Good luck?
AAAaaarrgghh.....don't you mean BAD luck ?
After carefully sanding the cockpit walls smooth, I used the same primer I've always used. I do not use it on every model, but at least it never gave me any problems.
I always use this brand because it never lets me down. Academy must have used a special kind of plastic which is much more sensitive to primer. On other kits it sets beautifully.
Until now. I sprayed the inside and let it dry. When I came back to pick them up, I was shocked to see this damage.... Okay....now what...?
Well....I decided to keep it as it is. A bit more sanding and a thick layer of wood color paint should hide most of the damage. Hopefully the cockpit assembly will hide some of it, too.
As long as this is the only damage, I'll be fine. The rest of the model must be painted perfectly.
Sigh.....first big setback....
Let's hope it stays that way.
