aiks sorry.. guess they doesn't allow hotlinking

nvm pussy lover already provide them

TM always stock up all of their 3 topcoat..
sell them for RM30
and one of the hobby shop at city square there also sometimes sell topcoat for RM24..forgot the shop name..not really friendly also the uncle there..lol

there is no real process of applying topcoat..its a spray can..so you need to apply them like you spray a spray paint lo..so meaning no need any kind of tools for applying topcoat

but you can always put the topcoat can in hot or warm water few minutes before you spray them into you kits..its make the topcoat spray more smooth

Another shop at Sg Wang (6th Floor) selling RM133 for Zaku II. Yesterday saw it.

That shop... Buy at your own risk
(risk of getting rude manners from the boss)

I dont get it lar. what risk is there anyways? If u know what u're looking for, then go in, pick up the box, pay, walk out with it. Don't even need to say a word, or interact much to get any form of rude manners at all.
