@Vsdoc .. pick some up next you're UK side... get an airbrush and other accessories, like model ki surgical tools for carving rivets, and paints and brushes.. panel liners that accentuate the details, decal setter solution, proper thin modeling glue.

I just ordered some.. finally !!! Indian amazon pe half decent price pe mila !!

Tamiya Extra Thin Cement is nothing but a mix of 50% Acetone and 50% butyl acetate. Butyl acetate is ~$25/gallon from woodworking suppliers and acetone runs around 10/gallon. So in theory you could make a lifetime supply of "extra thin cement" for under $40 (Rs. 3200).

Surgical instruments like scalpels are wonderful substitutes for X-Acto knives. Scalpel handles come in many styles. I have all of these in dozens, they are all made in Sialkot Pakistan.

Among Scalpel blades, they come in two sizes (handles to fit the blades are two sizes as well- large and small) and each of these have numbers assigned. In my use, Nos. 23 and 11 have been the most useful (nos. are imprinted on each blade and these I believe are larger size, please check), the former No. 23 for general whittling and carving. Any medical surgery supply house in India will have these. Chinese blades are sharp enough, but in India test first. In the picture below see the two sizes of handles.

What you've known is Sanghi propaganda and that has been pretty effective.

There are way too many low level jobs in Bangladesh making clothes/shoes/toys for export, people don't need to go to India, and certainly not West Bengal or any of the other shitty BIMARU states in India where per capita GDP Nominal is one-half (or less) than Bangladesh.

Why would any Bangladeshi go to India ?? In fact it is many hundreds of thousands of poor Indians who are illegally working in Bangladesh in hundreds of factories, whom we don't deport because of humanitarian reasons. It is a Mexico-USA situation unlike what your propaganda says, with BIMARU India being Mexico economically. You haven't been to Bangladesh, take a trip there sometime.

Don't compare all of India to Gurugram, Bengaluru or Pune. There ARE poor people in India.

Bro just trust me on this.. Dilli me bhi there are these enclaves, used to be..

Bengal me to there a flood, and increasingly in Assam and other NE states.. there no "Sanghi spin" here, facts are facts.

Just like Indian illegals in US who been deported.

The illegal BANGLADESHI PROBLEM IS REAL AS FVCK !

----------------

and none of that is an indictment of/on all BD folk, I'm sure there's very nice people there too, just like everywhere else.

but our problem with your dalits is real, why live in denial ?

You can't order them from Amazon India? Or flipkart? You need a lot of tips, ask Lull (or me). combined 50/60 year experience.

Like I said, they've just become available here at decent prices

just a couple months ago they were exorbitantly priced, prohibitively so.. 20 $ ki cheez 100 $ ki they were selling.

but it seems the market has picked up here and prices are now at a 'buyer's market' level.. finally !

I have over two dozen airbrushes, some over $350 in price point.

For a newbie like you - choose the Chinese 180T airbrush made by a brand called Fengda. It is a copy of the Japanese IWATA CM Micron and should cost around 20 Quid (pictures below). Great results for not a lot of money. Airbrushes are finicky as they need proper cleaning before and after each painting session. Also paint needs to be diluted properly to run through the airbrush. You need a compressor to have air pressure for the airbrush. Some workshops in India make these from old refrigerator compressors. Picture below.

yes, compressors walas are next level.. im thinking just manual spray walas for now.

no point buying a Les Paul US custom if you're just a guitar beginner, right ?

or a 2500cc cruiser for a rider noob.

basic, better than the in box crap.
