I love the A10. I built the Italeri one recently. My only advice and it's probably the same with the Tamiya kit is to make sure you put a decent amount of weight in the nose before you glue the fuselage, otherwise the tail will end up resting on the floor. I used two 5p's and some blue tack for...
I always tend to go with yellow with a hint of brown mixed in cant really go wrong with life jackets so i wouldnt worry too much about getting the exact colour
Hi guys. Im using humbrol gloss varnish and only one coat with humbrol enamel wash. The problem i find with using two coats of gloss is it fills in the panel lines too thick so i have to score them. Maybe applying enamel thinner to the lines after glossing and using a 0 size brush will help as...

I've been model making for a couple of years now and one problem keeps coming up which is, when I use a colour wash on panel lines I am not able to achieve a nice capillary action like I've seen in a lot of how to videos.

Most of the stuff I have to file down is on a flat surface but sometimes parts can be difficult to reach.
I tried bending a cheap diamond...

Hi guys
It's been a while since I last posted a build and this is my latest one which I'm calling finished
I opted for the more complex camo scheme and I'm quite happy with the result, I like to challenge myself but some transfers didn't make it and ended up getting crumpled so I had to be a...
So with regards to dioramas i will have to go with 1:76 armour to match a 1:72 aircraft. I'm making a stuka at the moment in 1:72 and i plan to put it on display next to a 40mm bofors anti aircraft gun in desert camo. I think a 1:35 scale would look too big if ibwas displaying them next to each...
