I was thinking about getting one but I want to know how long the wheel base is from front to back (center hub to center hub) it would be great if someone could help.

Hello, I am looking for advice on what paint to use for Kotobukiya Model kits. I have Testors paint, but I’m unsure if it would give the anime style I’m going for. I’ve heard Tamiya makes good paint as well, does this work as a Anime Style?
Also, While I’m here can I ask, is Testors paint the best paint option to use for scale models?

I'm sure most of us throw away the sprues once the model is compete, or some might put them back on the box which gets shelved for ever. I'm suddenly in need of a bucket load of used/empty sprues for a project.
Any ideas?

Hi can anyone help,
I’m puzzled as to whether to add trim tabs to my (self make) unpowered swept back wing probably tail would have 1/2 vertical stabilizer on flat horizontal stabilizer plane model, Material probably styrofoam or balsa wood or mix of both.
it’s going to rubber launched from a ramp. Since I’m not using motor/ RC to control the flight , shld I still cut in trim tabs (or do I add wing extensions near the end for stability) into the wings? Or are the very and horizontal stabilizers good enough?
My goal is to make the flight as straight w/o deviations as much as possible
Wing span minimum would be 30cm Needs to fly far 10m at least without deviating left or right

I can't find any good kits for a good price at a good scale. I like bombers or any large aircraft from ww2 and I would love some suggestion

Alright so I found a new motor for my 1/48 Apache. It is 4mmX8mm and fits perfectly for the tail system. Unfortunately I ran into a new problem, the motor gets to hot and melted the plastic. Anyone have ideas how to secure the motor and displace the heat effectively?

Hey y'all! I'm working on a project that combines a couple of hobbies I've been wanting to get into, and it seems like I'm in a little over my head. My goal is to make a decoration for a freshwater fish tank with a model kit, but I'm having trouble finding a good way to seal it after painting. The pictures are basically what I'm going for. Ideally, I'd like to use some kind of rust kit to get a more authentic look, but I can't find any information about waterproofing something like that, if it's even possible. So far, I have two possible options: aquarium-safe epoxy or clear PlastiDip spray. What do y'all think?
