its a pleasure having another fellow thomasian aboard! you're kinda fiesty for a newcommer. anyway, i'm an arch't and we do share the same college building/campus before, bout my handle yes its old cristened by my co-workers in the field somehow i've gotten use to it.

okey, about your braille F-8E delema, i can't say much regarding the hasegawa kit except for its poor reviews, i have both the kangnam and acadeny kits so far,the kangnam kit is the cheapest one around at P280 its similar to the ESCI kit ,the details are simplified with some effort the kit has potential, the new academy kit cost twice as the kangnam but, far better with little corrections... i bought mine at JMNs for P400+ last week and had one more in reserve, i think only JMNs has stock of the kit, i'm currently converting the first kit into PAF F-8H version w/c i hope to enter on the BAC cup on the 30th or in the Natls on Oct.

The IPMS-Phils Bert Anido Chapter Cup is regurlay held every May in honor of Mr. Bert Anido a founding member of IPMS-Phils. entries are focused on PAF and AFP subjects later expanded to WW2 pacific.

for more info. you could check our website at ipmsphilippines .com

hope this helps..

wow! maraming salamat i'll go get one after office more likely the academy kit like you said it has less work and the price is reasonable.JMNs sa Harrison Plaza yun diba? Smile [:)]

PAF F-8H? that's different, i'm a kinda straight out of the box type. but, i'm hoping to do some conversion one of this days or my skills won't improve, whats the diff. between the E and H version mahirap ba yun conversion nila? i like the lines of the F-8 its sleek, simple and deadly the last gunfigther beats barbie anytime Evil [}:)]

and the PAF operates them. are they still in service? Tongue [:P]

i'll check out your websites later.

again, thanks for the warm welcome guys and gal! Big Smile [:D]

and the info. Smile [:)]

rod, welcome aboard! braille scale are the smaller scale models... usuall referring to the 1/72nd... details are so small one could go blind.... which makes me wonder, if 1/72 is Braille scale how do we call the 1/144???

and BAC actually means Bert Anido Chapter.

Noel, Mang Ben, and most of those that have their insignia is from the IPMS-USA chapter, IPMS-Manila.

IPMS-Philippines Bert Anido Chapter was established in the 60's... Bigman and Buck are from this one...

They used to belong in IPMS-P-BAC, all of them, but like a fledgling learning to fly, IPMS-Manila was established.

actually, there are other IPMS clubs present here... there's IPMS South Manila, IPMS fort(tama ba? no offense meant) and others i can not remember.

These clubs are present to promote the hobby. they WORK TOGETHER to guide modellers throughout.

for more info on their orgs, check out their websites....

Happy modelling y'all!

Cheers!

emjaetee

Hello Rod, tiga Silang ako.

Beth,

hi beth

pareho pa la tayong Kabiteno and fellow newcommer welcome to the hobby bihira ako maka meet ng babae na modeller especially who's interest is in armor and aircraft very rare you guys are mostly into cars, figures or even sci-fi.

is 1/72 what you call "braille scale"?

rod

rod

i believe yours is also braille, your ship scale of course Big Smile [:D]

i don't know, i'm not L........ or whatever you might think, these are the subjects i prefer to build and i'm not alone and don't you dare convince me to do braille ships. not yet Big Smile [:D]

the "braille" term kinda stuck to us.

newbies pala tawag sa atin parang newborn Blush [:I]

anyway, good luck on your USS Enterprise and mang ernie's King Goerge V.

Alang hiya! Dami palang Thomasians dito! Wahu! Another Thomasian here batch '99 .... same building din as Mang Ernie & Beth's.... kaso we only occupy the 1st three floors of the said building. Ehehehe!

Ako rin braille (a stockpile of unbuilt kits) but I'm still a newbie when it comes to airbrushing (pwede ba magpaturo sa inyo?) so I tend to practice muna through (u)nano scale 1/144 aircrafts. Also am working on a 1/24th scale medyo classic rally car right now.

i didn't mean to put it that way... sorry, guys...

they are here to help us newbies in the tricks of the trade, its essentials and promote the hobby itself...

each club has their own program to enhance and improve the skills of the members... but beyond that, there are modelling events where it is open for everyone whether a member or not.

one example is the national scale modelling competition in october...

kaya... prepare na! hehehe... daming categories! if you are into sci-fi. meron din dun... entry fee is free... dropped by lil's recently, me poster na.

Measure it with a micrometer. Mark it with a grease pencil. Cut it with an ax.

emjaetee,

You got it correct. There are a couple of IPMS clubs na and yes, it is good for the hobby. After we established IPMS Manila last December, we didn't realize how large the population of modelers willing to join clubs. How many modelers aged in this hobby alone..had to learn alone...and had to grow alone in the hobby. I spent 9 years with my friends at IPMS Philippines which later was named IPMS-P-BAC in comemoration of a great man and friend..Bert Anido.

This hobby is great. It brings out the best in oneself. Like say...building my Leopold for four long months..argh.

Rico,

Why not make a brief lecture next meeting on top of Gap Filling. It's one short lecture lang so the guys will better appreciate it. Borrow a box supply from Winston and sell it to the members in case anyone will be interested.

What do you think ?

Emjaetee,

Only three of us in IPMS Manila came from IPMS P BAC. One came from IPMS Philippines before it became IPMS P BAC. The rest are walk-ins! So that means...around 40+ walk-ins. Malaki na ang population ng modelers. Just look at this thread. It gets longer each day! 14 pages long na!!!!

"God of all nations..."

Thats about the only line I could still recall of our hymn. Go Tigers!

Mang Ernie, if I may...

Beth,

The most apparent difference between the F-8E and the H is the nose cone. The Hs were remanufactured Ds which in turn had a narrower nose than the H (which had a larger radar and hence more bulbous nose).

The PAF F-8Hs (or more appropriately the F-8Ps) also had a considerably large pod on the tail just above the rudder.

The PAF Crusaders were retired sometime in the 80s and were left sitting in the grass until Pinatubo wrecked quite a number of them. A few were repainted and used as dummies for the film "13 Days."

Sigman, I e-mailed starwars info to your mail box, just let me now what you want , will have it sent to you. STC Website is under construction and will posted here for all our brothers and sisters modelers inquiries of their dream kits.

More modelers from the southern provinces of Mindanao are joining IPMS Manila, we have already contacts from Davao City and Zamboanga City and am encouraging them to join our forum which you have started.

To Rico;

Braille is for 1/72 scale aircraft, 1/144 is the U-nano and 1/350 is mahal or mutya, he hehe.

Trumpheter's 1/144 scale of Japanese Navy's Kawanishi Type 97 Maritime and Reconnaissance Flying Boat, (Allied Code Name -Mavis ) is a good kit, try it.

hey maaang ernie!

do you have the same callsign in armorama? i saw this gallery with your name, the CVL 29 USS Bataan,1/700 pala yun! i thought it was a 350 the .45cal casing gave the scale away hanep pare:)

what kit is it? it looks like a DML?

the King Goerge V was also great! ginagawa mo pa pala yun mukhang tapos na kasi, if its WL Tamiya/? eh di scratch built yun hull nya? same din napagkamalan ko 350.

m still working on my CV6, hope to do as well kahit half as good happy nako, Inspiring pre!
