  1. Good evening all. I have recently come into some figures and after measuring them found they're 28mm. They are a sandy colour mould and after much googling found out they are Italeri WW2 British Infantry. Has anyone had anything to do with them. What is paint like at sticking to them. These will be my first venture into painting figures as i normally build 1.76 softskins. Thanks for reading.

    Mig Acrylics

    Local model shop has started selling Mig Acrylics in the dropper bottles. What are they like for brushing. Can they be thinned with water like vallejo. Daft questions i know but i know nothing about Mig paint.

    Can you remove Tamiya paints with the Revell paint remover and will it affect glued joints. Ive messed up a paint job. Thanks in advance
  5. No mate. Passed it thousands of times as a lorrydriver and weekends were taken up looking after a family member. That's changed now so hopefully when it's open, i will pop over. Lived in North Yorkshire 94% of my life and like our lass,, never visited the Yorkshire Show shame on us. I'm just 4 mins from the old Eggborough power station
  6. Welcome to the group Simon. I'm only in 1 Facebook page for my genre and dont do model clubs. Far too many rivet counters. Hope you enjoy it here. Any questions however silly or daft, just ask.

  11. What paints do you use. I am toying with the idea of not using primer and just putting my Tamiya Acrylic straight on. I dont really want to use Motor Discount Store primer as it's so thick. I only use brushes.

    Halfords Etch primer

    Thank you for that. I hadn't heard of the stuff before until he told me about it. He reckons he under coats everything he paints with it. I will stick to my Tamiya and Humbrols.
  13. Hi all A friend does diecast code3 lorries and we was chatting about paints. Then he started laughing when he saw me brushing Humbrol flat grey enamel as an undercoat. He said he gets ETCH PRIMER from Halfords and comes in an aerosol and a 1 litre tin for brushing. Has anyone else tried or use this Etch primer for brushing for undercoat. I didnt want to buy some and find out it's no good.
  14. So Airfix have released their new range for 2021. The aviation guys have done well and we got new tigers and Sherman's. A 1.35 Austin k2 Ambulance has got me excited. What i really wanted and due to rumours was the new boxed scammell tank transporter but alas it hasn't happened.
  15. Hi Gary and welcome. I'm not too far from Elvington and know XL231 well and one of the lads that work on her.
  16. I was told Tamiya doesnt need primer.
  17. I was given a highly recommended Ultimate Paint Products yesterday. I'm going to give it a try

    Which paint?

    I prefer Acrylics especially Tamiya. I also have some Vallejo, Citadel, a few Revell. I have a fair few Humbrol enamels but as previously said, they can be quite inconsistent. A new model shop (mainly railway) has opened near me and they stock AK Interactive stuff and MIG. I'm seriously thinking of buying a colour i use a lot ( Raf blue) and giving them a try
  19. I went to Elvington a few years back and they were flying big scale aircraft. Same day we had XH558 Vulcan do several flypasts
  20. I've just got the Airfix qld qlt kit. 2 kits in 1 box. Got it from evilbay and looking in the box the moulding looks brilliant. It's in the Red box. Only paid 9.99 inc postage

    Trial and error

    Hi Ned and welcome. I'm just up the road from you nr Eggborough. We are a friendly bunch and always give the best advice. I build 1.76 soft skins and 1.76 lorries. Looking forward to seeing your work.
  24. My local store at York said they arent buying kits or paint due to lack of demand. They did say they are selling the quick kits as they make good stocking fillers for kiddies. I have moved recently and just found a little shop on the road out of Doncaster which is about 9 miles from me. Hoping to pop over when i get chance.
