Never tried the Humbrol acrylic but Tamiya is my go-to for airbrushing. Never used it for brush painting.

I’m currently in the midst of an F-16 triple build. If by some miracle I’m able to finish this month I’d be happy to join in. I have a Hasegawa Tony staring at me from the stash…

Same here with the old Buccaneer. I have the big Flightpath set and was a bit overwhelmed back then. I should get back to it…

A new tool Jag is a good thing, even though I already have a Buster Gonad from years ago, I’d like to make a second. I like the COD Gannet too…

Feel free to say “it’s not as bad as this guy”. There’s one member in the local club that has an enormous collection that fills an entire garage meant for a tractor trailer, and I use his to show the wife that mine isn’t that bad 😂

I have had building slumps before and moved to other kits and later when I return I often can’t remember why I stopped in the first place. I did stop building for competitions and this greatly improved my joy overall.
