    Tamiya Supermarine Spitfire Mk 1 - 1/48

    My first proper build after the Airfix starter kit Hurricane which taught me a lot and was fun. I'll do my best to post pictures as the build progresses. So far I have just started assembling the fuselage cockpit area as a closed cockpit. However, I am taking care to micro paint all the tiny...

    Tamiya Masking Stickers Vs Fluid

    Whilst I'm waiting for my starter kit Hurricane's varnish to dry I thought I would have a look at my Tamiya Spitfire 1/48. First reaction was wow...the instructions are so comprehensive. At first glance a bit confusing until you sit down calmly and read them properly. But very different to the...

    Decals...to gloss or not to gloss

    So, I'm getting to the point where I'm going to be applying the decals on my Airfix 1/72 Spitfire.

    So, Tanks

    What Colours ?

    Sort of a general question really. I suspect this will cease to be an issue once I build up my paint collection but how do I find out what colours I need for a kit ? I don’t mind buying individual colours but I can’t find any listing or suggestions on websites for each model such as ICM JU88...

    Is there a "best" primer colour ?

    I know it may well depend on the top coat colours being used but is there an one spray does all colour ? White ? Grey ? Black ? Also should "you" spray all the components on the sprues, not the clear obviously, or individually ? Lastly what spray to use ? Standard platic spray cans or paint...

    What Manufacturer to Buy ?

    I've decided to return to model making after many years and boy have things changed. I built almost every aircraft there was when i was a teenager and most of the ships. Now I need a hobby to spend happy hours concentrating on a task. I dont have the space for many aircraft anymore but do have a...
