Hello Bopanzer, welcome

Welcome onboard Will.

Hi alt 92, Thanks Alt92, I'll keep that in mind

Troy, Once again, the information you have passed on is priceless, I am in awe at your attention to detail on all matters. I ended up taking the 3 offers on from Creative Models that you linked me to . Its a marvellous supplier of almost everything under the one roof. My shopping cart is rather full now Amazing amount of information and lovely builds Thanks again Troy

Thanks Werdna, thats 2 referals for Hobbyboss, Ill go and choose now

Well, I say best brand but probably mean best brand to build. I was trudging on web to see if Eduard made such a kit but I do not think that they do. Anyone have a good build experience from a kit in the 1:48 scale?

Bedankt alt 92, Great information, Tamiya X20a in basket now

Hello Troy, Firstly, thank you very much on the excellent and very informative reply. I am amazed and very grateful for the effort that you looked into upon my post. It is astounding. In my very short time at the Britmodellers forum, I have been given a tremendous amount of good feedback and information. What a marvellous place to be part of The set I got from them was this little box.... I could see now that this does not really represent the Spitfire MkVb. Is it just a camouflage set for general? My thoughts are that i will keep this little set, procure the Tamiya colours that you mentioned and continue the build with the correct paints when they arrive. Can I use the Vallejo airbrush thinners with the Tamiya paints? Your pictures of the actual Vb are a marvel to look at and I appreciate the time you made to look into this all for me. Regards PlasticUtopia P.S. Britmodeller, at it's best I like to sum up as answering questions you didn't know you needed to ask. Your signature, Very very true

Thanks Dave, I will look into the after market kits. Thank you so much for advice

George, that has amazing detail, outstanding paint work.

The detail is so fine and precise . Fabulous build

Hello All, Just about to start this little kit I got. Ive just newly acquired an airbrush and will be giving it a shot on this. As jean and bigbadbadge gave me some advice, ill certainly take my time with this one! It has the option for the clipped wings? I don't really like the look of them to be honest. Going to make it with the rounded tips If anyone has made this one before, I am open for advice and tips {I am very much a beginner still } My local model shop said the brand "Lifcolor" were good and gave me a themed 6 pack set for this particular build. On further inspection, I don't think they are the correct ones? Any advice is fully appreciated. I will endeavour to post progress pictures Thanks Plastic Utopia

A warm welcome Istvan.

Hi Kpnuts, Nice win I look forward to seeing the lovely Tamiya Porsche. Get well soon from the CV.

Greetings Whiteraven, Warm welcome to you. I'm a new member also and have received great advice, which, I'm sure you have had too already. There is a nice TV series available on the Airfix range and how modern day design is done. Its called Hornby: A Model World. {Hornby own Airfix, Corgi and Scalextric} Maybe you can stream from Pennsylvania if you run a VPN? https://yesterday.uktv.co.uk/shows/hornby-a-model-world/

My impatient attempt of the P-40B Warhawk. I now realise you can get clear plastic glue, which I now have

Hello all. Just checking in with my noob status. Ive just started modelling at the young age of 57. Just got my airbrush and built my wee workstation. Hoping to show my efforts on here very soon!!!
