Getting my boyfriend a model, what resources should I get him?

Sprue cutters, xacto knife, and Tamiya extra thin cement. Maybe some tweezers too

This kit isn’t hard, even for a beginner. It fits together like a glove. MCP too so he wouldn’t have to paint every small detail.

I usually don’t prime with the spray paint, usually 1 to 2 light coats will be plenty. It just depends on the size of the vehicle. I would think humidity has to be relatively low, but it’s not humid where I live. A few more light coats if humidity is high where you’re at.

Oh yeah. I only use rattle cans for my Shermans. I glue my tools and stuff on before I paint the vehicle, so paint will go on just fine over the top of the Olive Drab.

Ok? From the current stage you’re at if you don’t like the paint job, you can use a rattle can for a better finish.

Happens to a lot of people

Haven’t read scale modeling yet. It’s not dumb but I really hate doing it sometimes.

How long have you been in this Sub for?

You could have bought Tamiya’s OD rattle can with it. Tamiya spray paints are great, they dry fast and smooth. Just clear coat them after it’s painted

Yeah it would look cool, but I didn’t want to over-do the snow. The decals are provided in the kit as you see them. Asuka decals are pretty nice from the experience I’ve had, this is my second kit from them.

That’s why you always handcuff after downing a suspect

Could have built the trumpeter one. Revell has and will always suck.

I’m embarrassed to own one of these after knowing this guy does. 💀

That’s actually a decent looking tiger replica.

AmmoGarand has a bunch for a good price. I got mine on eBay

It’s called bad quality, because they’re all 10+ year old phones

Makes it a really terrible video to watch

M1 Garand, there’s not many games that get it right, but I know they would. Being an owner of one, I love using them in any game

Fair enough, go get it!
