Just joined so I’m just starting out in this fascinating passtime.
I’ve been looking to get started for a while, but needed the right excuse. I’m due an operation soon to repair my ankle. I’ll be in a cast for 6 weeks and could need 3 months off work......so I will have lots of time to kill.
Can anyone recommend a number of kits 4-6 that can be built using pretty much the same paints using a similar simple colour scheme. Just to get me going without breaking the bank. Happy to hunt down some oop gems online.
also recommendations on paints, brushes etc.
I’ve a good number of hand tools, side cutters, needle files, knives and even have one of those cheap Revell airbrush kits.
I’m leaning towards 1-72 scale as I’d like to standardise my collection and want to model everything from Harriers to SR-71s. I prefer wheels up, yeah yeah I know, but I just love the look of the beautiful lines of these old birds so I feel 1/72 would be right for me. Plus as my skills improve it will be more of a challenge to add detail and realism.
Cheers all.
