Peterairfix's Starter set Challenge GB. Chat

[Jim R]

Ordered online from The Works. Only £10. Picked it up from my local store today. Thought I'd been really clever as this had 6 paints and 2 brushes. Downside is it is all silver :sad: Painting silver with a brush sounds difficult although it does say 'skill level 1' on the box!

The Cromwell tank has arrived and I am happy to report there is no red paint but plenty of green and brown:thumb2::smiling3:. As I am away at the moment, I am unable to post pictures but really looking forward to some light Easter relief with this build next year.

Amongst the welter of Airfix Kits - postie has just delivered this........................[ATTACH]323875[/ATTACH]
Includes a curious double ended brush. Not a model in the first flush of youth! According to Scalemates, it dates back to 1963! I hope that the Yellow rudder comes as a decal, 'cos the 3 colours supplied are silver, olive green & emerald green!

Hi Dave
The kit may be ancient and you are expected to mix yellow from silver and green but at least you have a decent glue rather than the tube of gloopy stuff in my kit.

Complaint to the Officials!!!

Dave's cheating! He has two brushes!!:smiling5::smiling5:
I have to keep cleaning my one brush where as Dave doesnt have too. Also he only has three colours- I have four!!!
And dont get me started on the glue!:smiling5::smiling3::smiling2::smiling:

Hi all, this is possibly a silly question, I have in my possession an Airfix VE day set and a D-Day set, which have the starter kit paints and several of the kits are unstarted, would they count?[ATTACH]324175[/ATTACH]

Unfortunately not this time as it has to be the single kit boxed set

Ok, No problem.:sad:

dont be daft, it would actually be interesting to see how different people approach the same kit
