Hi, well as a kid I used 'Revell contacta professional 25g',
I don't think it's a bad glue, but for me the problem was that everytime I had a bit of time to work on a model I lost 20 minutes cleaning the needle ... When the glue is stuck in the needle you have to take out the needle and hold it above a flame to burn out the glue...

I think you don't need to buy another glue but you can give it a try some day

Cheers
Steven

ta steven, havent bought anything yet apart from an airbrush on a whim last year so just compiling my list !!!

[Steven000]

Starting with a list is a good idea
The Tamiya glue smells very bad, so if that would be a problem you better get the Revell or something else if recommended here...

I prefere the Tamiya glue, I have both the 'thin' (green cap) for small parts and normal (white cap) for larger parts.

But it's a personal choice
Cheers
Steven

That’s what smells do more than sights, sounds, etc., yes. Spend enough time building models and you don’t smell glue and paint unless you put your nose right above them and inhale deeply, though

Welcome, welcome, welcome! Consider a razor saw. Spent 50+ years modeling w/o one & once acquired I wondered why. A great tool. PaulE

[Guest]

reckon on the bf109 for starters but skip the additional eduard detailing to start with, when it comes to paint and brushes etc are the ammo mig sets good value or is it best to buy separate ??

[Dave Ward]

Alan,
If you don't have any paints, then, yes, the Mig sets are good, just make sure you get the right one! There are early and late Luftwaffe colours..............
Add to these some base colours - black, white, silver, brown, a primer and varnish, and you should be able to cover most bases. Some modellers don't use primer, but I always like to have a smooth uniform surface to put the camo on.
