it chloroform cement. it wont stick your hand but when u apply in plastic, it reaction & melt the plastic.
recoment to use Mr Cement. It simple to apply, Put 2 pieces together then apply a layer of the gap/ joinment, firm it for 3-5min, it will stick hard.

Mr metal primer need apply to Metal or PE (photo etch) surface bfore apply paint.

tamiya cement (white cap more thinner layer than orange cap) for u to glue accessories on the tank.
Normal, Tank & accessories need to separately paint to achieved good effect. after paint, u can use this Tamiya cement to glue all small accessories.  U can apply the cement (as putty) in the Gun barrel & let it dry. after dry u can sand it to remove the seam line.  icon_rolleyes.gif

Mr Mark setter allow u to melt the decal (no need to toap coat) to the paint.

beli satu bottle each can use very long, except the tamiya cement, which it dry very fast compared to other cement.

A couple of weeks back, I went to Daisheng near Petaling Street there. You see, Daisheng was THE place to search Tamiya based products as well as the customization tools and equipments.Ultraman too.

I used to walk to the shop after school to get my models.

To my surprise, they have already converted into a wholesale shop, selling pasar malam kinda toys. I noticed a few Tamiya boxes, very old ones, but they were those 4WD testing machines.

I asked the current towkay, why the change of focus. He said, model kits dont have any market anymore.

How sad. Another chilhood memory ruined.

few year back, Daisheng already give up modeling kit & start selling Kids toy.
the only one still carry the military kit is Hobby HQ.
52-1, Jalan Metro Pudu, Fraser Business Park,55200,KL
but stock very very limited bcos this market is getting smaller.  sad.gif

I think the towkay is now the son right?

remember those days when I saved my lunch monies and worked in pasar malam to buy TFs and tamiya models.

TFs at Hankyu Jaya and Tamiya is Daisheng
