Thanks👍

Thanks Derno245 for the help. Pics are amazing! Roy

Hi Alan R, I've pretty much decided to spray the body shell and brush the rest. Thanks for your help. Roy

Many thanks JeroenS. I've used rattle spray cans over the years for DIY repairs. It took a while but it was something I got some success with every so often so I should be ok🤔. Thanks for the thinning advise too. Roy

Good question. I have no idea, but hopefully somebody will chime in.

Ok, thanks. That's a relief!

Thanks for the tip Spiny. Got a pale imitation of Halfords not far from here. I don't have to use primer on all parts, do I😱?

Thanks Old John. Time will tell how I get on. Just waiting for the glue and paint to arrive; hopefully early next week.

I've read many times how difficult this model is, even for the experienced. But I feel it's the right one for me purely for nostalgic reasons because, being a Londoner, it's the bus I used to get to school and into town, (didn't like school, but liked the ride, especially upstairs where I could smoke🙄). When I was looking for a model it just kept calling, so I gave in. I'm going in open eyed and am certainly going to give it my best shot but I know it's going to be hard. Going by the information you and others have given me I'm pretty sure I'm going to use a spray can for the outside body shell and brush for everything else. Thanks again. Roy

Thanks IanJ, That could well be the answer.

Very informative video. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

Thank you Old John. My build (and it's my first) is a Revell London bus 1:24. I'm not keen on getting an airbrush because if I don't keep the hobby up it'll be a waste of money. So for that reason do you think just using a brush will work on such a large model? Also, how much water to add; is there an easy formula? Thanking you in advance. Roy

No worries Jenko. I guess you're referring to availability? To be honest that was one reason why I chose to use Revell Aqua instead of their enamel, because they are not allowed to deliver internationally as it's flammable. I'm new to modelling but I hope I'll find a Spanish supplier, but they seem to be like rocking horse p**.

Thank you Jenko.

Thanks Spiny. Appreciate the input.

Thanks Derek D.

Ok. Thank you modelldoc and Black knight.

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie and I'm waiting on a delivery of Revell Aqua colour paint. I'll mainly be applying by brush and I read somewhere that this paint needs watering down for airbrush or brush use. I would have thought that no thinning is required for brush use, but I don't want to be wrong. Any views please? Roy

Ok, thanks.

Hi Corsairfoxfouruncle, Many thanks for the advice.

Thanks Faraway👍

My son and I are just about to start the Revell London bus 1:24 model. We're not that experienced in plastic modelling and from what I've learned, we are in for a rocky ride, but we will give it our best shot. Hoping to gain knowledge about our task from the forum and maybe give some back when we're more experienced.
