Lochsa Riverthank you....the decals are cool....and hard to find now
.....my airbrush technique with the Stynylrez primer is not giving the results it should.....too pebbly....the primer goes on well and seems to have a decent finish but I've had more luck with the Mission Models brand and will likely go back....or try VALLEJO....

Villiers de VosI had mixed results with VALLEJO Acrylic-Polyurethane primer. It quickly turns to sludge in the cup. I personally consider using Tamiya NATO black.

Lochsa RiverIt appears the Stynylrez primer also serves as a bit of filler, like mr surfacer, for example.
This may be a good thing if it covers slight flaws but the surface is left a bit rough. I think I prefer a straight primer, like Mission.

Ben MTamiya primer in a rattle can ends up being more uniform than anything else I've tried. I find the Vallejo primer doesn't adhere to metal well which causes trouble with pe.

bughunterBen, have you ever tried the ALCLAD primers and microfillers? In my eyes the best, not only for metal paints. In opposite to the Acrylic-Polyurethane so called primers it "bites" into the plastic. Compared to Tamiya an airbrush gives much better control than a rattle can.
Available in black, gray and white.

Michael KohlI second Bughunter. Alclad primer is my primer of choice too. You get a really good bond with plastic and a decent one with metal (here I use Mr. Metal Primer first. Makes a big difference.) and it behaves very well when sanded, no chipping whatsoever, just very smooth transitions.

Ben MNo, I haven't tried alclad. I use vallejo gloss black acrylic polyurethane (despite its limitations) + vallejo metallics to do nmf. I have to say my NMFs aren't the best I've seen. But I like the lack of toxicity,

bughunterYes, I use a airbrush booth anyway. But the solvents are needed to bite into the plastic. So no risk during masking work later.
Ammo of Mig also seems to have recognised the quality, because they also offer the Alclad primers under their own label 😉

Martin OostromAcrylic or lacquer, you're still spraying solids. And you don't want to inhale them. The fumes are a different animal when curing

Album info
A good kit from Academy with a popular later model aftermarket set...these kind of free expressions were gone by the Korean War....this one is fun but is right at the line......
