Hey guys, I am about to start getting into modeling with a plastic tank model. I was wondering if any of you had any suggestions and could help me pick out of this list on which would be the easiest to start on. These will have to be painted so tips with that would be appreciated as well.
I am picking from these models, price is not an issue on these. Keep in mind I don't have a tiger on here or panther because I would like to have a little experience before I tackle some of my top favorite tanks.

Edited by Ttasmmv: 8/6/2013 4:36:26 AMHi Raptorx7, I'm an amateur hobby modeler too, and I find the larger models easier to make and paint than the smaller ones. The Hetzer Tank Destroyer looks the easiest out of those you've listed. You should wash the parts in warm, soapy water before painting to remove left-over oils/agents that would prevent the paint from adhering properly—and paint multiple thin coats, not one thick one! Weathering your plastic models makes them look genuine. There's plenty of resources on the internet you could look into that would be of great value. Best of luck! (:- )
