Greetings All.
I have just found a great intrest in Armor modelling now. My Intrest is in German Tank Destroyers and SP Guns and Russian as well. My question is what is a good starter guide for Paints and such for a new guy in this Genere. Also I think my first kit will be the Tamiya Jagdtiger,or an Italeri Elefant or Tamiya Stug G early. Thanks in advance for some replies and eagerly await.

For the price, Tamiya also has a very fine line of paints for your ab. MM work great.
