Checked over in the other thread the other day, but figured I'd ask again here because I'm bored.

Any Star Trek fans here? Looking to grab one of the 1/350 Enterprises, but are they all pretty much direct reissues? Also, anyone know if there are plans to continue the Cadet series, or did Ships of the Line take over? Can't believe there are no Maquis, Bjoran, or Jem'hadar ships and only one Cardassian ship in 1/2500 to go with Deep Space 9.

I know nothing about tanks, but it's a Stuart M3, according to Wikipedia. Brave and the Bold no doubt took some liberties, but I stumble on comic pages with blueprints from time to time, so I think the source material is pretty well researched.

I've never built a ship, and rarely anyone in these threads building one (apart from you).
There was this one guy who thought decals were stickers and fudged the torpedo tubes...

For the chips I used a mix of Alcald aluminium and some black paint. Then paint it dry with a small brush.
For the mud I used some pastels, dark/brown pigments and some acrylic paints.

What else can I use to thin Tamiya paints?
I lost my isopropyl alcohol bottle and I'm not gonna give gorillions of my schekels to the jews at the hobby shop for thinner.

Hey scale modelers, recently I bought this M41A3 RC in the 1/16 scale (heng long) its a lot of fun to drive around however, to my disappointment it didn't come with the accessory parts such as the machine gun, driver's view ports, tank commander and tools. I ordered them from someone on amazon, but the parts are all ten days late. I was looking for some input on how I should paint/customize this one. I've built a couple of 1/35 scale tanks, but my work looks like shit compared to most of what I see here..

Revell's entire lineup consists of:
Their own old stuff
Rebox of very old kits from various old companies like Monogram, Otaki, etc
Rebox of slightly newer kits from slightly newer companies like Dragon or Zvezda
and their new kits

Their new kits is comparable to Hasegawa. Their 1/72 subs are great, the 1/350 Bismarck class are fine, and so are their new-ish Typhoons and Rafales are excellent kits.

tl;dr; read reviews of any Revell product you want to buy first.

>>5363654
Ever try dry transfers like Archer's?

>>5363665
It's tamiya decals. No amount of future/microsol/solvaset will make it look good, especially if the decal is placed on a non-flat surface

I really like Tamiya's 1/48 WW2 ground vehicle lineup.

Anyone else keep all their boxes from completed kits?

>>5366109

Used to, until I realized I was collecting garbage. As soon as the kit is done the box gets thrown out.

>>5366109
when i was a kid, i used to cut out and collect those 1/700 waterline series box arts.

I wish I could find those paintings online, and print them out.

So... Does anyone have the Strike Witches plane kits? Are they actually good, accurate kits, or are they just gimicky? Overpriced compared to a non-SW branded kit?

Also, very annoyed that the sticker sheet doesn't seem to have a 501st emblem. Assuming it doesn't, does anyone have a favorite brand of clear decal sheet paper so I could print my own?

>>5366032
No not yet

>>5366464
>Are they actually good
yes

>accurate kits
accurate enough

>just gimicky?
yes

>Overpriced compared to a non-SW branded kit?
yes.

They're just re-boxes of old Hasegawa kits. They're good kits, but simplistic compared to today's standard. You could find them cheap on Ebay, but if you really want those SW decals, then you're stuck with them.

>>5363284
from my knowledge Revell Germany(the ones with the blue boarders) are great kits, I have a 1/48 bf 109 it has a great amount of detail although it can be tricky getting parts to hold together, but it peices have no gaps or pieces that don't line up.

however there kits without the blue boarder are really shitty, they're kits from like the 50's which huge gaps (like 3mm unfixable gaps).

>>5366464
literally why?

just buy a Hasegawa or Tamiya A6m

Thanks for the link, anon. I ordered some from amazon uk a while ago, still no word on it from them if I still don't hear anything next week well after the holidays I'll order from imex.

