New project on tap


Recommended Posts

Hello group hope all are well. I am going to be redoing a project I started a couple of years back. I have an AMT KW K123 I started. Originally painted her with a yellow cab, and a Brown frame and associated parts. Now I don't have a ton of successes I can claim but on this one I did. I successfully was able to attach the suspension and the axles out of alignment. Wow. So I have decided to start the project over with a new rear suspension system and repainting the cab and frame. The frame is easy. I will repaint it in semi gloss Black, and aluminum tanks. The cab color is the difficult choice. I am looking at Blue, Green, or Red, and planning on doing it in a Tamiya lacquer. If anyone has an opinion I would appreciate it. Thank you.

Hi guys. Sorry if the pictures show it up as something different. It's Testors One Coat Gloss Bronze as seen below.

So did you put down a primer coat first?   Or just shoot this stuff on bare plastic ?   Just reading the can label it says it's a paint and primer all-in-one.   Haven't used that before so I'm curious!

Primer then shot the lacquer. I know you don’t have to prime but I generally do.
