and about this one...
you dont wait till the blue part come off in the water then only take the decal out...
how you wanna applied the decal when there is no more the blue paper...u might end up damage the decal or worst accidentally fold the decal

you soak a bit inside water...leave a while then use nipper bring it out from the water along with its blue paper...to the kit and use cotton buds to slowly remove it from the blue paper and into the kit surface where you want the decal to be place.

Q1: no it does not!
Q2: ppl usually prefer oil based becoz of the choices of color and it dried off faster
Q3: use hobby thinner onli, dun buy industry thinner or u risk melting the kit.

no AB u cannot do so. And yah it is cheaper but u r required to used the retarded mild along or it will make spider web.

okie.... so i need to use retarded also,, how abouut ratio for primer / thinner /retarded ? does paint also need to use retarded?

nah paint should be good enough to stay liquid form but just dun leave it open for too long! ratio i also not sure just adjust urself loh.

Okie okie... give a try first

anyone assemble fighter jet model kit b4 ??
how was it plz share with me i juz m interested in which manufacture i should pick which i shouldn't

@ Tsubasa66 : i've built a few revell fighter jet kits before, there are quite nice and fun to build if u have patience.

the older dated kits have less detail and the plastic quality is not as nice as newer ones, since revell is just starting to pick up the pace in kit runner quality....but seriously, the only parts i had trouble with where tiny ones like wheels. other than that i think the jets are quite a nice build.

for first time fighter jet builders, i suggest revell. the brand produces kits that are suitable for every level of modelling

Ah.. Another question. I've applied the water slide decal. Possible to remove it ar? I put one which doesn't look too good la

i thk if u wan to take out then hard to use back d
how to remove....... i duno.

Haha sorry z3r0717 & 0300078 about the flat part,
Is it recommanded to apply cement stick those modeling and sand it to smooth without AB or spray ?

let me correct ur question...
i think u mean cement the parts and sand it till it's smooth and just leave it rite?
it's up to u... Once u sand means u will c scratches.. so if u dunwan spray or AB then u will see scratches lor

I see, because my friends always call me sand sand sand .... But I didn't AB or spray 1 ..... Somore he recommand me use those nail polish to polish it after sand, I have try it but also c those scratch there.

Anywhere thank you z3r0717

u can but tat doing so will leave scratches, another smart way to cover up is to sand the whole model kit add some weathering effect and a flat top coat!
Walah u get a really cool mecha!

There is a few brand you can try. The most good quality is the tamiya. Others like hasegawa, trumpeter, revell, dragon and airfix. Recommended is tamiya, hasegawa and airfix.

Added on May 14, 2008, 10:50 pmI ve seen this comp before in 1U toycity. And you can try KLCC and midvalley toycity. There is one hobby shop in astria damansara which the owner using one of this. You can ask him to recommend. He is friendly. You can ask mr. low hobby HQ in city square, ampang. Saw one there and he demo to me. Abit noisy for me. Try this website also --> www.hobbiescorner.com. A local website. So should be cheap in delivery charge.

thx bros
actually i m looking for F22
some shop say revell is the best

Oh ya ya that top coat, is it will cover the scratch after sanding? Because i found out that, it will cover the marker stroke that we drawing. So I think ( or hope ) will be like that.
