it should tell you in the booklet........................
It does, but some of the coloures numbers does not match the coloures that I have and can get if in need of new paint. That+ the fact that I do not know what some of the paint descriptions mean. "Rat-grey" is a colour which you can figure out what it looks like but there are muuuch more wired names..

Yeah... 1:72 scale is quite small. The first model I made was a 1:72 P-51D and it was realy small. Now, I almost only build 1:48 models. (1:32 is too big.) For me, 1:48 is the right scale.
I'm quite proud of the 1:48 Spifire Mk. IX model I made. If I can find a scanner, I'll post its picture.

ev0 said:NiceThe only problem for me is that I'm in to music and music=instruments, instruments=expensive ;D so, I don't have too much money to spend on models...
Hmmm... That's right. 1:48 model are expensive. I paid my last fighter model around 50 $ CAN. (44.95 $ but we must calculate 15% taxes.) (So approx. 30 $ US or around 20 Pounds.) And bombers cost easily twice a fighter...
I checked on the American site of Revell-Monogram, and the average price of a fighter at 1:48 scale is 10.20 $ US. I think I'll buy my models directly from the company, next time...
But like you're in Sweden, you're better to look on the German site. Unfortunately, I don't have the adress. But I can tell you that their German sister company have MUCH more kind of models than in United-States.

But as I said, you're in Europe, so closer to some model compagnies. If I was you, I would search the net for some companies. Sometimes, ordering models directly from the company is cheaper. As I said, I know that Revell-Monogram has a sister company in Germany. Tamiya as also a sister company in Europe (but I don't know where exactly). However, Hasegawa is still only in Japan.
But I admit that modeling may be expensive sometimes...

Yeah nice job. I like the exhaust effect on the sides of the nose--how did you get that effect? Whenever I try to do it, it just looks like splotches of black paint...

Yeah. Great job, Black Wolf. It's in 1:32 scale, isn't it ?
