Apparently HONG it`s way better (I have the Meng kit) http://www.armorama.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=SquawkBox&file=index&req=viewtopic&topic_id=247771&page=1

Awesome build ! This machine really looks like a modern IFV should. We`ll wait for MENG kit, imagine how awesome that will be

I got the Meng kit, it`s incredible !

Ok, browsing various forums I`ve found the above info

Hello, can we make a list of the best kits for : M1A1 Abrams M1A2 Abrams (SEP) - Dragon 3536 T-80 T-90 A - Meng 006 Leopard 2A4 - Meng 016 Leopard 2A5 Leopard 2A6 Leopard 2A7 - Meng 027 Merkava MkII Merkava MkIII Merkava MkIV Challenger 2 JSDF Type 10 Leclerc PLA Type 99

That's a good link man, thanks. Also I rate Academy (as a company) pretty high, was it a good build ?

Gents, as the title says, in 35 scale who makes the best M1A2 Abrams ?

Hi Mike, I was trying to create the inner contour of the F-15s vertical stabilizers. Basically I did the contour itself with Patafix and on the outside I`ve added mr masking. Ammonia aside, even Patafix (I don't know how you call it in uk) removed some paint also To be precise though, it was only one paint layer

Thing is, I was lazy and I masked it like 10 days after painting it, so this is even stranger. Check the pic below please

Hello together, maybe you can help me, I used Mr Masking Neo over a painted surface (Mr Hobby acrylics) and after I removed it some paint peeled off or the surface was damaged. Also I used Patafix on the same part and the result was the same, damaged surface. I primed my parts with Mr Surface 1000 and the paint was thinned using Mr Color leveling thinner Am I doing something wrong ? Cheers

It`s a Fulcrum, how not to like I`ll be following this build

I already bought two cans of it

Nope, I don't have that locally. What I have though it`s a rich offer from Vallejo, AK, Tamiya, Mr Hobby

Hello together, can you tell me please if I can use primers developed for enamels (like revell`s Airbrush email basic) and then to spray over them acrylics like AK Interactive ? Cheers

So you are saying health wise acrylics are/could be worse ?

Crips this, crisps that, I almost got my bottom to the store next corner to get some, thinking of Mike while I do this, of course Now, coming back on acrylics, I do airbrush models in my room, are acrylics worse than enamels ? Also, we have quite a range to choose from locally: AK Interactive, Vallejo, Mr Hobby and Tamiya

Thanks azureglo, obviously a steep learning curve for me regarding airbrushing. Some reading would come in handy, as I wrote above though I`am thinking to join the trend, meaning go with acrylics and everything that goes with them like priming etc

Old school british humour right there

I`ll definitely do that tomorrow mirageiv From now, I`ll buy all necessary paints when starting a new kit - of course minus the ubiquitous black hehe Also, in my country - Romania that is - I see a powerful trend towards acrylics ( we have Revell & Humbrol enamels but they are considered dinosaurs) We have available a wide range of acrylics : Vallejo, Ak, Tamiya, Mr hobby

Thanks for replying Mike, truth be told, I was using enamels because I thought I could skip the priming part. Now I`am thinking it would be wiser to prime + go with acrylics

Hello mirageiv, I thought about that too, but I was tempted to blame my lack of experience in airbrushing - I still do, but that paint was very thick in the bottom of the jar and thinner on the surface. I`ve stirred it a little bit but still consistency varied, so I added like 2 or 3 parts thinner. Is it me or white colours are hard to both paint brush and airbrush ?

Hello together, I`am a beginner at airbrushing and obviously tons of mistakes are made. Below pictures feature Revell enamel (bought some years ago) thinned with Revell`s Email mix, can you tell me please what I`am doing wrong ? Cheers

ok guys, I`ll be experimenting with both

Haha, yeah enamels

Hello guys, I have almost all paints emails - most of them revel some Mr Hobby also. My question is, do I need to give a coat of primer also ? Cheers
