Just found this on Ebay, would this be any good? Tamiya 100ml Grey Surface Primer # 87026/* | eBay

Thanks for the replies guys! I like the look of the Amazon bundle, cant have too many brushes and options! But, I am leaning towards a UK supplier in case I need any support? Yes Dinger - you did well!

Hi, returning to model making after many years ! I have been given an Old Humbrol Airbrush set by a friend and feel obliged to try to use it! It is a single action syphon type that can work from air cylinders / canister or via compressor. I have found a Company in the UK that has 2 cheap air...

I have cast my vote for the Me262. I know that technologically it was a leap forward, but due to political infighting and ultimately the intervention of Hitler wanting it as his Blitz bomber, there were never enough in service at any time to make a difference. It also had engine reliability...

I know that some people are big fans of Kill Ratios, but I am not. The reasons why I am not a fan are ; 1) the success rate of one aircraft is a product of a LOT of factors. Some of them are ; the quality of the opposing aircraft, their pilots, and the doctrine of their air force. 2) The...

This is exactly the point that I was making in my original post. That the Beaufighter was a very capable aircraft but it did not appear to be as glamorous as the Mosquito. You could say the same about the Hurricane and Spitfire and possibly the P47 and P51?

Most people would probably agree that some aircraft were outstanding and grab a lot of the headlines / attention. Notable examples being the Spitfire and Mosquito - both very worthy in their own rights. But, they have taken a lot of credit away from some of their peers - for example the...

Well, its a hard choice, Me109, Fw190A, Me262,P51D,P47D,Spitfire - any Mk, to name a few - but because it was different in so many ways and added capability to the Allied efforts in all theatres my vote is for the Mosquito.

Sorry for the delay in the reply - been very busy! I agree that a the Ferdinand proved itself as a competent tank hunter, but do feel the lack of an armoured mine clearing flail type vehicle meant that the Tigers were not able to make the breakthrough either side of Kursk as intended. Also the...

Following the decision to use the alternate chassis / turret combination for the Tiger. Instead of using the "spare" chassis to make the Ferdinand assault / anti-tank gun, would the Wehrmacht been better advised to use them for mine clearance flail type machines to clear a path for the Tigers -...

An excellent find thanks for sharing!

The Soviets made a lot od improvements with their T26 including sloped armour and a 45mm main gun - the weight went up to around 10 tons? The T 25 went up to nearly 12 Tons ; http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/07/STZ-25_tank.jpg

Other countries including The Soviet Union thought this tank had merit - why did the British not develop it? From Wiki ; Production in Stalingrad[edit] The prototype of STZ-25 (T-25) wheeled-tracked light tank during tests at the Kubinka Tank Proving Ground. September 1939. The...
