Hi everyone new to this I am wanting to start modeling again was wondering which manufacturer is the most popular and why cheers

Welcome to ISM

What are you into building? AFV or aircraft?

[Maverik]

Im building aircraft so far ive purchased a 1/48 hasegawa fA 18C

[Lee]

Can't go wrong with most Hasegawa's, Tamiya (apart from their Warbirds collection) are also a good starter

[Maverik]

Thanx lee I appreciate your time will look at more from hasegawa and tamiya also been looking at luckymodel.com are they safe to deal with any feed back would be great

[Lee]

Yes, very

[Maverik]

Cheers sorry for the late reply

yeah, I'm not much of an aircraft builder but both Tamiya and Hasegawa are the ones that I build when I get the urge!
I'm looking forward to seeing your stuff..
cheers

Lucky model you do need to be careful with, make sure what you want to buy is actually in stock, if its on backorder don't buy it as you can be waiting months.

Hasagawa are ok kits, theres a lot better out there now to be honest form other manufacturers

[Maverik]

Thankyou mark try and get it started soon still have to buy a bit of gear

[Maverik]

Ok paul good to know I wont buy anything if its not in stock I've got the model numbers to what I want I will see if the guy's in the local hobbyshop can get them in if it's a problem I will buy at lucky models cheers ps great vids learn't a lot already i had no idea when i was building when my har was darker

Welcome aboard. I wish I could put my two cents in, but I've been out for too long. Mostly Revell is what I am used to building.

Eduard, Hobbyboss and Academy all make good kits but you need to look at this site https://www.scalemates.com/kits/ and read the reviews first. I do it before any purchase after I had a bit of an experience with an Airfix Harrier and it's never let me down.

Also read between the lines, some of the guys who do these reviews are top modellers so when they say something like 'difficult but satisfying' you maybe want to avoid it like the plague...

Hi paul i just purchased some Mr hobby acrylic paints they say they are water based on the jar dose this mean i cant thin them with thinners because the guy in the shop told me not to but sold me thinners for brush clean up if these are the same paints you reviewed in your youtube channel is this correct cheers Angelo
