Hello I am new to his but i have checked out the model galleries and have seen the work you have done. They look so real~!

Neway, I'm new to this and could use some tips about buiding car models and painting
Heres a few questions
-Do i have to sand the model b4 painting? Where do i sand?
-Should i use a revell ITR or a Tamiya Subaruc WRX (the kit you guys said was easy)
-What kind of paint do I paint the interior with?

**Thnx! Plze give me any suggestions and answer my questions thank you!

hello and welcome:
1) yes u should sand the model before u paint it to get out the mould lines (small lines on the car that aren't supposed to be there, put there by the mould), sanding lightly also gives your primer something to stick to
2)whatever kit u choose is up to your personal preferance, but tamiya kits generally fit together nicer
3)for painting the interior i use spray paint found at any model store, for really fine detail get a very very thin brush and some model paint in a jar

also read the IMPORTANT threads at the top of the forum for tons of info

hope this helps
