I recall putting it in one geh, I made sure nothing left in the pastic bags when I throw them and everything is back to the box. strange enough, maybe I left it out the table and it was cleaned away  anyway anywhere that can order spare parts?Hopefully wont cost me half the kit's price, otherwise I might just leave it to be imperfect

Buy some tranparent film at the stationary shop and cut out the parts yourself.. the film should cost u less than Rm1 for an A4 sheet

any guru modding gunpla with metal parts?
Should I apply the metal parts before the paint or after? If I apply first, need to mask the metal part, not very good at it If apply after, afraid super glue and sanding will spoil the airbrush paint

I'll just try my luck, if cant, I'll resort to 3rd party or DIY methods. thinking what to buy next after RG exia, or just finish up decal and panel lining for my MG Astray Red Frame + this RG Exia first, lol.

QUOTE(chaukeng @ May 26 2014, 12:21 AM) Terrible experience buying from gundam.my. He 'forgot' to include one of my RG exia in my parcel and now he is giving me options to either refund me, or i need to pay for my own postage because he claims 'my price cannot give free postage' anymore. Seriously? Which means if i accept the refund, he will be able to sell my unit at a higher price to other buyers, and i will have to buy at a higher price from other seller. Either way, i'm on the losing side. He called his customers in his website as valued customer and are willing to resend any damaged parcel back to buyers (as claimed). And now he is asking his customer to pay for his own mistakes? Seriously this is so irresponsible coming from such an established seller. Anyone knows whether he have an account in lowyat? I think he got facebook. By the way, please take this matter to the seller directly as this is kinda off-topic in here... better stop this before the mods do This post has been edited by ngcheechong: May 26 2014, 12:39 AM

^ less part, but maybe then won't really skim on the surface details I am guessing it is more akin to 1/48 mega size, so prolly price should be nice (whether it has been discussed before and I forgot about it, that is entirely my fault, getting forgetful  )
