Caught your channel re-entering the hobby after a long sabbatical, it's very helpful because it is an entirely new industry now with kit prices and materials. The learning curve is hard enough , however, another problem is I have to rely on dealers on the Internet as there are no hobby shops to in my area. Do you have a favorite Internet hobby store you like to use? I have found Andy's Hobby pretty consistent and good pricing with many sales. In fact I just ordered a kit you might want to take a look at - the 1/48 Me 262 HGlll by Amusing Hobby - its is a new type of molding that helps alignment , so being new I thought I'd give it a shot - it's not too pricey, between 35-40 dollars. BTW that was a great price on the Zero. Thanks for any ideas you can send my way.

Yeah sprue brothers is my go to currently if you are in the USA. Of all the kits I've tried tamiya 1:72-1:48 scale kits have been the most beginner friendly kits I've done so far.

@@MakingModels11 Thanks, this really helps a lot. I agree with you on Tamiya, always reliable quality in my old days of building, there was a company called Otaki which had excellent scale quality when it came to surface detail. They sold out in 1986, however if you ever run across them, I think you would like them. I've also found Eduard to be moving up the quality ladder. Thanks again for your recommendations. Catch you on the next video

I grew up on Imrey-Risley Military Flats; simple, straightforward. Mixed well, too: I could make Dunkelgrun or Schwartzgrun with little difficulty. Of course, haven't been able to find I-R paints for 20 years....

[@MakingModels11]

Yeah I haven't even heard of them before. Thanks for sharing!

Consider switching from XF to LP Tamiya paints. Lacquer paint is so much better in every way ( other than the smell) , especially the clear stuff

[@MakingModels11]

I plan on having both full ranges one day
