Confucius said, “工欲善其事，必先利其器” (A craftsman must prepare his tools beforehand in order to do his work well.)
When it comes to hobbies like building model kits, even if you’re not doing it for a living, it doesn’t hurt to arm yourself with the right tools to maximize the joy of the experience! The real question is: what tools do you actually need as a beginner? Do you really need to spend a fortune to get every single tool?
Fortunately, we’ve solved that problem for you. Introducing the DEPARTURE TOOL COMBO SET by DSPIAE. Let’s not question the name (the Chinese name “启程者” is a lot more meaningful than the bad English translation)—let’s focus on what it includes and why it’s perfect for beginners.

I'm not just here for a quick buck—this is a real hustle and I take it seriously as I'm a fan of what I sell too. When I bring in items (unless they’re limited editions), I buy in bulk. This means if something goes wrong with one or two boxes, I have replacements ready to make it right.
Sure, you could order from overseas yourself if you know where to look. But imagine waiting days/weeks only to receive a broken product (or came in broken box). At deltabase, I shoulder that risk for you, so you don’t have to.

* Orders before 1400hrs ship out same day—unless it’s a pre-order, a holiday, or I’m off-duty. I’ll leave a notice on the website if I’m away. (Note: “Same day shipping” means I’ll pack and hand it over to the courier the same day. Delivery timing depends on the courier.)
