I'm currently building the MG Kampfer and was thinking of replacing the stock thrusters with metal ones but I can't find a seller that carries them.
Anybody here know of a shop or seller here that sells them?

Measure your kit thrusters (if any) as a guideline as each thruster have listed dimension. Also you can short down the list by show ready stock only in the search page.

Where is your location? If you are around Bandar Utama, you should drop by ICW and have a chat with Ray Loke wink.gif

Though this is posted in the wrong thread, i'll just answer it for u since its straightforward.

With exception to certain brand, in general avoid using spray paint u buy from hardware shop. Those paint r meant to be apply on harder surfaces like wood, metal, etc, even if it stated plastic its generally for harder plastic type (lego for example). Gunpla plastic is just too soft, the chemical in some of those type of paint is just too strong and could damage (melt) gunpla plastic.

Note that i said with exception to certain brand. The only other brand of paint that will work that i know of is Krylon and the only places i could find them is in Ace Hardware, regular hardware shop may not hav em. If u do insist on trying out different brand of paint, pls spray it on the runners 1st n c how it turn out.

I don't know about melting. I used Anchor and Pylox brand without problems.
Just need to use the right technique.

You can also try this trick. No painting needed.