So I'm working on my tiny U-boat and I've encountered a "problem". I thinned Italeri acrylic paint with Vallejo thinner and after spraying left it to dry for 24 hours. When I took the model today it was still not fully dried. It has never happened before. How long do you guys leave paint to dry before you work on your models further? I think the problem is Vallejo's thinner because when I thinned my paint with water they dried faster.

>>5367957
I have never had problems with vallejo paints drying (really fast) so I really think its the Italeri paints being the main reason and not the thinner. Are you sure it wasnt drying retarder instead of thinner?

So I went and got the Friul tracks for the SU-100. They arrived today and I finished assembling the other side. Now im wondering if I should add one more pair of links more for more sagging, since it seems there are some spare track parts.

I´ll get better pictures when im sober, ill do the other side with one more pair just for comparison pictures with more sagging.

If you wanna build a 1/16 Miniart figure be prepared for a lot of filling, sanding and some sculpting and scratch building. The figures are cheap but they require a lot of skill to be build.

Some little fixes here and there and chipping to corners and places with wear and tear. And ofcourse little details like tools and roadwheels.

>>5369503
>How are you going to paint the tracks? Paint or some kind of burnishing fluid?
Dont know yet, most likely will just paint it with earthy tones and run sandpaper over it for some metallic shine.

>>5369544
I agree with you, I just finished other side, this time with one extra link added and it looked not good at all. I´ll just go with no sagging, the weight of tracks really does make it nice, so much better than vinyl tracks.

>>5369521
I bought them because I thought I was going to buy Dragon's premium Panther D. But it got sold at my LHS. Now it's between Tamiya and Zvezda. I'll probably buy the Zvezda one because the Tamiya one is too expensive.

I'm going to start with primer, then a coat of Model Air Russian Green 4B0. I'll paint the wheels black-grey, and the tracks separately with dark silver. I'll paint the bits in the cab. Then it'll be a gloss coat, decals and a pin wash to the whole thing, then an overall wash to the lower half.
Other than that, I'll improvise and play it by ear.

I'll just use some sandpaper and maybe buy one of those fibreglass pencil-brush things you clean up PCBs with.

Been doing gunpla/tabletop stuff for a bit and wanted to dip my feet into other scale models. Really interested in finding preferably a ship or a submarine, any recommendations for one that's maybe beginner/intermediate. Haven't worked with anything this small.

The main body is made up of 10 separate parts, including the bodyshell, the engine cowling (which is removable) and 8 pieces which line the chassis plate (4 on each side). It's a pretty tight fit once the cockpit tub is installed and required a little filing in order to bring it all together.

>>5374237

Decals weren't too bad, the biggest difficulty was that I've never built a Revell kit before this one , and I wasn't used to how thin they were. All decals were applied with a combination of Micro Set and Micro Sol.

>>5374353
Modern subs are pretty straight forward as a beginner model. It's basically a tube and a sail. Color schemes are usually all black or black/grey with anti-fouling red. I'm a plane guy so I don't have any recommendations.

>>5376442
your water line where its grey changes to light grey is not correctly positioned. it goes up higher, usually straight through the middle of the anchor and meets the tiger stripes.

>>5376442
What did you use for the gloss coat?

Well, fuck. That's what I get for only following instructions and not looking up some references.

>>5376652
Future. Can somebody recommend me some good gloss coats?

>>5375995
Thanks but I'll point out some of the defects. The wing tip decals didn't really conform to the sharp edge. The insignia has some aluminum showing through since I had to cut it to get it to lay flat. I touched it up today. The big cowl decals have some wrinkles in them. Let me know if you get good results with the solutions. I've never tried them myself but it seems pretty straight forward and others get good results.

why is this thread dead? Does everyone got exams or something?

I used to swear by Tamiya kits, but the more and more cheap Airfix kits I buy (1/72 scale at least), the more and more I prefer the Airfix.

Much thicker parts, a much nicer colour to work with when painting if you don't want to prime every single part, thicker parts have less warping and so the fit is much nicer, without having to spend as much time with filler or sanding.

Am I just a pleb?

