RAF Laarbruch Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 yeah, ill try them then, as i am sure they set the model off more, also the intakes on the reveel arnt to bad but ar quite tacky if you know waht i mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falcon Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Anyone got any tips on how to get the acrylic to stick? Use primer on the model before painting. Works for me as I use a lot of acrylics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAF Laarbruch Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 cheer falcon, does it matter on what colour primer, as i am kinda new to the whole aclyix side of things.can i use a humbrol enamel jobbie, or acrylic matt black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcon Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 It all depends on the final scheme as to what primer you use. If it is a very light scheme, use a white primer. Darker schemes, use grey primer. Not tried using black as a primer, so not sure what the outcome will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
