Military Model Cute Guide - Suitable Military Model Kit Products for Cute Newcomers

Here are some opinions from netizens,

Young and middle-aged netizens who love games:

I usually play with warships and tanks, but occasionally use civilian vehicles. I haven't played with airplanes. Let me explain from several aspects.

1、 Types

Choosing the theme that you like is very important. I used to play with tanks at first, and later I fell in love with warships after making a 700 scale warship. Later, I started making more 350 scale warships (700 scale ones are too small for my eyes to handle). In terms of difficulty, I feel that there is no distinction between warships and tanks because they each have their own difficulties.
The difficulty of warships lies in the large number of parts and the addition of super modified etching sheets. However, making too many feels like the difficulty is the same, especially for those with a model foundation. After making one or two, they will become very familiar. Tanks have fewer parts and fewer etching plates, and the difficulty lies in spraying. Camouflage, aging, filters, shadows, and others can create military scenes. It's easy to make a tank, but it's too difficult to make it a masterpiece. Compared to tanks, spraying on warships is much simpler, not as sophisticated, and aging is not as complex.

2、 Board components

The tank's components are nothing more than MENG, Rye Field, TAMIYA, Dragon, etc. It is not recommended to buy anything else. You can buy TAMIYA just to play, but it is recommended to buy 1 or 2 for fun. TAMIYA is too simple and not very interesting to play with. Dragon's tank is the conscience of the industry, and can be said to be one of the best tank panels.
There are many types of panels for warships, most of which are tailored to the ship. Different ships require different manufacturers. Here are a few examples, such as JoyYard's Missouri, Tamiya's Yamato Decision Edition, Hasegawa's Fuso, Nagato, and IJN aircraft carriers, Fujimi's NEXT series, and so on.

3、 Tools

Glue and paint are like Tamiya and Junshi, there are basically no choices, just these two are enough. If you want to buy high-quality pliers, you can buy the Hand of God. The difference between a military model and a Gundam is that they need to buy soil and iron putty, and many parts of the military model need to be smoothed and repaired, which is necessary. But military models don't need to be polished with high grit sandpaper like Gundam, because the surface of military themes doesn't need much polishing, and in the end, they have to be sprayed with water to fill the soil and then painted. If you polish them badly, it's like battle damage, and you don't need to polish them to a shiny finish.

Netizen The Sun Shines Brightly:

Write it in two parts. The first is the kit minefield, and the second is the production minefield.
First, find your own technology tree, tank, warship, and fighter jet. Choose one of the three as the main pit. In terms of production difficulty,  "Warship">"Fighter"=Tank.

1.Kit minefield.

Do not touch model kits with the following keywords. Bronco, triangle horn operator, all European manufacturers, Panda, resin.

2.Making minefield. 

First of all, do not touch model kits with keywords such as etching, super modification, and full internal structure. Try to buy simple ones, such as the cheap Trumpeter or TAMIYA Model. The plain army model will use a large amount of soil and glue to make seamless seams and fill the ejection holes, so there is a relatively large amount of polishing. Spray army molds are rarely sprayed flat, and are mostly prefabricated shadows, cm techniques, or sprayed camouflage.
