The paint on those are just simply unbelievable. I can't quit looking at them.

Thanks for all the replies and advice guys. I think I'll buy a couple of different paints and just experiment some to see what I like. Also its good to hear the 1969 Revell Camaro is a good kit to start out with, doesn't sound like it will be to hard to get started.

First, I like to say what a great site and what seems to be a really great community of builders here. I’m getting back into the hobby after what seems to be decades away from something I truly loved as a kid. Now I’m little older (33 years young.. Lol ) but still act like a drooling kid in a hobby shop. Although this time around I would like to start off on the right foot. I’m going to build for myself first but at the same time build to improve my skills. So I’ll build box stock for awhile until I get the hang of: priming, painting, polishing paint, filling pin holes, remove mold lines etc… Now to the questions on my first model: Revell’s 1/25 1969 Camaro SS 2’ n 1 1. What is a good primer? I’ve read a lot of good remarks about Tamiya’s Primer but I can’t seem to find it anywhere available online for some reason. 2. What type of paints are good for hand brushing? Enamels, acrylics, lacquer, which is better for this? I understand which paints are hotter and shouldn’t be applied over top of the other etc.. but I’ve never used anything other than testor’s little small bottles of paint. 3. Will glazing spot putty work for pin holes, body work etc..? Tools: Here is a small list of what I’m getting to help myself start out to hopefully make building a little easier and enjoyable. I have to buy most of this stuff just because I don’t have it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Spure Cutters Sand paper from auto parts store: 150 - 2000 grit (a lot I already have my in tool box) Atlas camel hair paint brushes 6 set pack Small micro file set Hobby knife with 100 #11 blades Rubber bands, tooth picks Polishing pad sets: for polishing paint to get rid of orange peel. Tweezers pack of 6, Sanding salon boards: (fine, med, course: 3 pack) Testors Cement, Super glue Anyways sorry for such along post. I may not ever start a build thread because I’m an OTR truck driver hauling medical supplies, so I’m only home on the weekends but it pays the bills.
