it is not necessary to use primer sometimes..
i have one model almost two years without primer, still going strong.
if industrial i strongly reccommend you to use ANCHOR brand. easier to handle. SAMURAI, TOA are hard to use ..

but take note, different primers have different effects on the outcome of the color..

Just let me know if you need stock. I may be able to help you out in getting them. BTW, 10mm Tamiya masking ape costs RM10. The length is 18m. But I really do recommend buying the masking tape as it can save you time redoing the paintjob.

tamiya masking tape is a MUST. don't attempt other brands as it is considered suicide..

Oh okie, then will go to toycity in mines this weekend to get the stuffs
Thanks a lot

No problem at all.

wah cham2020, your modelling skills really upgraded much since the 1st time I saw your 1st model car which you posted...

Here are the completed pictures. Enjoy.
Not much was modified. I only changed the rim color, tinted the rear side window and that was about it.

nice clean look of the mustang. would like to see someone to mod it to look like kitt. ha ha.

I agree it would look cool. But, I may not be able to find the rims and rear spoiler. The rest may be able to b done with some resin casting and putty.

tendang balik ke atas

just wondering, now that toycity has bombed out (among tamiya and fujimi), where do you go to get your fix on plastic car models?
besides tamiya underground. where else?
and anybody know anywhere, where i can find revell kits?

and industrial spray cans? go find this brand called nippon pylox, its really good. A tad expensive from the normal anchor, but their colour range is good. Available at most ACE hardware shops.

Here are the pics, guys. The car ain't perfect. The bumper broke while I was remvong the molded on grille. Luckily it was not too major. Anyhow, here are the pics. c&c are welcomed.

Oh. Dove. I have one. Very very old. Silver. Now become grey.

Oic but d silver one doesn't have that effect, only d black one does or maybe it's coz of d way i spray, dunno

Did you primed the body?

Nope, din do that...if u notice the bonnet, d color is a bit of due to my thin layer or paint, can c d defect of the plastic
