got my first set of witty wings (f18a). dunno whether it is a qc issue or whether it is expected of witty wings models, but some of the attachments do not seem to fit in properly (too tight/too loose)

the f18a sure has a lot of tiny bits, especially for its landing gear. although i could do away with the headache of attaching those tiny bits by displaying the model in flight mode, i much prefer displaying it in all its landing gear glory. but if i glue 'em bits, it would effectively mean that i won't have the luxury of flight mode in the future

any advice, sifus?

thanks for the advice. much appreciated

yups! did the exact same thing for my witty models. since they're on display and i don't take them out often, those not too loose parts i just let them be. only glue those bits that gets detached by mere gravity pull.

err bro... i think he mentioned 1/100 at the beginning. only strikermac's gaincorp's su-47 berkut is 1:72...

j-20 very rare i suppose because not much information about the aircraft. i suppose only china companies carry them. found one on ebay J-20 but the quality looks so-so only.

wow... at 1:100 scale, the b2 would be HUGE!

wah... one is in usd109 (ebay) one is in rm92 (taobao). 4x!!!

myhobbyhouse at subang... but selection of military jets limited to witty wings, and limited models (can check out their website first).

the diecast shop at plaza idaman is adilniaga (see blu3hamm3r's earlier post). i just listed myhobbyhouse but between mhh and diecast empire, you're better off at diecast empire (myhobbyhouse caters more to civil aviators)

depends on what you want and what is within your budget...

liquidsny... is not only buy expensive model. most important aspect is that it's within your budget and you're happy. no point buying expensive stuff only to put yourself heavily in debt. some people just love building their own models while others it's because of budget constraints. whatever it is, this hobby caters for all from hobbyboss kits to century wings

well, it depends. some people pay more attention to the detailing rather than the number of parts. i mean some even repaint complete models for real-life accuracy. admire you guys who have the patience and precision to build the models (and dioramas). i'm hopeless at that so gotto depend on diecasts for my military jet fix...

the man from down under has surfaced

terrible skills is still better than no skills. i once used an oil-based spray paint and you can guess what that did to my plastic model! macam kena napalm.

anyway, that said, even diecasts come with some plastic parts... although generally the quality is better than hobby kits.

some poison to share

yups! took this pic sometime back but only now got my lazy butt to post the pic...

astute observation. yup, the centre column are all 1/100s.

thanks

what camera you using, bro? mine is s4. hehe.
