Re: Returning to the hobby
Welcome back to the hobby!! We need more modellers.
Im surprised that your local hobby store doesn't supply tamiya compound and wax. You can order these online, or an easier route would be to go to a walmart/autostore and pickup some scratch x compound and wax. If you can't find scratch x get megueirs or mothers stuff. The tamiya stuff is basically the same thing, just a little less abrasive. You will get the same or even better results using products meant for 1:1 cars.
My way for events:
clear
Polishing (sanding down the area with high grit sand paper)
cutting compound (also refered to polishing too)
decals
wax
or if you want to seal decals
Cutting Compound
Decals
Clear
Polish
wax
The tamiya paint you used is a acrylic based laquer. And don't forget mettalics need clear coat if you need to polish them.
