Thumbs up Fairly new modeller.

Hi, Im kinda new to scale modelling. I have loads of kits just not much time. Im into rallying and I have built the Tamiya Mitsubishi Evo V(in Richard Burns Carisma GT Colourscheme) and the Hasegawa Lancia 037 Monte 83 cars. Im not happy with my results so I have signed up here for tips and inspiration to build them.

Re: Fairly new modeller.

Hi Welcome to the forum!
I'm also new to the hobby and don't have too much time for actually building kits - just buying them
You are sure to learn an awful lot here - I know I am!
I'm just about to start the 037, so post some pictures of yours to help me out
Again welcome ! Croeso !

Welcome..!!

I would recommend you read the FAQ section. It has so much information. I learnt loads from this. The P MAN paint guide is a must read, and the "what do I need to build models?" or something guide is a great read. After reading this, you will have a head full of ideas..

Also, the search functions bring up lots of answers, how this has saved some of my builds.. So much information. Good luck.

Man, you're gonna be so glad you found this site! My modelmaking has improved significantly since prowling around the FAQ sections.

Welcome to AF! Skip on over to the Motorsport section where I am sure you will fit right in with the model you are planning on starting.
