The tamyia detail is wonderful I heard from most of my fellow web site modelers, there price is alittle expensive put it is worth it. I bought a tamiya T-62a and I have spent aleast 6 hours on it since I got it a couple of days ago. I got it for $15.00 at a local hobby shop but there is so much detail tricks that you can learn from these people it would turn you into a master modeler in no time.

I spend as much time as it would allow me to have fun doing the research, glueing, sanding, putting the gaps or wholes,painting , planning, weathering to make it as you wanted it to look no one has ever seen my models except me and that is what makes it so wonderful you are your only judge. Maybe some day when I feel I am ready to show the world my work I will enter a contest but for fun not to impress anyone. You should try to impress yourself every time you do something alittle more involved so it stays interesting to you and you want to keed tring new things.
