Modeling tools.
Discussion
Bought a Pocher 1/12th model Alfa last year which I am finally going to start!.
Looking to buy an airbrush/compressor and the tools I will need, can anyone suggest a good place to buy these from?. I fully expect to do more than one kit so am looking to purchase good quality items. Will also need paint and adhesives etc.
thanks.

Skodaku, thanks for your comments.
Yes, you are right about the scale they are 1/8 not 1/12.
I realise that the Pocher kits are at the top of the difficulty scale but you have to aim high!.
I have thought about one of the engine kits as a starter, have had the kit now for over a year and keep thinking about doing it-just need to get going and start it.
The kit came with a number of "extras" such as better springs etc, there are a couple of websites that sell upgraded parts for these-wallet permitting.
Am looking at the Hiroboy website at the moment to see which airbrush to buy, should I ever start it of course....
Will post with how I get on.

Skodaku,
Its the 8C-2300 Monza, also fancied the Pocher Fiat model which I might do afterwards
I didn't think your reply was being negative at all, so no problem there. Its usefull to chat to someone who has experience of these.
Your comments regarding the Tamiya kits are interesting, Being a Porsche nut the tamiya 934/935 kits do appeal-I allways remember the Tamiya kits I made in my youth (that makes me feel old) were of excellent quality. I am considering "starting" with one of these.
Hiroboy list the 934 kit on their site but the 935 is out of stock, e-bay has some of the 935 kits but they all appear to be in Hong Kong-why no UK dealer has one I'm not sure!.
Will post with what I decide to do.
