One could opt to ask in Malaysia Military Diecast Community in facebook. Surely there are a lot of people that one could find that wanted to sell 1/72 F-15 Eagle.
Easy Model is a great way to start. They are ready made Trumpeter/Hobby Boss kits (depending on the item), so one could just open the box, affix it to the stand (if provided), and be done with it.

QUOTE(WingNut @ Feb 6 2016, 01:51 AM) tiger 1, how durable are the plastic models? do they use slide on decals or...? As fragile as plastic kit gets. But the box it comes with does protect the ready-made kit from damage. I do believe they are decals, but do correct me if I am wrong. As for plane, I didn't get any from Easy Model since none interest me (they don't have modern Russians  ), but I did snagged the Mi-24 Hind. It is rather okay, I'll say. I managed to pry open the cockpit and put in a couple of pilots there, do a permanent gears up option on it, and put it on a stand. A Hind in flight is a Hind ready to fight

QUOTE(strikermac @ Feb 18 2016, 03:11 PM) Taobao was available for RMB 199 (the cheapest) for this particular aircraft a month ago. That is loosely translated into around MYR 200, a bargain, I'd say. Now it is only two left from that seller. QUOTE(WingNut @ Feb 19 2016, 12:20 AM) terebo or gaincorp, bro? it's a colossal aircraft, this... especially when placed side by side with a sr71. nice catch! looking forward to more rusky flanker variants... and the pakfa now that the actual airframe is finally going into mass production (keeping fingers crossed). Terebo. Getting Gaincorp would be the cherry on top of a cake, but sadly it is not available anymore. IINM identifying Gaincorp can be done by the extended refueling probe, right?

QUOTE(WingNut @ Feb 19 2016, 10:39 AM) boss... rm199 is only rm130! damn cheap! not the refueling probe... the different colour on the starboard verticle stabs, and the lack of elevation markings for the horizontal stabs on the fuselage, me thinks  And that is why I didn't wait to haul it  Those are the markings that can be seen as differences, from what I read. Gaincorp did made three different versions (albeit with similar scheme), with the fadest one is the closest to the actual ones. The extended fuel probe on all three colour variants is the one we could easily identified if the mold is produced under Gaincorp label. But then, that's that. RMB 199 converted into MYR, with add in the shipping, as I said, would be around MYR 200, since that is price I got. A fair price I'd say

QUOTE(WingNut @ Feb 22 2016, 10:06 PM) a break from the military scene to bring you one of jc wings finest (if not the finest) 747-400. the jal " disneysea"... [attachmentid=6029999] That is a lovely livery, surely it cost an arm and a leg  You know, I kinda feel like getting some airlines planes, but those beauty in 1/72 is rather bloody expensive

QUOTE(WingNut @ Mar 3 2016, 09:11 AM) okay... thanks! by the way... i don't think there are airliners in 72 scale. it's either the 100 (rare) or the 50 (even rarer). dunno about you but the disneysea ranks as one of my favourite schemes. i have to admit that i've been waiting for this scheme for quite sometime. anyway... my list of favs, in no particular order, is as follows: (i) jal disneysea; (ii) sia tropical; (iii) mas hibiscus; (iv) mas heliconia; and (v) mas blue ribbon. Amodel does 1/72 airliner kits. But being Amodel, it is even harder to make it acceptable for 1/72 airliner, being huge and all.

Thank you for the kind words. My preference would always be for ground forces, but the occasional add on for aircraft isn't bad, if the price is right  Recently snatched Revell 1/72 MiG-31 for MYR 60 and Trumpeter 1/72 Il-28 for MYR 20. Personally I find those are great catches  In other note:
4 diecasts 4 model kits All RuAF
