Ratch Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Get something you’re interested in with a low parts count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederick Kullas Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Within your budget you could get the Tiger 1 / Sherman Firefly 'Gift set'.Its basically the same as two 'Starter sets' but with everything in one box.Any of the three newer tank kits; the Tiger 1, Sherman Firefly or Cromwell, are easy to put together and for your budget you could get any two of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenneth ONeill Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I'd agree the Tiger 1 / Firefly "gift set". 2 decently modern kits, paint, brushes and glue, spares (don't throw away parts you don't use) and even in budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Triggers Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I wouldn't bother with a starter set, get the same kit as a seperate kit e.g A01071B (1/72 Spitfire MK1a), and spend some more of the budget on flat brushes, liquid cement, primer from a hardwear of car parts store and a couple of relevant paints, maybe ammo or revell. You can find relevant paint colour conversion charts online. It will cost more initially but you will bypass things like tube glue and starter set "paint".

Ratch Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 But why would he want a Spitfire when he's asked in the Military Vehicle Forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RougeTrooper Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Agree with the above comments, Tiger 1 and the Sherman firefly.I've done them both and they are great kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
