thanks.

What some pple do is trim very close to the edges of the wordings to minimise the sticker edge effect but this being a sticker, will hav borders.
Another would be to remove the stickers and use waterslides decals w setter and softer and end it with a topcoat. Before application of waterslide decals, good to gloss coat the surface first.

u can try to source for third party waterslides for that kit if u want. hobbymate and samueldecal might have what u are looking for.

A small update on my HK Gundam shopping.
Yan On - Overall, it's decent. JBO has many kits. But the owner's attitude is meh. Wouldn't go back there if I have a chance.
Modern Modeler has a wider range. But more expensive.
The rest of the shops there are decent. Nothing worth mentioning.
Gonna explore CTMA again.

No sign of resin kits yet.

Kinda had my expectations too high up.

Anyone knows where I can find 1/32 or 1/48 scale Northrop F-5 kit?

if u wan cheaper kits maybe can go tai yuen street (aka toy street). its a little hard to identify shops selling them because they usually sell a great many things other than model kits so got to keep your eyes open. richmond building is another place to go for model kits. some of the shops there even have limited edition kits available.

how much is the RG/100 nightingale in sg ah?

hobby shops will abt 20% cheaper, ard $130+

Iirc Richmond has more resins and kr than gundams

true that but some shops also sell kits as well so can check out as well. who knows? maybe he might see something that he like over there?

Hello all! More updates!

69 Hobby = Oh my gosh... 69A & 69B are one intersection apart. Slightly cheaper than most place.

Several other shops near 69A. Not bad.

Richmond Building = Plenty of action figures. After going through that many Gundam shops, everything looks the same to me.

CTMA = Same as Richmond. Nothing to rave.

One shop at 125 Sai Yee Street = They are more interested to close up for the day then entertain me. Meh.

I must be terrible at sporting resin kits. Because I don't find any. Haiz.

And, no one seem to carry F5 kits. I give up hope liao.

are their gunpla selection comparable to hobby shops in sg?
heard from my fren who was there recently this yr that he had quite a good haul

but remember when I was there a few years back, the selection was very very limited

heard tw was better, prolly the next best place to scout for kits apart from jpn
