  1. hi there thanks for your reply. as for prep yes the parts have all been washed and are all primed with Tamiya spray primer.
  2. hi all just need to pick some brains from here. I have just brought a few 'tamiya' paints for my new kit. when painting them on they seem to go on very thin and once dry going to put a 2nd coat on pulls the first coat off, am I right in thinking that they are not meant for brush application and are just meant for air brush use ???. I don't have the use of an airbrush and don't build enough to credit getting one so I just use a brush to do the detail painting and auto spray paints for the bodies and big bits. I have use revell paints a lot in the past and not had the same issue as I have with the Tamiya paints. that's what has lead me to think they are mainly airbrush use not brush.. and help on this would be much appreciated. thanks stu
  3. hi all just a quick post to ask some peoples expert advice. I'm getting the 'revel samba bus kit 07399'. what I wanted to know is how easy is it to lower the suspension ??? and whats the best way to detail up the engine bay ???. also how is the best way to make a roof rack to fit it ??? could anyone include some pictures of the kits the have done or started for me to see what people are doing to them. please someone help me lmao.. thanks looking forward to the wisdom

  14. thanks guys... i thought it was the temp outside but i went over to my work and tryed to paint it in my spray bay and the same thing happened still... so i am kinda stumped as to why its doing it... i did have the same problem with my merc kit but that happened all over... this is just on the doors, hood and boot... but i will slowly carry on until i get it sorted lol
