New member in town, starting with a Revell B-17G 1/48 model kit

Posted by Dutch-modeler on Saturday, July 14, 2018 8:24 PM

Hi, I just bought a scale model from Revell, A B-17G 1/48 to be exactly. since this is a Monogram kit I have a lot of questions about what paints to use and what adhesives are the best. I’ll make photo’s of my work every step I make and then when I’m Finished I’ll upload them all in one single post for everyone to see them.

I’m from the Netherlands so if there is anything wrong with my grammar, I apologise for that.

Welcome aboard. Nothing wrong with your English, certainly better than my Dutch.

Welcome to the Forums! Glad to have you with us.

You've come to the right place. The members here are very knowledgeable and ready to help out with any questions or problems that you might have.

Don't worry about your grammar. If you post photos of your builds, they will do the talking for you. Post photos as you build (called WIPs - works in progress), that way if you have a problem we can help you fix it before you go any further.

Good luck and enjoy the hobby.

Main WIP:

On the Bench: Artesania Latina (aka) Artists in the Latrine 1/75 Bluenose II

I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.

Hello! The Revell B-17G is one of my favorite builds! Try the "Work in Progress". The members here are friendly and full of useful knowledge.(present company excluded...me). I wish I would have known about the forum when I first started, would have saved me some grief.
