Back to History (1):- Order from Toyskingtoys (Hong Kong)

3 more model planes ordered from Toyskingtoys throught eBay in May '07. I was looking for MAS model and initially I thought it was cheap compare to Golden Boutique price I used to paid. Anywhere, this was the learning cycle and I was too eager to buy more model planes without really checking the price.

1) ANA B747-400 "Marine"

2) MASKargo B747-400
3) MAS B747-300 with old livery
Toyskingtoys was kind enough to replace the MAS B747-300 which was having paint defect on the wings. Bad things was I have to pay for the return postage.

How it began? (Part 4)

A week later after the Golden Boutique purchases, I went to Temptation Shop in Subang to buy my first 1/400 models. I realised that the 1/400 scale for Gemini Jets are diecast, I was still very new in this hobby.

1) MAS B747-4H6 GM166 (GJ) Hibiscus 2) MAS B777-4H6 GM170 Helionia



How it began? (Part 3)

On early May 07, I went to Golden Boutique, Subang, to buy all 1/200 models available in stock.

2) MAS B737-4H6 GM152 1/200 (Hogan)

How it began? (Part 2)

After I received the first model, I was looking around in ebay and placed an order to purchase 3 more 1/200 models from wingsmodels of China. Initially I was blind by the low pricing and not reliasing the quality of these models are bad. I really dispointed when I was holding these models.

2) Boeing B737-900 (1/200)
3) Boeing B767-300 (1/200)

How it began? (Part 1)

It all started when I was flying to Manila, Philiphines last year April. I was browsing the Golden Boutique catalog and A380 model caught my attention. I thought is very nice to owe one of it. There have 2 models for A380, 1/400 from GJ and 1/200 from Hogan. At that time, I don't know what is Hogan or Gemini Jets, but is cheap for the size of 1/200 compare to 1/400. So, I decided to purchase one on the return flight. Sure enough, I filled up the mail order and handed over to the flight attendants. 3 weeks later, the model arrived with RM20 extra for handling. It was a nice model and I was very happy with it.
