Well, if you wan big and detailed ones, go for 1/350 scale. I got myself Tamiya's King George V, Musashi, Bismarck and Missouri plus Trumpeter's Arizona. The Tamiya ships costs RM199 apiece and the Arizona is RM99. Or if you are really rich, you can buy resin ones, costing something like RM500!

Err... the Iowas are fossil fuel (oil!)-drinking beasts...not nuclear-powered.

hey dun talk so much show us pic

That would have to wait until I got my camera back from my cousin!

haha ok then.......... update us when u hav picture....

hahha .
my collection were destroyed too when my cuzs came to visit. nvtheless, i will try and post them here. anyone here knows what's a nice 1/700 ship to start with? my budget is around rm100 and below. It's has to be Tamiya tho. I've not been in touch with this hobby for so long.
I started modelling 6 years ago when i was 11. then stopped due to lack of funds. i decided to start modelling again!!!!!!!! yes!!!!!!! cant wait to start with my first model...!@!@

I would suggest you to go for Tamiya's Battleship Yamato. Furthermore, Tamiya has just released a new kit for the Yamato. Maybe i would purchase another Yamato and my old kit to be rename it as Musashi..... Hahahaha.......

any near accurate estimation of the kit price? im going to college soon so i might start this hobby again. what cement do you use? what's the price?

If you purchase from HobbyLink Japan, it would cost you around RM110 including shipping charges. I'm using Mr.Cement glue cos its cheap and its quality is the same as Tamiya's cement which is much more expensive. Only Rm9.90 and I bought from Hobby HQ in Plaza Ampang,KL. If you purchase from the Tamiya outlet in the leading shooping mall, i guess it would be a little bit expensive and perhaps they have no current stock as well.

oooo...now im really interested. i know tamiya cement is very expensive. My first model is a german gaz car by tamiya. i ruined it by using super glue!

another thing , where can I get Tamiya Yamato kit? somwhere near subang jaya.

You can get it in any Tamiya outlet in the Klang Valley. Or else you can get it from their HQ (DaiSheng) which is in Petaling Street, KL.

ok thanks. will try to go there soon.

ya daisheng..... u can join their member rite ?? can get discount.... last time i bought my Auto art Evo VII ther........ it cost me RM 250 + ..... kinda reasonable the price... not so exp heh heh

and i found this
this is bismark rite ?

Supposingly yes, but, it might be the Battleship Tirpitz.... Anyway, both are the same.....

Yeah, I can safely say that that is the Bismarck. Tirpitz has a different camo scheme. I guess that must be a promotional photo of a 'full-build' 1/350 Bismarck sold by Tamiya as it lacks the large swastikas on the forecastle and the stern.

yea i saw some other battleship which looks 90% same as this but diff color .... ship also hav diff scheme one ha? i thought oni uniform and tanks hav haha

woot ! this thread dead ah ?

Not many interested in ww2 warships i suppose, and thats why its already dead. lol~

This might not be related to WW2 but yesterday i saw a couple of Aircraft Carrier at 1/800 scale (very small i think).. they have quite a number of model....
including the New USS Enterprise, USS George Washinton, USS KItty Hawk, USS Abraham Lincoln and a couple more...

anyone interested?

kuman

Are those from AR2 (Manufacturer) ?
