300 (could be more!) or alternatively use 7. Spray cans : RM29.90 for Tamiya spray cans 8. Assorted tools : cutter, hobby knife, pin vise, sandpaper, emery board, putty knife blablabla.... |

Tamiya one is around RM 20++... IIRC last time i bought...1. Model kit (let's say 1/72 - lots of choices, not very big) : RM15 (WW2 planes) to RM129 (modern jet fighters) 2. Cement : RM19.90 per bottle (check out at hobby shops if they have cheaper ones) 3. Putty (to cover unsightly seams, if present) : RM9.90 as for the cement.. some kits includes a tube of the cement.. but to make assembling easier.. try to get that cement dispenser.. with needele point.. easier to use.. for the models for beginnner.. i would suggest to go and get the elcheapo-china-brand model such as from Kitech/Zhengdefu... those are really cheap and suitable for beginners to practice.... hey i still use them... cheap and easy to find....

Whoops! My mistake...should be 19.90!
Yes the cheapo PRC kits would be useful for ultimate beginners (cheap, reasonably good-looking). Besides, the cheapo kits would become a perfect target for firecrackers...OK not that. Perfect target for testing new techniques in completing your model. I have an old Corsair as weathering testbed. |

Well, anyone can recommend any shop in malaysia selling Dragon Wings? or local websites? US based sites selling those models with delivery fees almost equal to the price of the model.. ie 24usd model with 20usd delivery fees... very expensive.. |

Su-27 Flanker B (1/48), or MIG-29 Fulcrum (1/32) or Macross Zero VF0S (1/72). still undecided.. but i most probably start with the SU-27.. Dragon Wings as for these.. maybe you can try our neighbour- Singapore- they have a distributor there... hmm let me see if i can find the link.. Time Machine Studio - Dragon Distro in S'pore maybe the shipping would be a lil bit cheaper..

When I ran out of space in my showcase, I started stuffing them into boxes and cupboards. When that ran out of space, the models either became "air disaster" victims or were used in "experimentations" (similar to the A-bomb tests at Bikini Atoll). I actually had a whole fleet of the Tamiya waterline series models, including the Hood, Prince of Wales, Rodney, KGV, Yamato, Musashi, etc., but they've all been scuttled. Kuman, just a word of caution about using putty. Don't overdo it. In hot weather, it sorta breaks down and leaves cracks noticeable. |

Yup...dun use to thick putty or it will crack...looks ugly.
And as for handling ur model, try not to do it so often with your hand unless you have had a clear layer over it or the colors will detach. |

QUOTE(Balthasar @ Jan 11 2006, 03:18 PM) Try out HobbyHQ in Ampang there. Very easy to go...in fact just hop into a LRT and head for AMPANG PARK...PUTRA that is... Come out opposite CITIBANK, head towards CITYSQUARE(which is opposite midf building and on top of toys-r-us...its on the third floor like someone already mentioned. Thanks for the suggestion dude.. but I'm looking for diecast commercial aircrafts ie Boeing and Airbus.. I'm not that into warbirds yet.. Will go there sometime soon.. Lotsa great stuff there u dun find elsewhere. Definitely not a waste of time. If u are looking for good quality models, then this is the place u must not miss. Expensive? yes but u are paying for good stuff. They also do have cheaper stuff too but once u tried a good model, anything lower is just no fun. Got my Tiger 1 there...looking for more Love those kits with photo etched parts or brass parts cooooool but tough to put together. Need to organize properly. |

Jack: Yes, you do have a point. But I live in a small house, and aircraft models always seem to take up a lot of space due to their wings. Maybe I'll try to find a bigger box for my remaining models.
Kuman: The putty looks ok. But I'm no expert in this so I'm just saying it looks ok to me. There's also liquid putty available FYI, and I'd recommend that for the fine cracks. |

Hey guys.. Do u think this model is nice?
.jpg) This is a China Airlines A330-200 Special Scheme by Dragon Wings exclusively for AirShop Taiwan.. only 1000 units produced and is sold out.. Now ppl sellling on Ebay damn expensive, and I happen to come across this hk site, selling at HKD488.. worth it? I saw a Phoenix version of this baby as well at Nikko at Midvalley.. RM249 .jpg) Which one is more worth it..? ahh... hard to make decision.. somemore they are so expensive.. |

i no money for airbrush ler.
Using normal spray and paint wif brush. I took the pic but dunno how to load into pc cos i lost the camera software CD. I went surveying for airbrush, and the pen is around 300, and compressor is around 500. Roughly the whole set is 800-900RM. I saw them in ToyCity. I went to Miniture Hobby, and saw an airbrush too but compressor is expensive at 1k, theirs is those bigger compressors. |

its not very detail, i guess that's what infected_sys is saying... yup... the panel line is not that clear... maybe another "macro" shot of the wings/fuselage would clear this up.. i guess its a die-cast... if its a plastics model then its a different story already.. what scale is it? 1/72? thanks.. kuman |

