oscarhardwick Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Hello all, Yep, its my birthday today... I guess the good thing is im still too young to think about getting older. Anyway, I got up this morning, got a few prezzies, namely the revell ferrari 250 gto and paints from my grandparents. I was looking through the contents (which scrub up very nicley) and then it hit me... I have nothing to remove the parts from the sprue, no files, and no airbrush... now, i dont know what you will think of this decision, but i have chosen to not use an airbrush for the time being, only because i am used to a good 'ol spray can... and humbrol do a ferrari red spray anyhoo. So, i went onto Antics.co.uk as its supposedly a good UK model shop... I dont really know for myself... wonderland models got my GTO to the house in 2 days for only £3 P+P. But, i have placed and confirmed an order with antics... and it is as follows: Humbrol No 220 Italian Ferrari Red Acrylic Acrylic Modellers Spray 150ml Antics Sprue Cutter Italeri File Set with 3 grades of Files Revell/Monogram 1/25 69 Dodge Charger Daytona car Kit Humbrol No 15 Midnight Blue Acrylic Modellers Spray 150ml Expo Red Sable Paint Brush 00 Revell 4 Gloss White 14ml Paint Tinlet All of this added up to £34.23, or as the bulk of this forum is from the US, $56.19. Now, from what it looked like... this was a good deal, a revell daytona kit, a couple of sprays, clippers, files, paints and paint brush incl. P+P. But me being a complete newbie to this... I've got a couple of queries. Will just applying a spray and then a gloss be ok for the cars bases? Also, is the daytona kit any good? And finally is a humbrol spray the right way to be going? well... i think thats all folks. thanks. Oscar. P.S; thanks for the PM george53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Cole Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Being from the States, I am not familiar w/ Humbrol sprays. I have seen the tins, but never any spray. Hopefully someone on your side of the planet can help you. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
