Modeler's questions

Post by Sturm »

I would be grateful if someone would answer two questions that I have. First,what are the type of grits I need for sanding and filling gaps and in what order to use them? Out of all the models I built, I somehow never needed to sand or use putty. Maybe it's because I build mostly Tamiya kits.That all changed when I started on an Academy kit. Second, I've seen a lot of people building 1/48 Eduard aircraft kits and I really want to try one out, but I have no experience with photo etch or resin parts.What would be a good kit to start out with the photo etch and not be too overwhelming? I know I can find this information on the web, but I decided personaly ask the knowledgeable people here on ISM.

Im going to be biased and recommend our Ultimate sanders, these starter sets are an ideal starting point

Thanks,those sanders look great also thinking about trying your weathering products.
Just out of curiosity, why was my post deleted, did I post it in the wrong section?

It was a repeat of this question and will get two threads going on the same subject :thumb2:
