apasal benang ni sangat senyap ah???

anyone got the hawkeye? not my cup of tea. looking forward to hm's tomcat though...

hm already has the mig15 and mig 21... and i wish they chose a nicer scheme than this for their maiden mig23. they seem to like boring schemes (just look at the number of grey vipers they've produced!)

yups. i don't fancy herpa charging double the price for what is essentially the witty su-27s. but seriously... this hobby is getting way too expensive

here is his younger brother...

haha... yeah, no hawkeyes. mebbe coz it's a prop... plus hm has priced 'em pretty steeply.

that shark mouth is awesome!

bumping this thread back to the first page with this awesome looking (though a fantasy scheme) virgin atlantic concorde. have a good weekend everyone!

yeah... i must say that for their price, the italeri, altaya and amercoms are pretty good.

hmm... why this thread so quiet?

stop buying starbucks and chatime

hm sudah keluar tomcat... fighting checkers

not just taobao... everywhere also the same. olympus has fallen... and before london falls, our ringgit has fallen. for every dollar we already have to pay an additional ringgit. so by simple calculation, you would be paying an additional RM80 for a $80 diecast. but hm's releases have been rather uninspiring.

anyway. on the civvie front, the air asia a322 "line" 9m-ahr has landed and the a333 9m-xaa "skycity" will be landing soon. merry christmas and happy holidays...

haha... cute yeah, but not my cup of tea. waiting to see how their fighting checkers cat and anniversary superbug turns out. may consider the ea-6 too if it's well done

nice pair, bro. self built?

well done!

the stand came with the kit?

addition to the civvie collection... air asia 'line' a320-200 9m-ahr.

ya, the phoenix is nice... and i think jcw will be doing the diecast version. i'm hoping they do the expedia livery (9m-afg). will be picking up my skyliner city (9m-xaa) soon... hopefully.

let's spice up this thread with the inaugural tomcat by hobby master. i present you... vf-211 fighting checkmates:









an excellent effort by hobby master. it looks and feels exactly like a century wings model with minor additional details. they've addressed the wing sleeve issue that has plagued century wings tomcats from time immemorial, but the seam gap below the rio seat remains, as with the gap between the pallet and fuselage. even the century wings stand fits this model perfectly. one minor peeve is the use of gloss instead of matte finish for the detailing. does it make the more expensive century wings irrelevant? nope... century wings can still hold its own with regard to the crispness of its detailing (dunno how else to describe). overall an impressive first effort by hobby master but personally, hobby master cheapo stand is a major letdown. a sleek pseudo chrome stand to accompany this piece would've been nice. as it is, it feels like a bentley at chow kit road...

yups... it's an excellent model, for sure. but the sliding ringgit sure ain't doing us any favours...

hahaha... agreed!
