I've finished building the Fairey swordfish and I realized that the wings are slightly bent downwards. Is this normal for a plane like this or is it supposed to be straight?

He can't fit because he's legs are spread out but I think he's meant to be in a hatch... It's from the miniart British tank crew Europe I think

If so, where do you get your models and supplies from?

I can't seem to find anywhere online that has reasonable pricing, and there isn't a local shop in Rotorua 😞

question What's the gripe of non interior Miniart kits?

0 Upvotes

Like especially when there's competitors for that kits. I only see miniart good because it's the only company that does interiors. I'm also petty I realized I bought the M3 Stuart with sun shields with no interior.

question How do you paint your wheels/tires?

0 Upvotes

Hi there
I'm currently working on my first tank (Tamiya 35009), and struggling with painting the wheels.
I first of all fairly new to the hobby and are painting with brushes.

My biggest struggles is to keep my paints separated from each other as I want to have the wheels painted in a sandy color while edge of the wheels should be black/grey.

The problem is that my painting always end up with some of the black crossing onto the front of the wheel and I can't seems to do it right.

How do you guys paint your wheels? If any of you have some general hand painting tips, I would love to hear those as well! 😄

Best regards

question How to get figures clothes looking lime actual fabric

0 Upvotes

So fabric has this rougher look to it that separates it from everything else. It's rougher than steel armour but smoother than cast texture... How do I go for a cloth look?
