Thank you WingNut

Sharing another recent piece.... E2C HAWKEYE of the REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE AIR FORCE !








and the model in 1/72 scale....






and the actual aircraft !

anyone knows where i could possibly find a F-15 Eagle model?

oh wow... that looks awesome!

should i add this into my rsaf fleet? hmm...

err... can be more specific or not? mokit or diecast? any particular manufacturer or model? budget?

lol sorry but unsure about its specifics.

isn't into aircraft model collecting but is only very interested in getting that one F-15 T___T

any recommendation T____T

i'm looking at between RM200 - RM300?

personal preference, boss. but i'm guessing you want a ready-to-display model and with rm200-300 budget, it opens up many possibilities.

diecast:

the top of the arrange at the moment would be the diecast (metal) models by hobby master... but those are out of your budget and costs approx rm400+ so i'll leave that out.

what falls squarely into your budget would be the witty wings (and gemini jets... which ultimately used the witty mould anyway) eagles... but since witty has gone out of business, good luck tracking them down.

and the sub-rm200 would be the dragon model. less detailed but overall a good place to start if you're just starting to build your collection but again, not easy to track them down, at least not in malaysia.

plastic/resin:

definitely below your budget and you'll probably be getting at least 3 for below rm200. i don't have any but the perception (not sure if that's true) is that the plastic/resin models do not last as long as diecast models. you could try the easy model series.

have fun and we hope to see your inaugural eagle up posted in here soon!

cheap & decent quality. weapon set excluded. price from rm 60-65...1/72 scale...good for beginner.

Great to see dm101 haul more aircraft in. I taught everyone stop, it look like I think too much.

not stop le... gotto be selective. sigh... in a year prices have jumped by more than 30%

=OO where can i get this and what material is it?

That only plastic, so it very cheap.
The disadvantage is all model are juz for display, no pilot inside the cockpit,
can't open the cockpit, and didn't include any payload of this Easy Model brand.
The good is low budget and good for display, acceptable painting.
Local is hard to find, can search at TaoBao if you wish.

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.

tiger 1, how durable are the plastic models? do they use slide on decals or...?

so far only EM f14 series come with weapon pack.

err... the anti glare grey panel on the nose cone for that tomcat is grossly misaligned and there's really not much detailing done. the ordnance looks bland

Not sure about EM Aircraft

But these 2 EM Helicopters I got are

Yup sure good on their heli series.
I also have these two heli, juz KA-50 different decal.

nice!

i got the amercom helicopter collection choppers and they're a far cry from these easy model models

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

there are pros n cons for diecast vs plastics, i guess. admittedly my only plastics were old kits... and they didn't age well
