Ravens Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Hi Invidia, good job fitting the etch. Did you wash the brass parts before painting? Many modellers recommend giving them a gentle bath in some soapy water first before use; going by my own experience I reckon they probably have the right of it!

Jockster Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Nice model, always wash brass, plastic, resin etc., they are all covered with something which will affect your paint. I use an acid etch primer on my brass and it still chips when bent. Just get into the habit of keeping a touch up brush handy! :-) :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
