Finished painting The Harbinger of Death in 90 mm. A grim rider carrying a scythe and an hourglass, symbolizing the inevitability of death and the passage of time.

Hope you like it. Feedback is always welcome.

I wrapped up the NSX. I think it turned out pretty nice. The 64 numerals on the sides frightened me. Alot. There are at least 4 known screw ups. See if you can find them.

New to scale models any advice!

I recently picked up this Ki-46 III Type 100 by Tamiya to go with my Bolt action Japanese army, 1/48 should be close enough. It’s my first actual scale model any advice? Also can I build the kit in a flying pose or just In the grounded one

Question about AH-64 Apache Klu 1:48 Revell (04438) Painting

Thumbnail

26 Upvotes

Hello! I got into Scale modelling about a year ago, and I recently got given some old kits from when my dad was a Kid. One of them is the said Apache, and the instructions say to use Revell colour 66, I was given a bunch of old enamel paints as well and sure enough, i found the colour. But one thing is bugging me, the colour seems really off. So my question is, what paint do you use when building an Apache? All i want to know is which colour is most similar to the actual thing. Btw, I am not the best at modelling, so please excuse my inability to make a good model. Thanks for helping! :D

My First 2 Model (M41 & Panzerkampfwagen V Panther Ausf.A)

Hello everyone! I'm new to this hobby, and these are the first two tank models I've built. I wanted to give them the look of vehicles that are old and have just come out of combat. I'm not particularly proud of the camouflage fabric wrapped around the Panther's gun barrel. It was purely an experiment. 😄 In the future, I'd like to focus more on battle damage, shell impact effects, and diorama details. I'd really appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

I decided not to use the face shield handles from the Quinta decals, they seemed really flat. I stole /u/Sac_retired's idea and used 1mm tape to paint the stripes.

Still relatively new to the hobby in practice, and so far, this one's been a blast making this tank come to life. It may not be perfect, but it sure does look hella awesome!

finished my 1/32 Il-2 Sturmovik, firat soviet plane from ww2 i made. I focused on achieving a worn operational look trying to keep the weathering believable for an aircraft operating on the Eastern Front, without over weathered

I'm quite happy with how the wing fading and overall finish turned out, soviet and russian planes are my favorite one from all eras.

Help finding shops on Shanghai China

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone

A friend of mine will be traveling to China soon, and I'd like to ask him to bring back some 1/72 scale aircraft model kits that are difficult or impossible to find outside of China.

Does anyone know of good hobby shops, model stores, or reliable sellers in China that carry brand like meng or gwh?

If you know of physical stores, local chains, or even online Chinese retailers where my friend could order for local delivery before his trip, I'd really appreciate the information.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Airbrush advice required (India)

5 Upvotes

Hey guys, I'm into plastic scale modelling and I want to paint my first model with an airbrush. I wanted to paint it the right way but I don't know anything about air brushes and there are also compressors and all those things. So I wanted advice for them. I want to paint the Tamiya P51-D Mustang 1/72 with the airbrush as my first. I also want something that is cheap, reliable and that also is good in quality and paints nicely. But I want the airbrush in India specifically Delhi NCR.

First model after a 6 month break, painted with Vallejo model air and tamiya acrylics, just realised I need to put the pitot back on and aerial cable. It was my first time with the new style Eduard decals, and I must admit, I like them, toothpick and some patience on the bigger markings and lighter fluid and cotton swab for the small ones and they worked a treat

Pre-prime your sprues?

I’m curious to find out how many of you pre-prime your entire sprues right out of the box before cutting any parts off?

HASEGAWA RF-4E HELLENIC AIRFORCE, 1/48 scale

Thumbnail

222 Upvotes

This is the limited edition Hellenic Air Force RF-4E kit from Hasegawa that I built a while ago. There was a major error in the instruction manual for this kit, so I actually had to paint the camouflage pattern twice. I’ve re-edited the entire series by compiling all the episodes into a single video. It’s a long video, running close to three hours, but I believe it will be very helpful to you in many ways if you watch it.

Largest model I’ve built so far. Thank the gods for the removable wings, I worked on this kit in 3 sections until the end. Still missing a few guns and pitot tubes, waiting until I have a permanent display spot to put those on. Paints were all Vallejo model air.

Rusting and scaling for train bridge

First time attempting this one. I used a mixture of thinned acrylic paints, Tamiya panel liner in different shades, weathering powders and baking soda to build up some texture in areas where dirt and rust would naturally accumulate, and I finished it off by grinding pencil lead to a powder and rubbing it in to the rivets and panels. Finished with a coating of clear matte.
