CDW Posted April 30, 2020 Share #488 Posted April 30, 2020 Just caught up with your Mossie build thread OC. So sorry to learn about your paint troubles. I don't want to muddy the water here, but I have to say, I use lacquer based primer on almost every model I build. As a rule of thumb, if you can smell the paint after the application of it, it's still gassing out. When you can't smell it, it's gassed out. Simple as that. I never have an issue with any other paint over a lacquer primer, provided it's gassed out. My favorite primer is either Tamiya (in the bottle) or Mr Surfacer (in the bottle) reduced with Mr Hobby 400 Leveling Thinner. Tamiya spray primer is good, too. Just make sure it's gassed out (smell it). Tamiya bottled paints are notoriously bad for brushing. They need a retarder added when brushing. When I use their bottled clear, I always thin it considerably with Mr Hobby Leveling Thinner (40% paint to 60% thinner), sprayed on with an airbrush. It just does not give good results brushed from the bottle. I know it's too late now, but just for future reference.

After you have applied the paint and it's had time to dry (to the touch), it's gassed out when you can no longer detect the smell of the paint. If you smell it and it smells like paint, it's still gassing out.

Egilman Posted April 30, 2020 Share #492 Posted April 30, 2020 I think some people have missed my point, you do not put Acrylics over FRESH lacquer.... you HAVE to wait till the lacquer is completely dry. And yes that means it has to pass the smell test.... just simple dry touching will not cut it...... Even though the surface will be touch dry and your fingers will not stick, it is still outgassing and that is what causes the problem.... Craig is telling you true..... Me, I don't have the problem with it cause I do not use acrylics, don't own them and never will... So I don't have to worry about it and sometimes I forget to fully explain....

popeye the sailor Posted April 30, 2020 Share #496 Posted April 30, 2020 when I decant paint, that's usually what I do. I leave the cap loose and stir it a few times to work the propellant out. the reasons to decant is two fold........to obtain the color you need in the event that it can only be found in rattle cans, and to use air to atomize the paint, rather than propellant. I think that it too can be a factor for bad outcomes. paint must be fully cured, before moving on to further steps mtaylor, Egilman, Old Collingwood and 1 other 4 Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.

Old Collingwood Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share #497 Posted April 30, 2020 Some more good work today, first thing was to fit the Two lens units under the wings - these just popped in with a bit of ca run around the edge, next was to fit the Two radiator flow control vents under the wings, these were then painted same as the underside. Then the biggy - adjust and fit the other main u/c unit, again this needed some sanding then a good measure of ca to get a good bond, the tricky part was locating the adjustment leg struts (I had to keep pushing them in place as they had some flex). Also here is a pic showing the first stage of the re - paint. So this is the current situation.

Old Collingwood Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share #510 Posted May 3, 2020 Hi all, thank you for all the likes and comments, so while waiting for the paint on the fuselage to harden, I decided to do a bit more detailing on the wings with shading and highlighting to give it a bit of realism.
