eh btw, any simple tips in masking, especially cockpit glass? I am not using Tamiya or any hobby specific brands btw, so am i missing something wonderful here?

Also, those curvy area. How does one mask it nicely? I took me some time to fully cover such area, so i am hoping is there any easier method/s of doing it icon_question.gif

yup. bcos some said copy or upgrade from zvezda, especially the decal.

wooo, revell mahal lo....OK i get zvezda. LOL

loolllll


In any case, the kits that are cheap are:

PST
Condor
Amodel

Zvezda, Ace Model, Italeri, are those I find it to be fair-priced offerings.

As for Revell, ART Model, Modelsvit, etc, those are on the expensive side tongue.gif

yup.

but i notice that zvezda T50 decal very less & simply, unlike hobbyboss & revell, more accurate.

my priority now is to collect the whole 1/72 Russia missile, radar & command vehicles from modelcollect.  rclxm9.gif

Zvezda sometimes takes shortcuts with their kits. Su-47 is one with such flaws. When compared to drawings scaled down to 1/72, the details and accuracy of mold is even better with Hobby Boss, and they offered an even lower price compared to Zvezda tongue.gif

But at least they produced Su-39, which I am more than happy to obtain biggrin.gif now waiting for more Grach as I intent to make it a squadron, for the glorious purpose of hoarding laugh.gif

Finally done the machine gun unit for Myanmar Army Type 59D with Reactive Armour as on parade early this year. Trumpeter Type 59/69 sharing similar spruce as I get both and comparing it one come with extra cage armour while other add in 3 crews. Since both sold around RM65/each from Sandakan. Just get both to save on postage. Type 80 is different machine even when they share one single large spruce.

That is a camo most won't see, surely. Lovely one, I must say thumbup.gif

that whole tank-is-harder-than-ship only applies to 1/35 tanks, right guys? Surely 1/72 tank is easy to build tongue.gif

Just order my Airfix Chi Ha and African Korp 1/72 with Ace MT-LB (6MB) from HHQ. Hope to see it by this weekend by pos. Chi Ha tank will compliment my early Japanese infantry of Malayan Campaign. Ace Kit are not cheap a 1/72 scale is about the same price as a normal trumpeter 1/35 kit but it a rare model. It arrival the next day!

surely the MT-LBM is still available with HHQ, right?

That Ace MT-LB track is a pain to assemble. Better do it first the bottom wheel and the track before putting anything on top. The single link is hard to do, so use the extra medium track link and hot air blower (your hair blower) to soften it and bend into the wheel. The many handle, I just use the network cable cut out and bend using plier to put into place after drilling it. Can use hand drill or dremel but mark it and drill a small hole. Will never buy another ace kit again after working on that track. PST track is much better.

LOL sabar2 laugh.gif
I am already okay with what Ace has to offer though, so I tahan je lah tongue.gif (also, since i already have plenty of Ace for now LOL) it is rather normal I reckon that Ace (and PST) do not supply wire for handle and wire, for example.

There are another 2 ZSU-23-2 in HHQ, it that yours? If so, that is an easy kit to assemble biggrin.gif

I am still asking Uncle to reserve Gaskin, and those 3 BMPs. Not enough moolah to haul altogether tongue.gif

MT-LB is an older kit of Ace, hence the single link and length track as compared to the recent ones that come with vinyl.

Also that one good looking plane.

I don't have problem with bending, it just to stick the PE part to plastic i have problem with. sweat.gif

guys, need your opinion here. i'm looking for a model of multirole fighter, single sitter model. between the choices was:
Rafale
Su35
F15
F18
F22
F35

the Su35 sure looked sexy as hell with gray-toned polygon camo, but a plain F15 & F22 did looked sexy too! please give me your opinion. thanks biggrin.gif

edit: oh yeah, one more thing, for tanks, meng's T90A or BMP-T? challenger looked pretty good too.
thanks again  rclxms.gif

whynotboth.jpg tongue.gif

F-22 would fit the bill since it is the 5th gen fighter thumbup.gif
BMPT would be my pick, lawa woo

Will probably start by next week. Need to transfer the items to rented house in PD, so I can do the modeling over there after work hours.

And at last, got my final 4 Su-25 for my squadron biggrin.gif
