I only use enamels in certain circumstances when i really need to because of their drying time but I prefer acrylics because if you want a quick drying paint, that's the road to go down. Acrylics are also better because they have a wide range of other uses like being able to be sprayed by can or buy airbrush, which if you don't have they are a very good investment. For a F-111 I would use acrylics because you could spray it and have it dry quite quickly. Plus enamels take up a hell of a lot of thinners and yes the smell is nice (DON'T SNIFF IT!!!) but they can be very expensive. I hope this helps. P.S. you don't always need to thin the paint with acrylic but if you do use water because they are water soluble and they also wash h of clothes really quickly. they only need a bit of water to wash the paint of the brush as well.

I would like to see an Fw 190 in 1/48th scale as airfix have 5 in 1/72 and i hell of a kit in 1/24.

it looks lovely. i had the old one which wasn't bad but what is the big differences to make it more expensive??

how thick is the black waterline on the hull?

they would have to make a smaller one first i suspect to see if it was an area to start in

love the idea have a look at this http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj307/Allanscott31/airfix262/Airfix2011020Me262.jpg airfixs original one and a dh http://www.vintage-airfix.com/images/Type%203%20Dog%20Fight%20-%20Mosq%20and%20Me262.jpg revel monogram http://www.oldmodelkits.com/jpegs/Monogram%205410%20Me262OK.JPG italeri http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/nCoAAOSwPhdVT7Br/s-l300.jpg and many more. airfix will have a hard time competing with them
