Admins please move it not allowed After 30 years absence and with more time on my hands I have decided to return to modelling. Clearly things have moved on significantly in many aspects. Things like photo etched parts and water based paints weren't available and all you had was a sticky, badly rolled up tube of cement and Humbrol enamels (and a faint whiff of thinners everywhere). It appears that there are many new tools available, many more easily affordable airbrushes etc. I know I am being lazy and I am sure that, trawling through the web and excellent sites like this, I'll find the answers but can you give me a flavour of what you would consider to be the best development in the last couple of decades that have helped you and I should get ordering? My eyesight is clearly worse and I've some strong reading glasses that will help, but what about lighting? I've tried to find the best place to post this request for help but I think I would have to post it several times in several sections of the site. Many thanks in advance PS the first model I am attempting is the Tamiya 1/24th Lancaster A nice, large scale.

As I understand it on German WWII tanks the pioneer tools were attached before the tank was painted, so they were not bare wood. They came out painted in the same camo as the tank itself. I am presently doing final point on the Hobby Boss T-35 Russian Heavy. Mine is one of the earlier versions and I am doing it as painted pre war, in other words the stripes are still on the turrets. Did the Russians follow the same paint practises as the Germans or would their tools have had wood grain handles. Thanks in advance for responses.
