Well, i think it’s best tank museum from exposition side.

Fair enough, it comes up quite often. I only discovered this properly a few years ago when I got serious with air brushing, which is where thinners have to be used with Tamiya paints. In fact I never realized that Tamiya acrylics are really meant for air brushing and are Probably the worst acrylic for brush painting.

I’ve not done that yet although I’ve manage to have a few other accidents!

p.s. Don’t worry about mondog he’s just a troll so ignore him.

My grandfather has helped that museum with writing texts and such.
Also, they have sexy Centurions there.

The Tamiya StuG 3 is good, decent detail, cheap and very easy to make.
Tanks are way easier to build than planes, but planes are more popular to make because Spitfire and Mustangs

The arguments I’ve read discussed why the acrylic lacquer colors used different composition than the acrylic aqueous colors. I guess my choice of words was wrong. What I meant was that they were not water based as someone would expect after reading they are acrylics.

Don’t forget about spilling paint from the airbrush cup all over the place :)

Not used Gunze myself as they’re not readily available in the UK but I do have a good stock of Tamiya paints. Lovely for the air-brush but pretty awful when it comes to brush painting. Vallejo seem pretty good when it comes to the latter, when thinned. Good coverage and they level out well.

A sharp knife and cutting yourself … that’s part of being a modeller surely as is sticking your fingers together after a bit of a problem with CA :-)

I buy the Tamiya 1:35 Stug kit to practice a technique on before I apply it to a 1:16. They’re almost so cheap you can throw them away and not feel bad about it.
