I respectfully nominate Herr Boelcke, he does the most amazing things with his kits. He might be pursuaded to build one on commission. If you're into armor, I suggest you take a look at the following sites:

One question: where can I buy some Testors brand enamel spray paint or Gunze Sangyo acrylic bottle paint in Manila? Need to find some to detail some untis I'm modifying.

 

I haven't seen any Testors enamel spray paint here in a long long time. Some Gunze Sangyo acrylic bottles can be found in Special Toys and Hobbies. They have branches in Festival Mall, Ali Mall, Virra Mall, SM City North and in Raon.

bro gusto ko sana mag hobby ng scale modeling or diorama,how do i start ba? thnx

 

You might want to buy a few cheap kits, but it will depend on what your interests are. There are military aircraft, armored fighting vehicles, gundam, airliners, figures, cars, ships etc. Some of the cheaper kits are the old Academy and old Tamiya kits as well as Trumpeter brands. Start assembling them and try to paint them if you can. Look around in the internet in sites like hyperscale, aircraftresourcecenter, missing-lynx, finescalemodeler and imps-bac and you can find several how-to articles there.

This is what you do...decide first on what you want to concentrate on...one project at a time. Aircraft and ships would be a little more difficult than armour:

 

1. research -- go over photographs, history records, pictures of the finished scale models by other people and then decide how you want to do the model; the more detailed you can imagine it the better;

 

2. look for a similar but cheap kit of the same model of the same scale, like I buy some academy kits for practice ---

 

3. prep it, paint and assemble it; doesn't have to be neat but the point is for you to familiarize yourself with the scale model and problems you may have making it --- I, for example have attached elevators the wrong way in my first p-51 and UH 1....do this para lumabas lahat nang problema

 

4. decide if you're gonna need extras --- extra equipment, detailed resin part upgrades, is some fabrication necessary? and then make a grocery list of everything you need and purchase everyrhing, don't start until you have all the equipment;

 

5. purchase your real kit and work on it---ayan may experience ka na, you can give the practice model to some street kid, if it really looks bad you can even blow it up :) :) :)

 

I know some people who can do their practice kit as well as their real kit, a quick glance won't tell you which is which.

 

 

Hope this helps

Does anybody know where I can get Philippine air force decals?

 

Also I'd like to ask around if the Philippine Air Force had any Douglas Skyraiders (Sandy)? I'd like to make one in PAF markings...nakita ko so far Texans lang e.

 

You can go over the site below to see all the PAF planes placed in service:

 

http://www.angelfire.com/ga/batwentyone/

 

For decals, you can try searching the internet, or just buy blank decal film and print them. Please go back a few pages for instructions on how to print your own decals.

 

You could also mask and paint the logos on.

 

Hope this helps!

 

Happy New Year Guys!

 

Doc, have your relatives blown up your box of old scale models yet?

Meatball6,

 

Years ago our club created a team to make PAF decals for IPMS-Bert Anido members. They were, without exaggeration, the most accurate PAF decals ever made that I know of. One of the consultants was a retired PAF general who helped standardize the PAF winged diamond. Sadly, the team didnt make any more decals after that, and the decals themselves (even bits of it) have become very very hard to find.

 

We still have members who do PAF decals on their own, though. One is Tauguair, who even designs what-if PAF decals for printing via computer.

 

You can still buy PAF decals off the net, though. Hi Decal of Poland makes 1/72 markings for a PAF F-86D (Item HD72036). Superscale used to sell markings for 1/72 PAF P-51 Mustang, and 1/48 and 1/72 PAF F-5A Freedom Fighter, but theyre no longer in circulation. Cutting Edge Decals came out with a 1/48 decal set for a PAF OV-10A Bronco.

 

A local company -- Crusader Decals --- issued their one and only product --- PAF winged diamonds, back in the late 90s. But you can hardly see a copy of this now.

 

There are also kits with Philippine markings. Airfix recently re-issued thei BN Islander/Defender kit with Philippine Navy decals. You can order this through JMNs Hobby Shop. Fujimi also came out with a two-in-one F-86 kit, one of which is in PAF markings.

 

Hope this helps.
