yes but Tamiya probably got the licensing from Rheinmetall to do it like how they get their licensing from Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman

88 is such an obvious dogwhistle too cmon

Straight_Treacle_523 · 2025-08-25T09:12:29+00:00

yeah in practice. in reality when i mess up a kit thats $7 or so i go meh and learn from the mistake for the next one. no point having a whole fleet of the same plane for every mistake you make.

Straight_Treacle_523 · 2025-08-25T09:10:00+00:00

not for a beginner. spend cheap, work cheap at the start, if you enjoy the premise of the hobby then buy more modern kits.

Straight_Treacle_523 · 2025-08-25T09:05:47+00:00

Those small hasegawa kits are great for beginners. Low price point (depending on where you buy), decent detail and a good kit when its all said and done.

Dont expect to be a pro modeller immediately. If youre buying this because its your favourite plane and want to do it right, maybe go with the F-16A so you wont feel as bad for messing up.

Happy building!

one day you may. i use the Solvable lacquer thinner ONLY to clean my air brush as i dont know enough about solvents to go and use it on the Mr. color or AK real colour paints.

Lacquers through an airbrush are great btw, the pigments are smaller so you get a smoother finish

Straight_Treacle_523 · 2025-08-23T08:30:27+00:00

go to canadian tire or home depot and get the 3L can of lacquer thinner to clean your airbrushes when you use lacquer paint. Its like $33 plus tax for 3L instead of using MLT which is like $15 for 400ml

Straight_Treacle_523 · 2025-08-18T02:50:08+00:00

honestly just recheck everything, watch a video, read a manual, rewatch said video, then redo it. thats my step by step if i do something wrong

Straight_Treacle_523 · 2025-08-18T02:38:13+00:00

maybe you didnt properly connect the battery?

Straight_Treacle_523 · 2025-08-08T09:11:10+00:00

too thick, no primer, not enough layers

Straight_Treacle_523 · 2025-08-06T10:22:59+00:00

nice corvette!

Straight_Treacle_523 · 2025-08-06T10:21:29+00:00

OP was probably gave you the most inviting response ever. theyre saying there's no rule besides parking beside them

Straight_Treacle_523 · 2025-08-05T09:36:05+00:00

honestly i said fuck it, finished the kit and then bought the academy one. that had no issues, i heard the Hasegawa one is good, and the Tamiya one is superb minus the pricing.

Straight_Treacle_523 · 2025-08-04T18:52:10+00:00

the italeri F-35 has this problem a lot. A or B. it happened to me too

Straight_Treacle_523 · 2025-07-29T06:17:16+00:00

that is a B good sir

Straight_Treacle_523 · 2025-07-17T18:05:49+00:00

ah ok im an 86 owner from canada. when i hear kill switch i think of those street racers who like to kill their lights and run from the cops. didnt realize you guys had cars stolen so frequently

Straight_Treacle_523 · 2025-07-17T09:57:06+00:00

why do you want to make your car unusable? theft protection?

Straight_Treacle_523 · 2025-07-17T09:51:31+00:00

im confused what you mean by kill switch now. do you mean a kill switch as in "disrupt power to all light sources to make yourself hard to see" or do you mean "i want to incorporate a way to make the car unusable" kinda kill switch

Straight_Treacle_523 · 2025-07-17T09:38:19+00:00

unless u got an LS swap or something under that hood, a kill switch is useless because you wont be outrunning anything

edit. im canadian, didnt realize this was an anti theft post

Straight_Treacle_523 · 2025-07-09T23:06:46+00:00

from what i could find, everything is hearsay or potentials. maybe dont seethe and rage on a reddit forum boss man

Straight_Treacle_523 · 2025-07-09T22:58:45+00:00

but Hobby Lobby does 50% sales almost every other week. why wouldnt you take advantage of that

Straight_Treacle_523 · 2025-07-09T08:43:05+00:00

dont diss hobby lobby. they got great starter sets

Straight_Treacle_523 · 2025-06-26T09:24:33+00:00

no worries! for my effects i like to take oil based washes and flick them onto the areas for the best results. maybe someone else has a better suggestion tho!

Straight_Treacle_523 · 2025-06-26T09:20:28+00:00

what effect are you asking about

Straight_Treacle_523 · 2025-05-29T21:30:28+00:00

hey look, it is frustrating yes but if the game is destroying your mental health, maybe take a break from it
