Hi Guys & Help Me!

Hi Everyone,

I'm Phil, i'm just getting into building scale models and completed my fist model yesterday (an airfix red arrows folland gnat) and well i really enjoyed building it but the paint job is AWFUL. I used the humbrol acrylics that came with the kit along with the supplied brush, i realise this is not the ideal setup so can anyone suggest what paints and brushes to use as i cant afford an airbrush setup at the moment.

Cheers

Phil

yeah that supplied paint is goopy

small person and I made one of these last year, I would go with a flatish brush and maybe a proper can of humbrol enamel, or tamiya acrylic - it looked nothing like doing it with an airbrush but it didnt look half bad either, there are a ton of paint choices so a good half this hobby seems to entail trying stuff - so you may just have to keep trying

Fair point, i'd love to get an airbrush but just too many pennies at the moment. so flat brush and buy a few different paints and see what works.

Cheers Aliktren

Regards

Phil
