I am a beginner modeler. Been airbrushing for a long time and been painting miniatures for couple years.
I just got the scale model bug and got 2 models, 1/48 and a Tamiya 1/32 P51 (I know a little advanced but I am ready for the challenge.)
Here is my question. I am getting all the colors needed from a local hobby store. They tamiya, and some Valejo Air. The Tamiya seems to be good, based on what I read in the internet. They have 2 sizes. The small one is $2.25 a can and the larger one is only 50c more.
Is there any reason not to get the large one. Considering I will not be doing a lot of models at the same time, is it better to get the small ones?
Also, if anyone thinks I should go another route for the paint brand (mainly airbrushing) I would love to hear some feedback as well.
I always buy the bigger bottles when I can find them, the small ones seem to have so little paint in them that a few shots with the airbrush and the bottle is empty. The bigger ones last much better and I’ve got Tamiya paint that’s years old- it rarely seems to dry up or go bad.
