As the tags indicate, I have bought True North Precision Paints and Mission Models to replace the Testors now discontinued. Does anyone have any tips that may help? I do know that Mission Models is an acrylic paint and will need a primer over the model(ordered with the other paints). What do you recommend for cleaning a regular/big hairy stick and/or airbrush? I did buy their thinner for their paints; I agree wholly with @Jamie @ Sovereign Hobbies that buying the brands recommended thinner is an excellent idea. I also have ordered from True North Precision Paints and ask the same for cleaning brushes and airbrushes. Has anybody used them? What tips do you suggest? TIA Joe

Hi folks. I am thinking of getting a new Acrylic based varnish for my models and I am currently stuck between two. The first is Mission Models and I have seen their tutorials and they look great. The other that I have seen good reviews for is Winsor & Newton Galeria Acrylic varnishes. However, for the W&N Galeria Varnishes what would be the correct thinner to varnish ratio. I have read that they work with Tamiya X-20A Acrylic thinners and I have read that they should work with ultimate thinners too. Does anyone (preferably anyone who has used W&N) know the right ratio for the varnishes. Another point is that I am starting to use Tamiya Mark Fit Strong as a decal solution and I was wondering if it was safe to use Mark Fit Strong on top of either Mission Models varnish or W&N Galeria varnish. I have read that it should be safe, but I would like be sure before I try it out for real. (I could always use a test sample first.)

Friends, Here is the Tamiya F4U-1 Corsair with the “birdcage” canopy. I used a combination of Mission Models, Model Master, and an old Polly Scale paints. I added the Aires resin “dropped flaps” for added realism. Like most Tamiya kits, it was a trouble-free build process. I used the kit supplied decals. Highly recommended. Thank you in advance!!!!! Respectfully submitted, Mike

My Mojo has been at an all time low for so long I can't remember my last completed model, but do know it has been over a year. I needed something quick (that is a relative term in this modeller's language) and simple to get over the finish line so picked a Meng Kids He177. This would also give me an opportunity to try out the new Mission Models acrylic RLM colours for the first time. I hope you like it as much as I have enjoyed building it. For a snap together kit the tolerances were amazingly tight, I had to scrape the paint off the pins to get things to fit. The clear parts were probably some of the clearest I've ever seen and the instruction booklet was well designed with some nice information on the real aircraft included along with some lovely artwork. All in all a testament to Meng's engineering and kit production techniques. The Mission Models acrylics were really nice to use and the colours matched the Kieroff Paint chips very nicely. Duncan B
