Canute Posted May 5, 2020 Share #31 Posted May 5, 2020 I read it on, I think. Cybermodeler? May have been on a MRR site, too. Don't know who the primary maker is. I suspect Badger/Stynylrez popeye the sailor, CDW, Old Collingwood and 1 other 4 Quote Ken Started: MS Bounty Longboat, On Hold: Heinkel USS Choctaw paper Down the road: Shipyard HMC Alert 1/96 paper, Mamoli Constitution Cross, MS USN Picket Boat #1 Scratchbuild: Echo Cross Section Member Nautical Research Guild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cog Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share #32 Posted May 6, 2020 On 5/3/2020 at 7:05 PM, Canute said: Reds and yellows are very translucent, so a light color underneath is a must. I have a modeling friend who has used a Badger yellow primer under the reds he paints freight cars. It's Stynylrez or you may find it in Europe under the AMMO by MiG label. Vallejo 73.613 or 73.604 (bottles) but I wouldn't recommend to spray it. Until now, I am not impressed by Vallejo airbrush primers, their ratle cans are as good as Tamiya oddly enough It is indeed MIG and Badger. MIG is 20% cheaper here in the Netherlands. € 6 vs € 8, bottle size is equal, 60ml. A bloke at Britmodeller tested it on a kit which he first primed with Badger, and after that with MIG, it seemed to blend in perfectly ... popeye the sailor, mtaylor, Edwardkenway and 2 others 5 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures."

Canute Posted May 6, 2020 Share #33 Posted May 6, 2020 Makes sense cost-wise, since MIG is in Spain.

cog Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share #34 Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) White respray, looks good enough, pitty I can't use the chipping fluid's capacity anymore. Back to manually inflicting damage. Few more bottles on order. Forgot to order three for this model. Added the missing colours for the next at the same time, saves postal charges. Won't be long before I'll start that one.. Planning a scratch build too. I found an interesting 109 the BF 109Z.
