mga sir may alam ba kayo na ma-iskoran ng 1/35 Le Clerc? ano bang brand meron sya? importantly, mga magkano po?

salamat po sa reply

Lucky you Tanker25. :-) I spied a 1/35 Le Clerc at STC Filinvest Mall, Alabang, for just P550. But this was, oh, last year pa, in November. I can call them up and ask if it's available and, if you are willing to, I can purchase it on your behalf, then we meet somewhere neutral, then do the exchange. Assuming, of course, if it's available. It's by Mini-Hobby IIRC. Looks ok to me when I inspected it. I'll post an update tomorrow afternoon on this thread when I do contact them by phone. With that in mind, I reckon other STC branches closer to you might have it as well. Try the Greenhills branch (check the Stores thread).

However, assuming it isn't available, your next best choice is a 1/72 kit by Revell Germany, available at JMN for P330 IIRC. Yep, not 1/35 like what you're looking for, but it's a Le Clerc nonetheless. And Revell Germany does excellent 1/72 armor kits.

gen,

thanks for the reply pare. yeah i've seen the revell 1/72 in a hobby shop in katipunan 1 year or so. but i believe the store is already close. i really want the larger scale for im not yet that good in modeling. newbie pa lang to.

STC alabang u say? what brand is it anyway? do you think they have stock in cubao/rustan branch? im from marikina pa kase. anyway, thanks a lot man. you guys here are very helpful!

Yes, STC has a branch at Cubao. 2 actually, according to my card/directory.

STC Rustans Cubao - 437-9073
STC Ali Mall Cubao - 912-0923

Here's there branch at Virramall:

STC Virramall - 721-5332, 2nd flr., Dau Lane, Virramall

I forgot what brand exactly, but reading your similar thread at the Armor Talk forum, I reckon the Le Clerc kit is a rebox of the Heller kit (which they say isn't good). Still, better something than nothing.

As for scale and being a newbie, for me a newbie would be quite comfortable in 1/72 as opposed to 1/35, since the latter scale is quite large, lots of parts, sometimes more expensive (not really), etc. etc. whereas 1/72 is smaller, easier on the wallet (not really also hehehe) and looks very nice on the desk as a paper weight (which role my current 1/72 Challenger I Mk. 3 is performing flawlessly hehehe)

gen,

on line ka pla pare. thanks for the infos. yeah actually dun talaga ako bumibili. cubao, rustan, gamol and north edsa. ill try to call them na lang.

ke small or large scale they all break ur wallet! he he he

cheers!

hi ther tanker! a fellow modeller from marikina! where exactly from Mkna?

chrismag,


marikina heights pare, sa may likod ng c&p mall. Palmera centro man. kaw repapips?

Hi Tanker 25,

Don't waste your money on the 1/35th scale Le Clerc tha is available at STC. it's a really bad kit and looks very toy-like. You better get the Revell 1/72 Le Clerc, I bought one and its is a very good build. Details and scale is nice . You just have to add a little more detail on the barrel housing. Anyway, GI is right about 1/72 being more manageable (not necessarily cheaper) in the wallet. The quality of Revell AG is very good and worth every centavo.

Wla na bang ibang brand? all my armor is in 1/35 scale for uniformity. anyway thanks for the feeds.

pare halos magkapitbahay lang pala tayo eh! im from rancho 3
