That's quite impossible. Which area are you from? Mid Valley alone has around 2 shops selling..

somewhere around ampang.
Bought already at a hardware shop near my house lol, wasn't looking hard enough before that.
But I still can't find tamiya panel line accent around times square, most of the shop out of stock and not planning to restock ....

You can get the panel line accent at Tamiya Underground @ One Utama. Last I went there (2 days ago), they had all three colors.

Thank you, will definitely take a look.

Guys, which brand/type of sandpaper and grit u guys usually use for sanding off nub marks? need some advice on proper sanding & buffing techniques. And is it ok to use some cheap Eagle brand sandpaper for sanding?

Hi sifus, I have just noticed that some of the zippo lighter fluid is fake and I think the one I bought is fake.
Does fake lighter fluid affects the kit's plastic? scared to use zippo now.

If you are not going to be painting, I don't think you should be sanding it as it will cause scratches IMO

I just want to remove nub marks and with proper grit there won't be any scratches if I buff it in the end. So I was wondering what grit is the best to start and finish.

What you looking for? I also noticed recently it is getting more difficult on getting some hobby supplies . Most order from China tabao now...

Trying to order beginner stuff since they are selling cheaper and have more variety than the ones i have found online.

Been using Tamiya panel line accent for a few kits, but not satisfy with the result. Especially the inconsistency of the paint applied on the lines itself. What markers that i can try out ? Didn't like the gm01 and gm02 since the lines are very thick when panel lining the kits. Any sifus here have recommendations for me?
