I use Tamiya acrylics mainly, get some thinners too to slow down the drying a little. 1.50-1.60 per pot (approx.)
as for glue, the really extra thin ‘volatile’ stuff (tamiya do one)has low surface tension and uses capillary action to flow into joints
just discovered it myself, will never go back to gloopy.
edit: use specific clear glue for canopies – revel contacta
double edit:
just finishing off this meng 1/35 Bradley – full detailed interior. bloody beautiful kit
