Scale modelling

Most show 3 views, with some the instruction sheet of some plane models showing 4 views (Left Right Top Bottom). At least 2 views are shown in all models.Originally posted by nismoS132:do the model kits come with 3-view blue prints?
or only isometric? -
Its not necessary, but advisable. At the very least do your painting and gluing in a well ventilated area. For your health if nothing elseOriginally posted by wd1:i read that it is impt to wear a face mask when airbrushing...
haha my SARS N95 masks left over from last yr might do the trick.
so is it really necessary to wear the mask?

Viper, where do you get your airbrush? i'm thinking of getting one at the hobby shop in tiong bahru plaza...think the cheapest is <200 for double action -
50% is for some Trumpeter 1/48 and 1/32 items, the MiG-19s and -21s and the Dauphin helicopters. I don't think they sold too well over here. IIRC some of the earlier (ie crappier) Trumpeter AFVs were at 50% also.Originally posted by Prodigy:40 and 50 % off too??? wat kinda items? please dont tell me AFVs' are involved!!!!

40% is for the Revell and Tamiya 1/32s. The Revell Tornado ECR, F-4F Phantom and some others were going at the price as well as the TAM 1/32 F-4C/D and F-4J (I think).
Prodigy, I got my airbrush from Hobby Focus last year. My old airbrush got busted during my move back from Australia and I only found out when I *urgently* needed to get a model done.
