Old Collingwood Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share #12 Posted January 15, 2021 I'm going to try a departure away from the norm with this one, bare with me on this - Im going to clean/prime and paint the sprues with Tamiya rattle cans before assembling anything, I also have the same main colour in Acrylic touch up tin for the small areas while assembling. This will help me as my outdoor spraying is not ideal with the assembled thingy due to not being able to hold the thing. Well thats the plan. OC.

Jack12477 Posted January 15, 2021 Share #13 Posted January 15, 2021 I've done that for priming but not final color. Can you build a jig like the one JAVLIN uses for decalling his plane, like one I copied from him ? You could use it to support the tank while spraying.

It's not the obscene priced bottle Jack 🤪 but the one for about £35 I would be loathe to open one costing over £400😬 And to correct myself, it's 10yr not 12, I've had it for over 2 years though, does that count?😁 I got it from the distillery on Skye when I had a holiday there.
