Tamiya Supra kit

[paul_y3k]

wife has bought me the Tamiya Supra model kit and having not done any modelling in over 20 years (and all of those were aircraft) i'm a little intimidated by it and really want to make a good go of it.
Any suggestions ?

Hi! Paul.
If you havent already got the basic tools, nip into hobbycraft and get some side cutters to nip the parts off, a modeling knife, a file set, some tweezers, Tamiya glue(in a bottle with a very fine pointed brush) and off coarse the required paints. Youtube has loads of how too,s especially if you want to do a good paint job.
Important Tip: Wash all the plastics in the sink with luke warm water and a small amount of washing up liquid to get the mould releasing agent off and leave to air dry on some kitchen paper before you start.
Tip: paint all the small parts on the spru before cutting off.
Cheers

I hadn't done any modelling for donkeys years (last was Fogerty's Ducati) except a couple of cheap Airfix aircraft.
Bought a Tamiya WRC Subaru Impreza 1/24 scale and busy with it at the moment
Really impressed with the quality, not so with my lack of skill and occasional misreading of instructions.
Enjoying the experience though. Have an Integrale to do but that's an Italian kit not Tamiya.
