AllenB Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Back in the day....early 80s....I spent countless hours building WWII 1/48 scale aircraft. I haven't built a model since I was in my teens but I want to get back into it. Question is...what are some of the best online sources for models and paint? And what brand name paints are being used nowadays for airbrushes? thanks all! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RichardL Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 One of the best online sources is Scalehobbyist. The others are Sprue Brothers, KitLinx, MegaHobby, and Hobbyworld-USA to name a few. As for paints, I like Tamiya and Mr. Hobby Aqueous for acrylics, Mr. Color and MRP for lacquers. MRP can be airbrushed straight out of the bottle. The other three spray beautifully when properly thinned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RichardL Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I forgot Victory Models All these online stores are in the US, assuming you are located in the states. Some modelers have good experience ordering from Lucky Model in Hong Kong for newly released kits that have yet to arrive in the states. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bashace Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 There is also Megahobby, they are my source for Tamiya paints, they do paint bundle deals if you want an entire set of Tamiya paints. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
