Can’t see any harm. I don’t think I’ve ever been frowned on in britmodeller circles. Arguably I inadvertently did this on my Caproni last year Edited February 6, 2021 by Marklo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an accumulation of incompatible rattle cans that I ended up having to scrape off and sand all the way back. Gray ok Black still ok Silver Just sat in top of the black then started to orange peel completely sanded back Primed Silver again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to use Halfords primers (and their satin black) and Tamiya Fine Primer Grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I like Montana black and specifically Humbrol aluminium, where I can come to grief is with miscellaneous Dealz/Aldi/Lidl rattlecans The Bristol was done with. Montana black rattle can. That said the Caproni was done with a Lidl rattle can but I was just much more careful the second time.

I'll likely do my XB70 in Halfords White and Appliance White before adding bits with an airbrush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I must admit now that ( I think) I’ve gotten the hang of airbrushing I only recourse to rattlecans for silver ( mostly because I still don’t trust acrylic silver) and clear varnish( mostly because it’s handy) so my stock of rattlecans tends to get used for diy and craft projects instead of models. Humbrol aluminium is the only rattle can I can see myself using in the long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
