Re: what brand is good?

The EVO will be great. Tamiya sprays are more expensive, but very worth it. The paint from the hardware store will be much harder to use, and just isn't made to work on models where the detail is as fine as it is. Please do check the FAQ at the top of the index, there is a lot about paint there and in the tutorial thread.

Re: what brand is good?

With a screen name like felix-fat-ass I'm guessing this guy has a sense of houmor. Good thing too.

As to the question, don't bother about if the kit is good too much, just pick a car you are interested in and try your best.

Re: what brand is good?

Did you mean Evo VI from tamiya? Or the Evo VII rally version? Deffinately get model paint. If you are getting that Evo rally car, spend the extra buck or two and get the tamiya paint. Your model will thank you later. Good luck.

Re: what brand is good?

I mean buy the Tamiya paint. It is the best spraypaint you could get for the Tamiya kit, if you want it to look good. Testors paint is very thick most of the time. Tamiya is great all of the time. Good luck.

Re: what brand is good?

The Tamiya WRX street would be a much better kit to start out with if you wanted. Non racing cars are usually better off to start with. You would need to learn how to use the decals. The WRX is very easy to make too. Either or. Good luck dude.

But there's no reason to be a jerk about it.
