Painting Plastic Kits?
I'm a beginner in plastic kits and at the moment I have a Hind D plastic kit from Trumpeter
Question is how can i paint the helicopter so that is looks realistic. What equipment would i need like a brush?
If you know some companies that sells paints and equipments for model kits, can you mention them please?
Thank youu
I'm partial to Testors paints: http://www.testors.com/category/133656/Testors , but have also used Tamiya: http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/category.php?sub-id=56000|59000|61500|64000|64900
One nice thing about Testors brand is that you can buy a basic bottle-set for military models that will allow you to the small details and basics with a brush... AND You can buy the spray-cans for the larger areas (they have MOST of the standard military colors from World War I to the present).
One thing I WILL really recommend is getting a subscription to Fine-Scale Modeling: http://www.finescale.com/fsm/ You get great articles on painting, building, and improving your models.
Other things you might like to buy:
Putty & sanding sticks to fill and smooth seams
White glue (like Elmers) for attaching windscreens
Blue Masking tape for masking areas you don't wish to paint.
GOOD brushes... the synthetic ones are pure crud.
GOOD LUCK
