M3a2
Need a bit of advice on the US M3A2 half track. I've just started building the Tamiya one and thought I'd do a little bit of research on it. It seems I have conflicting information on this vehicle. The Tamiya instructions say it was produced and used in WWII but Wikipedia says it was only ever...- homechild

US Armored Infantry
I'm just about to start a US Armored Infantry diorama. Never made a tank or a halftrack before, in fact the only reason I'm doing this is a) I practically stole the kits from someone on ebay, and b) I'm going to try something from almost every type of scale model group (e.g. cars, WWII planes...- homechild

So, Italeri kits...
...is it just me or are they a bit rubbish? I'm currently fighting with a 1/72 Mil Mi-24 Hind f and it's an absolute nightmare. Flash all over it, windows don't fit and keep falling out, the fit is disgraceful. Really don't know why I'm bothering to keep going with it. Think I may start... -

Fine sandpaper
I've seen people on these threads and in Airfix Model World magazine mention 1000 and 1200 sandpaper but I'm having difficulty tracking any of it down. The finest I can find is 600!! This stuff seems to be harder to find than a redneck at a Village People concert. Does anyone have any clues as... -

Chopper jocks
Anyone know where to get 1/72 scale helicopter pilots (made from plastic, resin, hardened chewing gum - whatever)? I managed to find some that are standing but none that are seated.- homechild

Aircraft Finishes
About 20 years ago I built a Hind D and I remember only a few things about it. 1) It was hastily thrown together; 2) I painted it with what I had to hand (one of the desert pattern colours was matt, the other gloss) 3) The aircraft itself looked AWESOME So I've ordered a Hind F to build but...- homechild

2012 Vietnam SIG resource
I was looking online for Vietnam related pics and came across this site. 68th Assault Helicopter Company Very informative and gives some insight into what it was like to be a Huey crew member. There are also, like, a million photo's on there. A lot of them are of the guys in the barracks...- homechild

Uniform colours
I know the answer to this has been posted to a question by someone else but I haven't a clue where and I'm sure doing a search on it would bring up a huge number of threads, most of which would be irrelevant. So I'm hoping the original poster will be able to point it out. I'm hoping someone can... -

Help with an old kit needed.
Need a bit of help with a couple of things. I started to build a Huey last night and I'm having issues already. It's a kit I won on ebay and I don't know how old it is but I'm sure it's quite old. Anyway, I digress...last night I was putting together the rotor assembly and had to cut some... -

...Beautiful People. Then you'll never have to be alone, cause, there'll always be someone with the same button on as you..." Here's the Hippie conversion of a VW Bus. There are a few things that went wrong with it but it came out looking okay at the other end! I know that there are points...- homechild

Does size matter?
…I’m thinking it does sometimes. I got some 1/72 fighter kits in the post the other day and I can see why most of you do 1/48. I’d forgotten how small 1/72 WWII fighters were, they’re tiny!! I was used to building 1/72 Tomcats and Tornados and the size difference between them and WWII... -

Adding to the stash in preparation!
I'm probably being a bit premature here but last night I ordered some kits in anticipation of one of the GB's or SIG's for next year! I already have some kits for some of the others in my stash but for some reason one of the topics just really lit up my imagination and within about an hour I... -

Chrome touch ups and realistic metals
I realise that most people here are WWII modellers but I've been wondering this for a while and you may have the answer anyway. When you have a chrome sprue/frame/whatever you want to call it, how do you touch up the part that you've removed because there will generally be at least one point... -

Airbrush + varnish = ???
I am going to be putting a coat of varnish on my latest project but recently had a bit of a disaster with decal fix (stupidly I tried to put it though my airbrush...needless to say a lot of down time occurred as I gave it a thorough clean). I can't remember the make of it but it's a gloss... -

Airbrush issues
Hi there. I'm having trouble getting paint out of my airbrush and I don't know why. I've been using Tamiya acrylics and Tamiya thinner (1 part thinner/2 parts paint) on a siphon feed brush and it's been working fine. I now have a different paint - Gunze Sangyo Aqueous Hobby Color - which I've... -

Upcoming Airfix kits
So, I'm probably way behind on this and you most likely all know about these but thought I'd post anyway. I've just been on the Airfix website and noticed that they have a lot of 1/48 modern UK forces kits coming out this year or next. There are combination kits with vehicles (Land... -

Gravity or siphon fed?
Okay, so I'm going to be buying an airbrush/compressor soon but have one question that I haven't really seen answered. Should I go for gravity fed or siphon fed? I'll be honest, I prefer the idea of the siphon fed. Is there any real difference between the two or does it just come down to... -

Future Releases
With all of the talk of group builds, stash building and latest aquisitions I got to wondering, is there any way to find what the planned future releases are (for those of us not lucky enough to be able to go to the yearly exhibitions) for the major (and minor, of course) manufacturers. Is it a... -

Airshows
Does anyone know if there was an airshow in the north of Scotland this weekend? Just back from Embo and there were a few planes going about. One was a yellow bi-plane with what looked like RAF roundels, tried to get some photo's but when I put the pics on my laptop they were tiny. For some... -

Anyone ever heard of Seminar Plastic Model Co.?
I recently won a 1/35 scale Huey (on ebay) made by Seminar Plastic Model Co. and wondered if anyone has ever heard of them. A quick (very quick) Google search found that they are/were a South Korean company but couldn't find a website for them (as I said, it was a very quick search). The...
