    Aluminum Paint Colour Substitute

    I am building a Trumpeter 1:48 RCAF F-104 Starfighter. The paint scheme asks for aluminum for the body. Since I don't have that colour (I use mostly Tamiya acrylic paints), and my local model supplier is out of stock, I was wondering what colour I might substitute for the aluminum? i.e. silver...

    Recommendation for German Luftwaffe acrylic paints?

    I just got a Tamiya He162 A-2 "Salamander". I love Tamiya paints but they recommend their AS series paints (spray can). I'm not a fan of these as I've tried them on other projects with not good results, and also they are very expensive per can. However these Tamiya colours do not come in the...

    What static grass to use...

    I just received my static grass applicator today. I've never tried static grass before and I am at a loss as to which colour/size to use in my diorama(s). The diorama I am building now is 1/35 scale and includes a WWII European country road running through a village with a low grass...

    F-86 Sabre Colour question...

    I am building a 1/48 F86 and not sure of the colour to paint the fuselage (very old kit without instructions). I used Tamiya’s acrylic ‘Chrome Silver’ but it seems not quite right (I could be wrong here). Does anyone know what colour it should be painted? I usually use Tamiya paints but open to...

    Looking for WW2 German flags (paper?) for 1/35 scale diorama...

    I've seen a couple tank dioramas on YouTube where the builder has incorporated a Nazi flag on the back of a King Tiger (for example). I believe these are paper flags(s) that are soaked (in a water and glue mix) then formed to the tank. My question is; where can I purchase such flags? If anyone...

    Looking to build a WW1 tank with ‘simple’ tracks (not link-to-link). 1/35 scale, is there such an animal??

    Looking to build a WW1 tank with ‘simple’ tracks (not link-to-link). 1/35 scale, is there such an animal?? I’m looking for a WW1 tank kit but I would like rubber band type tracks so as not to spend an eternity putting link tracks together (also a higher chance of screwing them up, at my level)...

    On-line hobby shops for diorama parts...

    I usually try to buy as much as I can from local shops (as few of them as there are) to support their business. However, there are times I need to go elsewhere to find what I want. Can anyone point me in the direction of one or two on-line shops for diorama pieces? I mainly build in 1/35 scale...

    Tiger 1 painting help question (intake pipe)

    Hi, I am currently building a Tamiya 1/35 Tiger I. I am going to paint it dark yellow but without camo. My question is; is it proper to attach the intake pipe (the grey material that comes with the kit that you cut to fit) and then paint it the same colour as the hull (in my case, dark yellow)...

    Help with chipping colour

    Hi, I'm building a Tamiya Stug 3 and want to add chipping effect but unsure as what colour to use on the German Yellow for the chipping. I watched some Youtube videos but found some of them confusing (i.e. mixing colours, different paint brands etc.). I am just starting out and this is my first...

    Newbie... :^)

    Hi, New to the forum. I built models (mostly aircraft) when I was young and sporadically in my adult years. Now retired, I seem to be fully engulfed in the hobby and enjoying it immensely! I do have a question right out of the gate: I am wanting to refurbish a couple of my favourite models I...
