Greenshirt Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 50+ years of modeling, I don't clean sprues. Tried it once and didn't see the point...unless I wore gloves the entire build. What's the fun in that? I paint with acrylics. Prime with Tamiya rattle can. Expensive, but always works, never disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG X Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 This week I have been knocking together an Airfix 1/48 Hurricane MKI - I see now what everyone means about not bothering to clean the parts. Mine is now covered in fine sanding dust and probably a million greasy finger marks. The fuselage and wings are now together and it is ready for the main paint job - so I'm off to maplins for some IPA - to give it a soft wipe down before priming - wish me luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobby Paul Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Only warm water and washing up liquid... but i've never primed any models and paint doesn't seem to be an issue sticking or peeling off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
