QUOTE(GameFr3ak @ Apr 17 2017, 07:43 PM) 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 ....

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.

QUOTE(naith @ May 4 2017, 10:47 PM) 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.

QUOTE(~C.W.S~ @ May 9 2017, 12:32 PM) 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?
