Dr_PepPeR Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 wish me luck guys... ima get airburshes and compressors soon... this forum has been a great help.. thanks to all the masters and gurus Try to get the best that you can afford, for airbrushes get a good single or double action Badger or HG Tamiya and for compressors try to get one that has a holding tank. It might cost more now but it wil save you money in the long run since you won't have to upgrade. Good luck! Quote Link to comment
moxman Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Hi guys, has anyone seen any Disney Pixar CARS plastic kit around? i dont think there's one available. might as well have it vacuu-formed. But if anyone seen a kit anywhere, please tell me. im into collecting the die-cast characters. i nice addition will be a 1:18 scale model. Buy badger airbrushes! i bought the aztec airbrush with changeable nozzles.. much to my dismay the badger is better. so i had to upgrade.Its nice to see the hobby is attacting new enthusiasts. I hope i can see pics of recent projects here. Quote Link to comment
moxman Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Greetings to all who are into scale modelling!! I only started and got involved into this scale modelling bout 2 weeks ago...... Nakaka adik pala ang hobby na ito and once I've started to assemble it eh there's no stopping and I always want to finish it right away (jingle lang ang pahinga).......What I'm planning is to collect those famous Battle Tanks in WWII such as Tiger, Sherman, T-34, Panther, Pershing Tanks at iba pang mga Battle Tanks from other wars and also famous Fighter Planes like P-51D (have one already), German Messerschmitt Bf 109, British Spitfire, Japanese A6M Zero Fighter at mga Bomber Planes din. I'm glad to be one of those who are in this hobby and hoping for any advices para sa mga newbies na gaya ko. Hi dude! i saw you built a P-51D bubble top!try painting it! ganda ng choice mo for the plastic kit. tons of details. Here's some tip. try to do search for pics for a subject to your model. i once had a couple of P-51Ds.one was Chuck Yeager's Glamorous Glenn III. used SNJ buffable silver. looks fine. had to paint the nose yellow and red by masking the cone with masking tape and white glue. the other was the 1:72 PAF P-51D. the "Shark of Zambales" though its difficult to create decals without a decent printer and decal paper, i suggest painting the markings. the PAF insignia is not difficult to recreate. If you can render the tail insignia by yourself congratulations to you. well, you can always print the insignia found on the net. here are some images for inspiration. http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/1134/shark2xd3.jpghttp://img98.imageshack.us/img98/5844/shark3es0.jpghttp://img98.imageshack.us/img98/460/shark4ht3.jpghttp://www.paf.mil.ph/Gallery3/images/p51-1.jpghttp://img207.imageshack.us/img207/2382/sharkwh4.jpghttp://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m45/milspec/scan0002.jpghttp://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m45/milspec/scan0007.jpg i will look for the pics of my model before i sold them... BTW. be careful when painting over the canopy. it tends to get blurred. try to look for some NOVUS plastic polish. i doubt meron ganun dito sa pinas. test your luck though, this is the best item for plastic modelling.

Nicely built P-51! I wouldn't worry about the blurred canopy. The real thing looks blurred in the photo anyway! Joke! Quote Link to comment