I just bought few online, costed me approx RM500 in total. there goes my ang pau money I got a Dragon MAS 744 "An Experience Redefined" , another Dragon Emirates A343 "World Cup Germany 2006" and a Dragon MAS 772 "Freedom of space", a StarJets MAS A332, and a Phoenix China Airlines A332 "Butterfly Liverly" all of them for RM500 approx Nikko selling about 100 for small Dragon models (ie 737 or A310) Around 150 for large ones ie 747s. In Malaysia, from what I observed, Phoenix is most expensive, Nikko selling at 299+ even for a tiny little A319, then Dragon, more affordable, at around 100~200, then Gemini, 100~150, then StarJets, around 100 as most of their models discontinued, then cheapest I could get is Herpa. Got my Herpa New Generation 772 on board MAS, RM60 only, really value for money, should buy more and sell on ebay , I don't think this New Generation Herpa MAS 772 is available elsewhere yet, maybe is exclusive to MAS, will take some pictures later. |

In Malaysia, from what I observed, Phoenix is most expensive, Nikko selling at 299+ even for a tiny little A319, then Dragon, more affordable, at around 100~200, then Gemini, 100~150, then StarJets, around 100 as most of their models discontinued, then cheapest I could get is Herpa. Got my Herpa New Generation 772 on board MAS, RM60 only, really value for money, should buy more and sell on ebay , I don't think this New Generation Herpa MAS 772 is available elsewhere yet, maybe is exclusive to MAS, will take some pictures later. ya u should take some pic ..... oh the one i saw RM 299 + one is A380 from dragon wings...... maybe its a new product ?? so exp ? |

Weird,so far I've only seen A380 with tiny little MAS logo on the plane, with product ID 55882. Are you sure the one u saw is a Dragon? Yeah the few websites I went to doesn't ship to Malaysia as well, maybe UPS doesn't have a branch here? And if it does ship to Malaysia the shipping fees alone will probably be more expensive than the model price

Ah... 380.. A little.... huge.. isn't it?
My Wishlist..:  Thai International New Livery A340-642 But both Dragon and Gemini didn't do quite well in their model. So I'll wait  Vietnam Airlines B777-2Q8ER  Currently most wanted MAS B747-4H6 "An Experience Redefined"  MAS B747-4H6 "Penang".. I do think MAS's 747 normal scheme is one of the best looking 747.. I might be buying "Kuala Lumpur" or "Seremban" later..  Emirates A340-541 "Fifa World Cup 2006" |

The Hibiscus.. That was few months ago, that time I was about to board a plane to China so I thought I could buy inflight, RM199 for me is a little ridiculous, but now go back.. no more already..
Anyway I'm going to order few starjets MAS planes from Jetway.com, anyone interested? I can buy 1 or 2 more..   This post has been edited by tuRtL3: Feb 28 2006, 05:50 PM |

No Herpa don't have, StarJets is not bad in 1:500 category, considered as good already. I think the official diecast 744 for inflight sales is by GeminiJets, with label "kuala Lumpur", which is almost the same as this StarJets' because they come from the same factory using the same mould if I'm not mistaken

Haha.. Nolar now I shopping at Jetwaymodels.com mah... then while browsing I realized Star Alliance very nice.. then after checking out so many Star Alliance planes came to conclusion Lufthansa A346 is the plane I like most. But the plane is discontinued by Herpa and Sold out on the net, ebay seller selling USD48.99 ex shipping, then Azuddin from MsiaWings told me diecastrunway.com still got plenty of them, its selling at USD28.99, quite cheap la, but if buy 1 plane only, shipping fees expensive lor. So I asking if anyone wants this plane also, then can save some shipping fees ma.

