hi
is there a pe sheet with the kit these days or can you get it from somewere else as i saw a build using one
what is better, enamel or acrylic
in Humbrol (Techniques, Tips & Craft)

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.
