Does anyone know which Manufactures make an affordable Formula 1 kit ? I have seen the Fujimi and Tamiya kits but most of those kits are over $40. Being on a fixed income on SSDI I use model building as a way to occupy my time. I cant afford those $40-50 kits lol. So if anyone knows of an affordable Formula 1 kit for up to say $20 please let me know. Thanks in advance. Much appreciated.

Can you guys please post your method or procedures of how you will paint your kits ? Being a new guy this is what Ive taken to this point. Wash in soapy warm water, trim excess flash etc. Primer, Wet Sand with 400 grit wet/dry sand paper. Base coat, wet sand with 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper, two color coats, coat of future, wet sand with Micro Mesh for shiny finish, clear coat, Decals, another clear coat, polish with Zymol, give a squirt of meguires and buff with cotton rag. Anxious to see if anyone else has a different quicker method or procedure for a quicker time span with same results. Or to see if Im using the wrong grits etc. Thanks in advance for all your info.

Does anyone know of any model clubs in Pennsylvania (I reside in Centreal PA) ? Im very new to modeling and would be interested in joining a model club. Thanks for any info in advance.

Do you thin the paint after you decant it or just decant it and shoot it straight from the airbrush ?
