First kit I built in over 30 years and I used this as a practise kit. The goal was always to bang it up and leave it as a burned out carcass and to use it in a diorama with a German tank. 6 weeks later and another 9 tanks on the desk I think I can say that I'm hooked 😉
I will upload pictures when things have been organised and I feel it's "done".

Thanks again for all of your kind words!!! 🙂

Scale modelling so far is making me feel happy, and I get to "tinker" and use my brain and my creativity, so I'm not at all surprised that there's more than a few here who discovered this whilst recovering from injury/trauma/PTS etc. I'm going to talk to my doctors about this so they can recommend it to other people in the future!

I've been recommended to use isopropanol instead of cellulose thinner but I need to find a cheaper source first because the isopropanol I've got at home is for PCB cleaning - and it's rather expensive what I've got. I'll try to order a 1 litre bottle of some cheaper stuff and try because isopropanol smells a lot less than cellulose thinner for sure. Thanks for reminding me!
I did try medical grade ethanol when I first bought the airbrush 6 weeks ago but it didn't play well with Tamiyas paints. Not for me anyway. It was only 70% and some of the other 30% could be the culprit though so it could do with some further investigation?!
Isopropanol is something I use for my electronics tinkering so that's something I need anyway, and it that works it'd be great!

And yes, it certainly seems I've caught a serious form of modelling fever! 😛

Cheers guys!