I've never built a Tamiya plane kit, but I agree with you about the Airfix kits. For me at least they are usually stress-free builds, and the decals are always nice.
Another big plus is that they have a decent spares service.

So I'm brushing on vallejo's white primer on my 1/72 scale tank and the coverage of a single coat is really weak, you can still see loads of original plastic color through. It takes good 3-4 coats to completely cover it up. The little details are even more of a pain to cover.
Will it ruin my final paintjob if some sections have less primer than others?

>>5382489
Vallejo primer (and really any other water based "primer") is crap. They shouldn't be labelled primers. Yes, it will affect your final paint job.

I used Vallejo, shake well, add a few drops of retarder to the empty cup before you put the primer in and add a little distilled water or vallejo thinner.

Do not add Isopropyl alcohol, it will turn the primer to mush and clog your airbrush right up.

>>5390552

One thing: Would the inside doors of the hatch be white? Or would they be the colour of the exterior?

>>5392401
I think most of the hatch doors were left same as interior, but as it comes to modelling soviet ww2 armor im pretty sure there were exceptions in this case too.

>>5392408
I mean logically, if I was a tank crewman, I'd want the hatches the same colour as the outside of the tank, so if an enemy plane came it wouldn't have something to 'zero in' on. It'd also break up the camouflage if my tank was stationary. However on your model the white of the hatch does break up the drab of the exterior. If that was my model I'd be tempted to put a simple red star marking on the side, but I'm sure no markings at all is accurate for a Soviet tank.
Really nice work though, anon.

I agree with your logic on camoflage, but I saw many pictures with white hatches and I thought it looks pretty neat, just like the white air identification markings on late war soviet tanks.

It actually is really weird how in some cases soviets just didnt use any unit markings at all, while on the other hand they were painted with all kinds of huge ass slogans together with unit markings.

In other news.
One of my favorite local hobbyshops is closing its doors and they´re holding sale because of that, I ordered some Tamiya paints and decided to try AK Interactive products, since they seem to have a steady following. Got me some Earth Effects and Streaking Grime enamel washes, and also Track Rust-pigment. They seem pretty good products, especially like streaking grime and track rust, while earth effects was a bit of a let down. Also, these are easily replaceable with homemade products of your own if you have thinner and enamel paints, and pastel colors to make pigment dust.

Wasn't sure how to best represent the bakelite on the magazines for the standard AK, so I left them clean. Looks okay at a distance, has some of that bakelite sheen and I wanted it to distinguish it from the wooden parts.

The stores here are pretty cool. mokei factory where i got this kit have their own in-store work benches and airbrush rental stations for about $5 an hour (IIRC). Also point cards (see pic), 1 for every $10 spent, collect 10 and its $10 off a purchase. Every little helps i suppose.

Actually, ordering a Tamiya kit from Japan (hlj or 1999) is still cheaper than buying it in Germany, shipping included.

>>5410602
Do you have to pay taxes for it?

>>5410615
Not if its below 23€.

>How are Tamiya kit prices in Japan

Tamiya prices are reasonable, nowhere near as bad as Dragon.

>>5410602
>>5410615
>>5410622

Let me give you an example:

http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10218345
http://www.hlj.com/product/TAM32575/Mil

Its 1800 Yen in both shops, thats 14€ according to google. Around 900Y for shipping (+ 7€). Together its 21€ and still below the magical number for tax free import.

Compare that to
http://www.dersockelshop.de/german-tiger-i-late-production-/-1-48

So if i wanted that Tiger i would order it directly from JP.

>>5410716
But that's just a 1/48th Tiger. All the 1/35th scale kits would have import tax and the price would be equal to the price in Germany. The only kits I'd order from Japan would be Gundams because they'pe pretty cheap. The only kit I ordered from Japan was a 1/48th Bandai AT-ST. It's a shame you can't get cheap Bandai's Star Wars kits from Japan anymore.

>>5410746
You cant?

I got a Stormtrooper just 2 month ago.

Besides, not everybody is interested in 1/35 kits. There are plenty of other interesting scales.

