Hi,
My name is Eric and recently moved to the US. I used to build a lot of plastic model kits when I was a kid, and since I'll be soon be admitted to the hospital for about three weeks, I decided to take up the old hobby. Expecting to be bored beyond belief, I thought I needed to do something with my hands. I used to think that i was good at this as a kid, but recently I saw some stuff people made on the Internet, and.....well, what can i say. Most of it looks amazing and lifelike. I really need to do my best, I guess! But I have time and patience
So I ordered the Heinkel He177A5 Luftwaffe Bomber 1-72 by Revell Germany, the German U-511 Type IXC Wolfpack Submarine 1-200 by Nichimo, and - very ambitiously- the USS Constitution 1/96.
I'm not sure what colors to use on either kit, and if I need to master the airbrush (never worked with one before!) So i feel like an absolute newbie. If anyone of you guys has any tips on colors/equipment to use, I would appreciate that very much!
Thanks
Eric
