It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Hmm, the scale looks good, 1:1, do you have to paint her yourself?

Hello all.
I'm thinking of picking up this...hobby, - making models of either aircraft or ships.
It's ben a long time since I last touched this, and on top, my wife might be in on this as well, so I ask you, always-wise forum for advise, - where to start?
I am thinking plastic-aircraft in not the smallest scale, as well as possibly sail ships.
So, is it all Revell still today, or is there some nice stuff to begin with?


I have only done aircraft, so here are my two cents regarding aricraft models

A good scale for detail and size is 1/48th. It's my favorite scale and I think it's also the most popular scale used.

1/72nd it too small and the larger scales require more detail for the size and most kits do not provide that greater detail at 1/32 or larger.

Tamiya kits are my very favorite, followed by Hasagawa. They usually are pretty expensive.

A great starter kit would be one of Tamiya's 1/48th P-51 Mustang versions  with something other than a metalic finish. The kits are pretty simple, not very expensive, don't have a lot of parts, fit great and look great.

This guy knows nothing about models and what it takes to make them.  Don't listen to a word he says.  You have been warned.

Hehe...

Söring, - Sörland like Kristianssand-Lista?
I was there once, and heck, they knew how to throw parties.
