Actually, those are Stealth Flasks. :)

Pre Weathering.

Yes I did prime, I used Vallejo Surface Primer. Grey. I painted with the Vallejo Air USN WWII colors. Also, since I plan on clear coating with with the Tamiya X-22, I ordered some Tamiya thinner. I have Vallejo thinner, but several things I’ve read/watched recommended matching the brand of...

Thanks, I was wandering about that too

Sorry if this is a rookie question, but I just finished painting my 1:48 Tamiya Corsair (first scale build). From what I’ve gathered, I should put on a clear coat prior to weathering and decals. I have Tamiya X-22. Do I need to thin it or just spray as is from the bottle? After everything is...

Looks great! That beast is carrying some serious ordinance!

I’m going to do the Corsair just like the box with simple weathering and work on basic building/painting skills. The P-47, being a similar kit, I will try applying some of the lessons learned and maybe experiment with chipping.

At least since I was a kid in the 80’s.. And yes, I already ordered my 2nd kit. The 1/48 Tamiya P-47 Razorback, who doesn’t love Jugs??

Hello all! This looks like a great group. The last plastic scale model I built was in the 80’s. I have built and flown RC for years, but I have always been fascinated with scale plastic models. WWII aircraft will be my primary focus. I’ve been doing research on what to buy to start off with...
