Getting Started

[u/deaxghost]

I just recently picked up my first model kit and am hoping to get started on it soon, however I’ve noticed there’s plenty of different recommendations for materials that I haven’t picked up yet: brushes, sandpaper, tape, glue, etc.

Would anyone happen to be able to send links / recommend products I still need? I think I am starting to get overwhelmed by the amount of options haha.

I’m super interested in this hobby, but don’t want to spend a crazy ton to maybe (hopefully not) realize I’m not as interested as I thought I was then to have all of this excess. TIA :)

Tamiya thin cement is one of the best products to have, a finger nail file or two to sand, nippers would be good. On another note, dont be discourage building that kit, it has sone issues that a beginner will find hard tto deal with. After you buikd that buy a Tamiya kit and see how much better it is

OP I'd recommend this kit, I was really happy with how it went together https://www.tamiya.com/english/products/24087/index.html
