flying mule doesn't deliver to malaysia

taobao mebbe is clone version?

haha... yeah. i give up. go back to buying 72 scale diecast...

sorry for the lousy photo... cuma mau kasi bump thread ni balik ms 1. overall a very nice model although i) i'm not a fan of high gloss, and ii) i personally feel that the red is too bright. hm has certainly been improving with each release and the fitment on this model is close to perfect. will try to take comparison shots with the witty ms molly during the weekend... if i don't sink into my beanbag first. 'njoy!

it does kinda look like the firefox... although the elangated fuselage doesn't quite appeal to me. i prefer the raptor...

long time no see you in here. welcome back

size comparison... 72 (left) vs 32 (right). finally got my hands on a 4d model. nice but imho not worth its price.

ya... i love the tomcat! nice to see the insides (cockpit, radar, engines, cannon etc) but a pain to put together

if i do find the space, i may hunt for the bbi 18th scale tomcat someday

the most obvious deficiency of this model at a glance is missing the side steps (the grey squares above the port intakes). there is also a lack of detailing on the mlg's and ordnance. the price i got including shipping is about usd160... so not exactly cheap for an all plastic model. the material used also more like modelling plastic than abs, that's why really not worth the price. i may enhance this model in the future as there's a whole lot of room for improvement. anyway, i guess christmas comes early for me

hmm... seems most people retire from collecting diecast aircraft already. gotto be very selective nowadays since prices are up. jcw using ex-witty wing's mould also up. this hobby is getting way too expensive... and it's not just because of the weak ringgit. price seems to go up up up but quality seems to go down down down. i guess this hobby will probably die out in a year or two... if it hasn't already. sad, but true.

no la... a lot of ppl already quit and i don't think the number of newbies joining the hobby is enough to bring the numbers back up. you can also see the trend from manufacturer's production numbers. what used to be produced in the 1500-2000 unit range has now dropped to about 500-750 only. sometimes manufacturers cannot avoid price increase because of the hike in raw materials, including manpower cost. the industry is still very much labour intensive as most manufacturers do not see the overall cost-benefit in automation. end of day collectors will still buy what we want... just that with price increase, we may be forced to be more selective. you, my friend, are in a different league altogether... talking about autoart when you're actually buying pocher

1 pocher is 1 more than what any other collector has, bro

hahaha... JUST f14? at the moment everyone seems to be churning out f14s... century wings, hobby master, jcmilitary, calibre wings, tfm. good luck!
