Post by UrbinoPrince »

1. How do you mount a plane on a stand?
2. What type of stands do you recommend for a Vietnam game- custom, your own, or manufacturer? for 1/144 planes and helicopters?
3. Where would you obtain source(s) for painting Vietnam aircraft and helicopters? what sources do you use?
4. What models/lines do you recommend for Vietnam?
5. What game mats would yyou recommend for an air game? tactical combat?
6. If not game mats, what are you using?
7. How do you prime, paint and assemble hard plastic model figuress? what type of glue, primer?

By 'hard plastic', I suppose you mean injection molded polystyrene. I use tube model cement for polystyrene, Testors brand, but others will work as well. I don't prime polystyrene, I just paint it with whatever I have on hand, usually cheap craft acrylics.
You'll shoot your eye out, kid.

This will be very helpful. FOW figures are often in hard plastic.
