Hi from Russia

[Ether]

Hi, ISM.
I am a newbie in scale modeling from Russia. I have built a few kits out of the box but I still need to practice a lot in order to achieve good results with my models.

There was a short break in modeling, but I want to return and start building some good kit. I have a good impression about Meng's and Tamiya's kits. Maybe you can give advice about some kits of this companies? I'm interested in vehicles and tanks.

Welcome to ISM! Meng and Tamiya make excellent kits. Be careful with the older Tamiya kits as they can be a bit hit and miss. If you look on this website it will give you a timeline of the kits. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/

Welcome Ether, where in Russia are you from?

Welcome Ether, where in Russia are you from?

I live in Saint Petersburg.

Anyone can advice about primers that I can use inside a flat and some airbrushers for it. Preferably, h&s airbrush, because I have h&s ultra and really like it.

Put a .4 needle and nozzle on the Ultra and you'll be fine. I have an Ultra, great brush. Primers tend to be a bit pongy/dusty so you really want some kind of extractor system, maybe one that you can dangle the hose out of your window.

I once tried Vallejo primer and didn't have big troubles with smells. But I didn't obtain good results because of using a cheap Chinese airbrush. Hope to get better results with h&s. Are there better variants for primers?

Have just looked at my airbrush, made a mistake. It's h&s evo 2 in 1, so I have a small needle and 0.4. Is it OK to use one airbrush for painting and priming? Or is it better to use 2 airbrushes?

Use the .2 for normal painting and the .4 for primer. If money isn't a problem you could always get another brush just for priming but there's no need to really.

Thank you for advice, will follow it.
Have decided to buy Meng TS-019 as the first kit after a break in modelling. There is a PE additional kit by Voyager Model, is it necessary? Or it's optional and the kit is excellent without it?
