If you are like me and are and an avid collector/builder of such models, then I'm sure you have faced this problem time and time again......Where to buy/sell any such models from or have any information about where to get the required accessories, like paints, thinners, airbrush kits etc.
A bit about me, I have been a collector/builder since my FSC days. Started off with the first kit F14 tomcat and I guess my interest just grew from there. I made close to 30-35 models before I left Pakistan for approximately 13 years and came back around 2.5 years ago. I have recently started taking interest in model building again and found out that the shop i used to get models from has since closed down (near Ghakkar plaza, Rawalpindi). I have bought a few models from the local buy&sell website but I find that some people aren't as trust worthy as it seems (insert long story here for some other time). I have yet to find any forums/websites locally that offer the materials I want for this hobby whether its a good/reasonably prices kit or the materials required.
So that got me thinking that wouldn't it be a good idea to have a platform where we as collectors/buyers/sellers can discuss and share information or any tips with each other? I mean i for one would be really interested in the said information and tips or guidance. Ive seen some remarkable models made by a few fellow enthusiasts but i feel there is a lack of any information sharing.
Anyways, hope this rings a bell with my fellow enthusiasts and we can get this thread rolling

Thank you. I check Olx on a daily basis nowadays, having bought 5 kits from a guy in Karachi but I want more kits added to my collection.
I've just completed a Hawker Tempest MKV 1:144 micro-wings model, will post the pictures here soon.
here is the Hawker Tempest MKV Hand painted - 1/144 scale that i made earlier. This is the very first model that i painted and is more of an experiment than anything else.
Through the stages......
