Hello everyone just thought I'd introduce myself.

It's been nearly 30 years since I last built a model, but decided it was time to back into it. So I've been shopping and got some projects to start on:
1- Tamiya Chieftain (I know it's not accurate but building OOB as it's going to be first target for airbrush)
2- Tamiya M1A2 SEP
3- Academy Tiger-I mid Prod (with interior)
4- Meng M2A3 Bradley w/Busk

Funnily enough the last model I built was a Tiger with interior, but there are some things I want to change since I last built anything. I want to start airbrushing instead of brushed enamels and also try weathering.

I'll be trawling for tips and advice no doubt and will try and post some build logs. Any feedback to build logs would be welcome, as I am new to airbrushing and weathering.

Ian

First of all, welcome back. That is a nice selection of starter kits. I look forward to seeing some of your work. I would recommend the Badger Sotar 20/20, for your first airbrush(~$90usd on Amazon). The Badger Khrome Renegade is also a nice brush(~$125usd).
