| Thanks for the very warm welcome.
So I headed back to the model shop and bought some tools, proud owner now of some files, saw, knife etc ( thanks Alan2525 for the heads up on what I needed )
I was looking at the paint and was overcome by the choice you have, so many different colours, shades, makes and types of paint, I thought it best to do some research on whats best before I bought some.
With that in mind I decided to delay making my Blohm & Voss BV138 aircraft until I found out what paints are best to buy, I was thinking about the VMC paints, lots of colours, non toxic and my local shop has the full range, problem is trying to find a chart so I can compare the colours to the other makes so I can follow the instructions paint guide.
Thats when I saw a 1:35 revell LVT - (A)1 Amtank, this model I was informed I could happly build and paint when finished ( unlike the aircraft where the 2nd step was to paint the crew )
So I started this project last night, the hours just flew by, already after a few more hours today I am over half way into the build, learning so much and most likely made a few mistakes but great fun.
Once I get it built I will take some photos and then start to worry about the paint job.
Thanks again for the warm welcome!
