To all Filipino modelers here

Hi guys, I'm here from Manila and I was just wondering if I have any kababayans here in this forum :smokin:

Anyway, do any of you guys know any Pinoy based scale modeling website? I was also wondering if a local store here is selling any after market tamiya detail sets like etched parts or decals.

Thanks and hope to hear from all of you :thumbsup:

1st : Pre! Welcome!
2nd : Wla akong alam na webs eh, tunkol naman dun sa Detail Sets i think you have to order them...
There are other phil members here... maybe you can ask them to buy for you...

Hi guys :) First of all, I'm relieved to see some kababayans here in the forum. :iceslolan I was wondering if any of you use the Pylox spray paints on your car models. How is it? Are you able to get a showroom shine with them. What locally available rubbing compound and wax do you use?

Hey SMB!

I've tried using the pylox cans, in fact I do, but only when painting some interior parts (seats with flat black, etc.) basically anything which'll probably need a significant amount of paint. I don't recommend using it on the body of the car, though, as Pylox gets on a bit too thick in my experience of using it. Then again, maybe it's just me! Hehe!

I still use Tamiya Rattle Cans together with Tamiya Modelling Wax + Tamiya Rubbing Compound. Works well for me.

Question... Anyone here care to help me?
I'm trying to buy 2 Skyline R34 VSpec II Kits by tamiya but its been 3 months and i cant find any.
I cant buy online cuz i dont have a credit card... can sum1 help me? yung ave price. ty

fellow Philippine modeler here :D based in Manila. SMB, I wouldn't use Pylox for the body as well since it goes on quite thick. I personally use an airbrush and dupont automotive acrylic paint, works really well.

For decals, Try Lil's at Park Square 1 in makati. They have a few tamiya race car decals for around PHP 300 a set