The one onboard s crappy isn't it?
Yes Phoenix does have AirAsia diecast 1:400. They have a Thai AirAsia B733 and now they releasing AK ManUtd A320! I think better get from online shop at US as Nikko here is going to sell at least RM250/plane. MAS Asian Tour A380? U go www.jetwaymodels.com and see, then tell me the model code la, then u multiply the price in USD by 3.7 lor.. then come back here I mail to u maybe charge u little postage fees lor.. that easy |

QUOTE(tuRtL3 @ Mar 18 2006, 07:19 PM) The one onboard s crappy isn't it? woot ! ok ok Yes Phoenix does have AirAsia diecast 1:400. They have a Thai AirAsia B733 and now they releasing AK ManUtd A320! I think better get from online shop at US as Nikko here is going to sell at least RM250/plane. MAS Asian Tour A380? U go www.jetwaymodels.com and see, then tell me the model code la, then u multiply the price in USD by 3.7 lor.. then come back here I mail to u maybe charge u little postage fees lor.. that easy btw the airasia one not so badly done la cause the price is RM 49 ma and giv u one disposable camera CODE NO : D-55882 Price : USD 28.95 = RM 107.115 ....

Okie, I'll contact the seller on Monday probably, I think he's on holiday or something on weekends since he'll never reply my email on these 2 days.
Damn I'm spending a little too much on my planes.. This hobby is expensive..!! |

No, I don't have any, because now I'm shopping at Jetway models, and if you really want it I might be able to get for u lor, but at retail price la, not Azuddin's factory price. But then you might have to pay me a little extra la, because I need to pay for the postage as well. and earn a little to cover this hobby.
But I'm afraid my cousin at US will be boh song, if I ask her to send so many models. This post has been edited by tuRtL3: Mar 19 2006, 09:58 PM |

I'm still considering whether or not to buy the AK320. I'm not a ManUtd fan, but I can see the value of this model shoots up to the sky in very short period.
Then I was informed by my friend that the TG A345 would cost me around Rm200.. crazy.. Then I check out diecast forum saw Phoenix is going to release the Qatar A333 in red colour.. abolutely beauty.. Sigh.. too many to buy, maybe one day I'll end up living on the streets with 1 whole box of model airplanes. Teddie : AK320 still can buy, but selling out fast. AK733 still got at US I guess, but Phoenix Hibiscus, this is real rare. Prepare to pay big bucks for this one. MH772 by herpa, I bought this on my last trip to China, quite cheap only RM60, nice model. |

I think he meant the AK models. I think Dragon 380 is the best among other manufacturer like Herpa Nutmodels etc
Yeah I'm planning to do like what you're planning to do as well, 1 plane per month. But some planes, which is rare, must get first, if not later sold out damn sam tong and some people will go ebay and sell damn expensive. I think all the Phoenix Models special livery are rare, worth to get, Phoenix only make around 600 pieces per model, and they usually make only special liveries. So they'll sold out real quick. Models by Phoenix I think worth to get : 1) AK320 ManUtd 2) Qatar Asian Games livery 3) JAL Olympics livery B773ER 4) TG Star Alliance A333 <-- I want this one but I already have LF A346! ahh! 5) Eva Air B773ER 6) Eva Air Hello Kitty A332 This post has been edited by tuRtL3: Mar 27 2006, 10:06 AM |

Jacky: Thats from MalaysianWings forum right? or Diecastaircraft forum, can't remember I know I just saw these pics yesterday
Yeah thats the Ak320. Nice one but too bad I guess I'll have to pass this one don't have money already for this one. and Yeah! Looney toons!! Thats another Phoenix, Freedom air right? Too bad I just find that A320s are as expensive as B747s, and the size is almost half of the 747s, so its not worth it. db07mufan : Not sure bout Nikko Malaysia price but Jetway Models USA is selling at USD25.95 This is the beauty I want this month:  This is also nice.

Well maybe, but I do think B744 is a very nice model.
I'd say currently my favourite model is the A345 and A346, although A346 is a little too long, but together with Trent 700 it looks really awesome. Unlike most of the A343s which have Trent 500s which looks like hair drying to me, ugly. Well, I'd agree that military jets have more shapes etc. Personally I like F18 Super Hornet. Nice plane it is. I like commercial aircraft because, back at my childhood, I was at the roadside next to the Subang Airport runway almost every weekend. "Plane" is among the first few words that I 1st speak. Other than "apple" "papa" and "mama". lol according to my mum lah. Military jets have different models, but commercial aircrafts have more schemes, liveries etc. More colourful ma, and you even have chance to see the real thing more often, ie, you won't expect to see the real B2, B52,F117, etc in Malaysia right? |

Yeah I think thats the only place you could find, I mean Nikko.
They have branches at MV, Ave K, Atria DJ. They were selling Phoenix at really high prices I've decided not to visit the store anymore until recently I heard they're having sales. You may try your luck there. This post has been edited by tuRtL3: Mar 27 2006, 11:01 PM |

