It wasn't to bad. I got a few rolls from amazon. I'm amazed how much hobby supplies they have. Wish there was a local store though. I'd pay a little extra to support a local business.

Thanks for the advice guys. Got some enamel thinner and it worked great. Ordered some of that tape as well

And getting paint of brushes? Ive used gas, paint thinner. Nothing seems to work really well to get it all off.

Yeah agreed thats with just about anything. Gonna do a P-50 before I hit up the viper should knock the rust off. But I see what your saying just always thinking about the final painting. Ive been experimenting with different tapes. Ive found the scotts painter blue tape to work best so far. Any othe...

Good advice never thought of using a needle.

Yeah I have a photoetch set for the cockpit too and plan on doing some lighting.

Yeah it's big enough you don't have to worry. Except the cockpit might paint it first. Trying to wait till in get my airbrush stuff to start.

Lol well im probably gonna pop for iwata when i get the money. Far as guns go Ive heard badger makes some excellent ones.

Iwata is a great brand but you certainly pay for it lol. But I suppose if you only have to buy one once its worth the price.

Thanks for the tip and the Galactica is one of the ones i Plan on. About to start on a viper MK2

The nozzle from the bottle it's pretty small.

Last model I made I painted most of it then assembled but that didn't go so well. I'm wondering if it might be better to assemble all then paint or assemble some sections and paint them for a final assembly. Tips?

I don't like to do a lot of shopping around so I'm looking for one good all around kit. (hose, guns, etc) master seems to have a lot of these but idk the brand seems cheaply made. Any advice or links would be appreciated.

My biggest problem has been getting the glue to go on smoothly and evenly. I seem to get it everywhere but where I need it lol. Any tips?