>>5410756
not 72nd tho, that belongs in the trash

>>5410746
That example works for all the 1/48 planes, car kits and some other stuff as well. Gundams too, but those are usually extremely cheap on amazon as well.

looks good, apart from the one bright green hatch

>>5410800
Front fenders are missing? On purpose?

>>5409509
>>5410221
Thanks. I used, after applying the primer, a Panzergrau RAL 7021 as ground color and as main color Gelbbraun RAL 8020 color.
Then added some black oil paint for the wash of the edges and to finish it I used sand pigments mainly on the top surfaces less on the sides.

>>5410813
Yes. The kit had Rounded off fenders but I prefer the angled type. At first I wanted to build a T-34 with bed spring "armor" but then I said fuck it and finished it as is.

Started painting my Bone. For size comparison, here's the Bone's horizontal stabilizers next to a Spitfire in the same scale.

Could have done a much better job masking the front, also im terrible at canopy lines.

>>5412197
scratch the excess paint on the canopy off with a cocktail stick

>>5412197
use a better metallic paint next time

like Alclad

Matt coated the U-boat. Don't know how I'm going to weather it.

What's the best Tamiya paint color for German tanks deployed in Africa? Dark Yellow or Light Sand? The former seems too dark, and the latter too light.

Dark yellow is the colour of post 1943 vehicles, use a sand brown

>>5415975
Depends on the year. 1941- april 1942 it was RAL 8000 yellow brown. May 1942 till 1943 it was RAL 8020 yellow brown

RAL 8000 Gelbbraun / yellow brown

>>5417468
This is off-topic, but is GuP any good?

Also post WIP of your model please

>>5417512
It's a sports anime with tanks and cute girls, that focuses on both equally.

>>5382257
>Hell, even ancient monogram models are better than Airfix.

What fucking Airfix kits are you building?

Also, as a fan of both Tamiya and Airfix I've got to say that what Airfix has over Tamiya apart from just cost is variety of aircraft kits available. Airfix makes mainstream model kits not nasty eastern European short-runs) of a varied set of subjects.

What other company makes a decent mainstream model of a Whitley, or a Blenheim, or a Javelin, or Shackleton?

And before you lot get smart with the above I know about the FLY Whitley (short-run, innacurate) the MPM Blenheim (short-run, terrible fit and glazing) and Revell's new Shackleton (which if it's anything like a few of their latest releases, Halifax for example, will only be a rough approximation of the real thing ) and no one else makes a a 48th Javelin.

Airfix, since being saved by Hornby, have begun to produce some aircraft kits that are the best on the market, and at a reasonable price.

So I suggest that maybe you remove Mr. Tamiya's tiny, Japanese dick from that yokel-like gap in your front teeth and maybe look at what else is available on the market.

Best description I've seen.


>>5417512

Give it a try, I was expecting it to be shit but I actually enjoyed it a lot.

>>5417479
That Ral 8000 looks spot on. I just gotta find it in a can at a decent price.
>>5417512
It's great. Some of the tactics are silly and some of the drama is corny but I highly recommend it. As for the model it's actually gunpla. I did get the GuP Panzer IV from Pairdot though. Bought some paint for it yesterday.

>>5417512
its fun, and the tanks are portrait rather good and close to reality. If you don't like anime you might don't like it though.

>>5417821
The actual figures aren't up to scratch with other resin and styrene figures.

>>5417824
They are cheaper though.

Jesus, do you own shares in Airfix or something.

The new Airfix kits are great, I'm not sure if they are better or even a par with new Tamiya kits(this is only because I've built only two new Airfix kits, while I've built many Tamiya kits)

But older Airfix it's are pretty awful in comparison with older Tamiya kits which still have good detail and good fitting

>>5418295
>But older Airfix it's are pretty awful in comparison with older Tamiya kits
Yeah, this is correct, anything released before the company was taken over by hornby is shit

Why is everything so shiny / wet looking? Is it raining heavily?

Surely at least the walls should be flat.

Yes, it is rain, as u wish, i know about some gloss
