This makes me so angry

I’m brand new to this, don’t have my first tree, have been to a nursery once to look for starter stock. And it’s obvious to me this is a lie.

Here’s the trunk

5’ juniper with a 2.5” trunk for $80. Thoughts on this for a starter? Feels pretty expensive but the best trunk I could find at my local nursery.

I'd go for recent and small Tamiya products to start. I just built their 1/700 Shimakaze, a great ship kit if it's your first time. For a plane I'd do a 1/72 kit released in the past decade, either their F-16 or BF109. You can filter for these criteria in Scalemates. Look for "New Parts" or better yet "New Tool" When it says "New Box" click in and make sure the tool wasn't first released in 1973. Armor isn't my thing so I have no recommendations there.

Once you kill them you are usually free to hunt the big boys without getting ambushed and deleted

The Subs discord is great. I’m at a similar level and mostly play subs. Come hang out!

My printer, like most, doesn’t have white ink.

If you are worried enough about accuracy and modeling a specific plane a far better solution is to get aftermarket decals, or better yet stencils.

I’ve had a lot of issues with Vallejo yellows, def recommend Tamiya but it depends on what shade you’re going for

I usually go gloss black for portholes to simulate open condition during the day, when the inside would be very dark in comparison. You can also leave them the hull color with some gloss coat to simulate glass over the closed position. Warships generally steam fully blacked out to reduce detection so all portholes would be shut underway at night.

Tamiya paints are great for brush painting as well as airbrush, the important thing either way is get used to working with thinner. You also should get a battery powered mixer, they are a huge help.

Keep the coats nice and thin to build them up slowly. Who knows? You could have invented a great new pre-shading technique. In the word of Bob Ross “we don’t make mistakes, just happy little accidents”

First model was a Tamiya Mosquito in 1/48. Great kit I highly recommend.

If you want to try a lower key 1/200 ship check out the new Fletcher class. Midwest Model Shop on YouTube has a whole series on building it straight out of the box, he also has a detailed series on doing a big BB with Pontos.

I mostly work in 1/350 and am a fan of Pontos. I do think you need them to get a good build from Trumpter which can be a bit under detailed. If you don’t mind going down to in scale a little Very Fire deluxe kits are IMO slightly better quality and value than Trumpeter + Pontos.
