Model Airplane Construction Kits
Tools for airplane model kit?
Okay the last question… What basic tools do you need for a good looking airplane from a kit(plastic ones with the construction and gluing and painting ) a ( 1 – 72 ) examples : glue, paint… but be specific… and if possible can you list, in the different paragraph, advance tools for airplane model
Here’s what I use.
glue specific for plastic models ( http://www.amazon.com/Cement-Deluxe-Economy-Bottle-NET-40ml/dp/B002DTLD02 )
A little CA glue (super glue) wouldn’t hurt either ( http://www.hlj.com/product/TAM87062 )
hobby knife
tweezers, of various sizes
plastic nippers to use to get the parts of the sprues easily ( http://www.hlj.com/product/MNED-3A )
a magnifying lamp ( http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENJP374&=&q=magnifying%20lamp&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi )
emery boards and sandpaper (around 300 grit)
putty, to fill in gaps ( http://www.hlj.com/product/TAM87053 )
I use a lacquer-based paint called Mr. Color. Used it for years, and I love it. I don’t know how easy it is to get in America, though. I always had to order it from Japan. Now, I live here, so it’s as close as my local hobby shop. I also use a small supply of Tamiya enamels.
I apply them with an airbrush, using this set-up
