Shipping ard S$10 for this. Including my other orders also, actual shipping cost (express) is ard $60+ but I got about 6-7 items. :D

Icic, the last time I bought my rx-78 v3 from amiami I paid about about 15 for shipping... kinda afraid such a big kit would cost much more

Ehhhh...

he has to get 6-7 items to get that deal after spreading the shipping cost around. Sounds like you have to spend more to save more...

now too late liao.

i dismantled the set, shone torchlight thru some of the openings and found a lot of rust inside, mostly at the bottom and at near 1 of the front ports (links to the regulator)

when i removed the rear safety valve, even the threads itself has some rust and on the outside of the tank near the threads.

i think, no point for me to remedy the situation. I was scrubbing the insides with a sharp metal wire to scrap away the rust then clean and dry it. after that, pour some primer inside to coat a layer of primer.

but after cleaning, i realised too much rust for me to clean. just going to use the airbrush until it spoils loh. unless I can get some acid to properly dissolve the rust away.

wow a rusted air tank is quite dangerous. have heard of some exploding because the rust weakens the metal.

BTW does anyone know how to get a portable refillable airtank in singapore? i have a crazy idea of just refilling it at a petrol kiosk and use that drive an air brush
