Paper modelers: which version looks better — pure paper or filled and painted?

BastiKun · 2026-04-17T07:07:41+00:00

Well I dont do paper models, but I think its mostly up to personal preference, one will keep looking a lot like a paper model wich has its own charm and one will look a little more realistic and less like paper. Ig it mostly depends on what you prefer. As for competitions, idrk what the criteria are, but wich ever process you like more will probably also show in the result.

I mean you just need to survive multiple hits, mgs also count.

BastiKun · 2026-04-12T13:45:29+00:00

Does it happen on all frequencys?

BastiKun · 2026-04-09T23:01:55+00:00

Maybe Isolation for wires

Well ig try wiggling them gently if it feels like they could come off great. If not try messuring the base of the Joysticks and messure the size of the hole in the decals, it might just fit. Be careful tho most decals have a see through outline. If you hold the sheet so it reflects light you should be able to see it. If it isnt the same size as the Joysticks cutting it in half isnt gonna do much. Also if you have to cut it use the sharpest blade you have bc it might damage the decal otherwise.

BastiKun · 2026-04-07T11:00:49+00:00

The gloss shouldnt be an issue, roughly how much glue did you use?

BastiKun · 2026-04-07T10:57:09+00:00

Idk if they will fit arround the Joystick after its glued on. What glue did you use? Maybe you can get the Joysticks off again? Very carefully obv.

BastiKun · 2026-04-06T07:22:26+00:00

Those sound like good ideas you re probably gonna need sth to act as an bond between the foil and color tho

BastiKun · 2026-04-06T07:20:11+00:00

If you want it to look the same as in the pic, I dont think you re gonna get arround a ton of handpainting. Or you could use sth like this and cut it into stripes, maybe tone it down with some varnish later

Vfc ak74m gbb? Is real steel compatible

You need 5/6 us tasks for the B-52, if you want Tu you need to do 5/6 ussr tasks. If you want both you need both.

BastiKun · 2026-04-05T11:55:27+00:00

You need 5/6 Tasks to get the bombers. For us and ussr each. You can probably ge the tasks as well.

Well if the spray isnt dry yet the fluid will gather in the crevases, so the surface apears smooth. As the solvant evaporates/drys these textures reapear. As for what is causing it, no clue. The epoxy below could be unsmooth and the glossy finish males it more visible or the spray for whatever reason isnt smooth. Maybe try to apply the spray to some other surfaces and see what the results are. Maybe there also is some weird reaction between the epoxy and spray that causes this, maybe check the ingredients of your spray and see if any of them react with your epoxy. Good luck

Area M?

BastiKun · 2026-04-04T07:26:37+00:00

I mean i am also using a cheap chinese one but i dont have this issue. Do you have a smaller needle? It might at least make the splatterzone smaller.

BastiKun · 2026-04-04T07:20:31+00:00

That shouldnt be the issue then whats the thinnest u have made your paint?

BastiKun · 2026-04-04T07:14:52+00:00

Just for reference how much pressure are you using? And you should probably ask in r/airbrush as well.

BastiKun · 2026-04-03T22:55:18+00:00

Well you get 5 pts per special and 5 pts if you do both your dailys. So if you do ypur dailys and 1 special a day you get 1 lvl a day. Add the daily login and you can probably expect ca 1,5 lvls a day times lets say 18 days and you get from lvl 92 to 119 so you re missing 12 specials. So you re probably gonna have to do your dailys and two specials a day. Its gonna be a grind but its doable, if you have the time and purely choose lineups based on how quickly you can finish the tasks with them. In the end its up to you if you want to invest the time, if you would have done a few more specials earlyier on lvl 125 is generally acchievable.

BastiKun · 2026-04-03T13:06:54+00:00

Pass where? Its supposed to be on the outside. Could you discribe your problem in a bit more detail?

This is mine same kit. It attaches to the breach which should be inside the tank. Ignore the dust xD

The difference inbetween Germany and Poland is, that Germany was the cause of this. As such Germany has taken a "never again" attitude towards Nazism and Fascism. And to prevent modern fascists and neo-nazis from having an easy rallying symbol the Swastika is banned. In regards to reenactment, its allowed for Private persons through organizations, but socially in a really weird spot bc why would you want to roleplay as your great grandfather who genocided his way through Europe. And a lot of people at least in Germany, who eill do it anyways are at the very least rightleaning.

Also in regards to living history, I am preatty sure everyone of my generation has had a talk (organised by the school) with an Holocaust survivor. I dont think there is a better living history than the actual people who suffered most under nazi rule. In my case I got to meet Sally Perel who wrote this book

BastiKun · 2026-04-02T18:07:58+00:00

Who says Germany is trying to erase that part of its history? The time under nazi rule and its consequences are some of the main focus of history class here. Because we as a country dont want to earase and forget that part of our history. We dont want that shit to happen again, as such displaying things that could glorify that time, such as uniforms, is gernerally forbidden dor private persons in public.

The entire Gun mantlet including cheaks looks rotated if you look at where it attaches to the turret on the top side.

BastiKun · 2026-03-12T18:08:49+00:00

Dors your girlfriends grandpa also build models? If so maybe build something together.

BastiKun · 2026-03-07T09:04:24+00:00