Speaking of self assembled model kit, I think the C3 Sea King ( If not mistaken) on MsiaWings is really nice. ok That turned me on.! |

Hahaha exactly. No, should say, we also can buy 5 or 10 straight away, but after that, the rest of the days of that month we'll have to eat bread and kopi o. Whereas the richmen bought 5 or 10 already still can go golf, movie, pak tor, shopping, buy new handphones etc.
Btw.. MY FIRST 1:400 MODEL FINALLY LANDED TODAY!!!! WATERGUN SALUTE!!! BEAUTY!!! Thai International A345 ChangKiam...HS TLA!! Wahhhh niceee I'm really TURNED ON!!! |

Well this is not my first model, I had tens of Shcabaks and those plastic 1:200 models back when I was only few years old.
One of my fav 1:200 is the BA Lockheed Tristar. Real Beauty. I have 2 of them. Btw Gemini Jets did a real good job on this HS TLA. Very detailed model. Really good. But of course there's some mistake on the mould. Overall rating : 8.5/10 |

I tried to take a few, but the picture end up looking quite bad. The purple colour of the fuselage, because of the flash, will look like blue colour. wait I transfer the pics into my comp.
Regarding the A380, I still waiting for seller's email regarding teddie's AK733, he said he's restocking but din't let me know whether available or not. and to prove I'm not cakaping-aje,  Only one pic, very ugly one I'm not a good photographer and this model is much better than how it appears on the picture.

Wah sad for you.. My MH772 is turning yellowish a little.. argh..
Btw Jacky I have a bad news and a good news for you. Bad news is, the seller said that the Malaysia MH380 is out of stock. Good news is, the one I originally ordered is the last unit, and seller opened the box and inspect the model inside and found that it has some minor paint defect on the model, so he couldn't sell that model to me. 2nd good news is, the new stock for this model is arriving at his store in this week. |

Mufan, yes he does have ManUtd jet, but I'm already purchasing way out of my budget. The total of those models I getting from the store this month is almost RM600.. and my cousin at NY is going to ship for me so I don't want to buy tooo many then the shipping is too expensive later she tak syok.
But don't worry, I got one ManUtd jet, lets see how lah.. if you really really really want it I can sell mine to you |

Plastic model especially those with white livery, tends to turn yellowish easily.. Example my plastic MAS744 and Air NZ 744 and Singapore Airlines 744 and Qantas 744 all turned a little yellowish now, well those models are more than 10 years old though. But my BA old livery B744,B772 and Tristar all looks good as the fuselage is in grey and black.
So conclusion, buy model try to avoid white colour, although white livery to me looks more elegant. |

I'm also seeing those people having large amount of models only, and those people I'm seeing, is seeing other people having the real aircraft! So no point to compare la. There's a chinese saying, "Ren bi ren, qi si ren" Just buy what you desire and those that you can afford lor |

No worries Jacky I'm a member there, and teddie is also.
But the link you provide is the aviation collectibles subforum, hmm mind to mention which thread it is in? It'll be easier for us to search Ah found, I think you meant the one mentioned in Trading Post. Malaysia Airlines Aircraft Model In Hibiscus Livery (Limited Edition) GM171 RM 141 | USD 38* This is a limited edition of a Malaysia Airlines 747-400 aircraft model in a colorful hibiscus livery. An Aircraft is specially painted in this colorful hibiscus livery to mark the launch of "An Experience Redefined" service campaign, introduction of the new First and Golden Club Class seats, in-flight services and facilities. The aircraft model is in 1:200 scale and made of quality weighted plastic. Hogan Wings Plastic Model. (Limited to 1000 units only) (Available onboard Airbus and Boeing) Inflight Temptation This is 1:200, and its RM141, available onboard Airbus and Boeing aircrafts? Hmm.. I guess they meant exclusive for inflight sales only? Well I'm actually quite suprised to know that.. the 1000 pieces of these models is still available. until now.. and also, from the picture.. the colour on the fuselage looks... awful I'd say  This post has been edited by tuRtL3: Apr 25 2006, 01:27 PM |

Wow...This picture certainly looks much better than the one on MAS website. Damn those on MAS's website are actually scanned from the temptation magazine. Shame on them. Don't even have a proper picture of the product they selling, even a ebayer can do much better than them. Boo!
Btw hor... anyone knows if F22 is already in service? It's always been a mystery to me. is USAF the only one who operates them? |
