  1. Thanks for the links and all the advice guys. It's appreciated.
  2. Hi all, I'd like to build a model of the series 1 Toyota Celica saloon for a friend who used to own one. So far I've seen the Hasegawa and Aoshima models in 1:24. Has anyone made these models and any opinions which would be best quality wise. Also most seem to be in Japan, does anyone know of stockist in the UK or Europe. Thanks.
  3. I've just brought the Revell 1:8 scale US Police Motorbike cheap on eBay so maybe I'll start with that first. It should be quite easy to adds lights to.
  4. Thanks for that advice guys, I've just brought a good mask too.
  5. Thanks guys. I've ordered my paint and just waiting for it to arrive.
  6. Thanks to you all for the great advice. That link was an excellent read and so helpful. I'll also try a lot of practice spraying first too and post update once I start on the model. Thanks again everyone.
  7. Hi all. After 40 years since my last model build and having more time on my hand due to retirement I've decided to start building models again. I've chose to start with the Heller 1:16 scale Citroen DS, one of my favourite cars. I managed to find one on eBay for £22 including postage which seemed a good deal I'd like to spray paint it using cans rather than brush paint it. My question is do I need to spray it with primer first before spray painting it and what paint do you all recommended for a good finish. I was looking at Tamiya French Blue and White for the roof. I did buy the Airfix Triumph Herald kit as something cheap to practice on first. Any other tips would be appreciated. Thanks.
