shortCummins Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Morning, afternoon evening all My name is John and I’ve been back modelling for a couple of years after a 30 odd year break. Way back I only brush painted mainly Airfix and Tamiya and I’d never heard of let alone used photo-etch and resin or any other aftermarket. My interest is mainly 1/48 WWII aircraft, I’ve only ever built one AFV subject but I do plan to build more. any advice, suggestions or comments will be gratefully received. rgds John(shortCummins) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Welcome to BM John. Whichever type of model that you are building, if you need help/advice, just ask in the appropriate forum and chances are, somebody will help. If you are planning on building an AVF, my advice would be to start with something from Tamiya. I wouldn't try something from the likes of Bronco first as although they are good, they are extremely fiddly. But whatever you build, enjoy it. John.

Mike Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Aboard John. It's a familiar tale, and one that rings a bell with me. Seeing the amount of aftermarket when I came back was one of the things that enticed me back and kept me there. I'm an inveterate tinkerer, and that sort of thing appeals Enjoy the forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Hello John ... welcome back to Modeling from a Yank. We all get pulled back at some point. And Im also a WW2 builder 👍 . Currently I'm expanding to those cold war and modern jet thingies ... you know those funny looking planes without propellers. So if i can help with anything just ask.

Ade H Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) Ah, another one. They all realise eventually. Welcome! 5 hours ago, shortCummins said: Way back I only brush painted mainly Airfix and Tamiya and I’d never heard of let alone used photo-etch and resin or any other aftermarket. Could have written that myself. Before t'internet came along, purchasing a modelling magazine (no, not that type ) was a bit of a culture shock with lots of resin and white metal kits.
