I have heard a lot from this forum that modelers use some kind of setting solution for decals and I would like to ask if any of you guys/gals use any kind of solution and where did you buy it.

Noel, I'm new to this forum stuff ( my first post actually ). How do you place the ipms-manila banner on a post?

Fairfax, belated happy birthday, pare.




Hey Ben, they might believe you... In fairness, I really learned a lot of techniques from good 'ol Mel Silvestre... I guess a lot of guys in the hobby know him. I'm just voicing my small opinion in the matter... hehehe Blush [:I]

There are three places I know that sell parts. The first is Han's Infinite Tools at the 6th level of Shangrila EDSA. The other one is of course Jolli's along Espana across UST from Gov. Forbes.

There are several other shops in Binondo such as Panda Construction in Dasmarinas though I've never been there but LoRdToRqUeMaDa (este Rico pala) says the parts are really cheap.

Jun, what are you refering to? Parts of Iwata or Badger?


Badger. They sell Badger in the places I mentioned

No problem... I use a Badger 150. It's quite versatile but I've tried the Crscendo 175 of Badger... That's a really robust airbrush. Compact, light, very durable and the parts are cheap and readily available.

Uy, I'm currently armed with a Crescendo 175. May I know where its parts can be found locally? Just in case I may need some replacements in the future. Big Smile [:D]

I know the dealer here in Manila is in Binondo somewhere. I think T. Alonzo to be exact. Let's ask Ben...

BEN!!! Do you know where the exact location is?

By the way, why IWATA? Are you going to do some heavy-duty brushing? IWATA and Paasche are notably airbrushes for industrial use... Badger only comes second to them in durability. They are wuite expensive though.



I already have an HP-C sm and would like to know if there is dealer so i know where to go to if i needed some parts for replacement.


Ah... I see... You've got a really good brush there. It's a little heavy for me (both in the weight and price category) but it's a really nice airbrush. I'm quite sure it's a store in T. Alonzo. I'm going to Manila this week. I'll pass by and see if they're still selling them. I'll keep you posted.

Hey shrikes, where in QC are you ?
I'm from Cubao, I'm into WWII Bombers too but I include modern and sci-fi. Mostly I'm into 1/72nd scale German aircraft, I also build German armor in 1/35 and German ships in any scale but much prefer 1/350 scale. I'm a new member of IPMS-Manila.

I'm from the Katipunan Area. It's great to finally meet someone else who loves bombers! As was said in "Flight of the Intruder": "Fighter pilots make movies, bomber pilots make history!" I focus more on Allied A/C, though. I'm too chicken to start on a splinter camo! Tongue [:P] Maybe one day when i get an airbrush, I'll do an He-111! or maybe a Fw-200! Gotta love those multi-engined A/C!

The Sabre is just sitting here... I'm waiting for more of the decals from Tony. I'm kinda hoping that It'll arrive soon, so i can seal the decals with some clear spray!
