hello

just wondering if anyone can help me out

ive bought a couple of the modelkits off ebay of the macross vf-0s and vf-0s with reactive armour

i want to start with the simpler model first it smade by wave if that makes any difference

problem im having is i dont know how to go about starting it?

sounds stupid i know, but i dont know what paint to get,

do i need an air brush for better results, or do i just use a normal paint brush

can anyone give me some tips on what to do, just like the basics

i know that i will have to sand down themould pegs for a smooth finish and to key up the plastic for the paint to stick better

what primer do i need aswell?

sorry for all the questions, can anyone put me in the rite direction please

any advice will be appriciated

even ebay links to the stuff i need as i can buy off there quite easily

thanks

:D

excellent tanks for that

there is some lovely art work there i carnt keep my mouth shut im gorping that much :o

i need to know what lacquer to get

i can get most of the stuff that people use like tamiya paint and oil based paints asweel, same with things lik erigger brushes

but i carnt seem to find a matt or semi gloss clearcoat

bare in mind im in uk so we may have different names for the same product!

also where can i get that microSol and microSet is it ?

thanks
