GRASS AND TAMIYA PAINTS
Been using Syringes with a large bore needle for ages to extract/measure paint from jars Pack of the 5ml size and a selection of needles cost very little from Amazon or Ebay. They can also be used for glue application such as for canopies and windows- LeytonO

AK Real Colours Acrylic markers - any good?
Had mine for about six or seven months and none have dried out that I know of. Find them very useful for small parts, nice tip for detail and the wider part of the nib for larger areas.

Chrome Covering Removal
I used Domestos because that's what I had in the sink unit. I'm sticking with Oven Brite liquid, great for this task, but totally useless on my oven, far too runny.

FIFA WC 2026

Model makes.
I have found Hasegawa and Meng to be good quality kits. Tamiya I agree are consistently good and have been for many years.- LeytonO
