I had a hunch I'd seen it before. Unusual topic 😄 I did a short stint in the Typhoon software in the 90s and remembered seeing something like this on the way to the canteen at Warton.

Alright so since the most complex thing related to scale modeling ive done is almost accidentally used tamiya plastic cement as mouthwash you can probably tell im not good at scale modeling but i want my first moc to be good so im gonna buy primer, gloss, black wash etc but i dont know in what order to apply tamiya paint, black wash, gloss, primer and finally the decals. And im scared if i apply them in the wrong order im going to end up ruining 60-ish euros worth of supplies.

Depends what you're building but usually as follows: Primer, paint(s), gloss coat, decals, gloss coat (to seal decals), then weathering products and finally a matt coat to seal the lot.

First remark, Tamiya paint is meant for an airbrush. Some colors can also be applied with a brush, but they dry very fast. In that case you wouldn't need to prepare the model with a primer either. I use the primer mostly because the model has building materials with different colors. Only if painting is done and decals are applied over a gloss varnish (if paint wasn't glossy), and with a gloss seal over them, should you use any wash. I mostly use colored wash. Try to remove most of it and only leave it in the panel lines. At last use a dull coat.

I think we all come up with processes that work for us. For armor models I normally prime, do preshading, color coat with acrylic, weather with cheap artists oils and pencils/pastels and then a final spray of "dust" with acrylic. Example here: Disston Tractor Tank | Album by uhrwerk (1:35)

YouTube is your friend for modelling videos too. There are many channel devoted to plastic modelling. Some of the one's I watch regularly are
Nigel's Modelling Bench (does a beginners series)
Jeff Donahue Scale Modeling
The Model Shed
Yorkshireman Models
Nostalgic Plastic
There are loads of them.

As Steven says, Tamiya acrylic paint is intend o be used in airbrushes. If that is the paint you have, the best way to brush paint it is by adding a few drops of Tamiya Paint Retarder. I know that product isn't widely available so alternately, and brand of acrylic paint retarder should work. Again if that's not something you can get your hands on try adding a little bit of Tamiya Thinners (Isopropyl Alcohol is a cheaper alternative. As it's alcohol you might need an adult to buy it for you. Most importantly, don't drink it, it isn't that sort of alcohol).
I haven't tried it personally, there is a way to mix your own paint retarder – quoting form the internet:
most acrylic retarders are just glycerin, glycerin is cheap at the chemist/pharmacy. It has a syrupy consistency so put about 125ml it in a 500ml distilled water then add about 5 drops of washing-up liquid.
Unfortunately model paints aren't as straight forward as just painting from the jar.

I dont use tamiya acrylic i use just plain tamiya paint with no other labels on it
28 August, 13:57
![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
Plain Tamiya paint is acrylic. 😉
Somewhere on the jar it should say what it is. If it's 'X' or 'XF' then it's acrylic, if it's 'LP' then it's lacquer. I haven't used lacquer paint so I don't know how to use that.
Like I said, model paints aren't straightforward. 😄

if you not sure of how a paint will work or look like when you use it, you can use a plastic spoon to test the paint. Or if you have a model that has not been a success but it is beyond reparir, do not throw it away, remove the pain (Isopropyl alcohol can help a lot with that, and you can buy bottles of a litter or more) and use is as "paint pule". alternatively. you can use a simple piece of plastic (discarded/out of date student card, plastic packaging)....it is a good idea to test new methods and materials on something that you do not care, rather and in your latest model paid with hard earned money 😉

a model can certainly be painted with a simple brush, with no airbrush. but doing it correctly needs some skills. there are pleople that can paint a model with the brush and you will not see a difference with one painted with airbrush. i am certainly not one of them 😄 😄 in any case, the trick is to use very thin layers of diluted paint (same as if you use an airbrush)

As I said it's sometimes possible to brush it. Once I brush-painted an entire 1/72 PBY Catalina with a Tamiya aluminum pot. But if I would use that on my current model, it has details that would completely vanish because of the thickness of the paint. I would have to thin it almost as water not to clog up my perforated photo etch, it has holes of almost a hair thick. To get the paint to cover the shiny metal I would need multiple layers of it. But using it in my airbrush with an 1/2 part of thinner that can be done in a few stages with no risk of clogging. The models you chose should not have such problematic parts. [img1]

Inspiriert durch die aktuellen Anlässe in der Welt, meiner Liebe zum Leopard 1 und dem Wunsch ein Gebäude in 1:35 zu bauen, bin ich auf die Idee für dieses fiktive Diorama gekommen. Das Diorama soll eine Panzer Crew bei der Rast zeigen. Der Panzer ist ein Feldumbau eines beschädigten Leopard 1 der zum abfangen von Drohnen umgebaut wurde. Die Mannschaft nennt ihr Fahrzeug "Fliegenklatsche" (мухобойка).
Inspired by current events in the world, my love for the Leopard 1 and the desire to scratch build a building in 1:35, I came up with the idea for this fictional diorama. The diorama is supposed to show a tank crew taking a break. The tank is a field conversion of a damaged Leopard 1 that was converted to intercept drones. The team calls their vehicle a "fly swatter" (мухобойка).

This kit is more than 50 years old and amazingly good. The original tires in my kit had decomposed to mush so I got some Tamiya RC tires, machined some rims and 3d printed some centres.
The kit comes with a motor, lights and wiring. Motor hidden in engine block, 4x AA in the fuel tank. It even has little uni joints on the tail shaft.
