Liverbird81 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 My first ever time scratch building. I've tried my best at filling & sanding all the decals and filler so my next move is to spray primer. Is any grey plastic primer any good for red bull livery or should I maybe go for a white plastic primer. Have a good look at the photos guys and don't be afraid to provide some constructive comments as I've said its my first ever scratch build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricanemk1c Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Nice work! I'd say grey primer for the body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liverbird81 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Thanks ok I wasn't sure on primer as I'd read that the primer can affect the colour of paint. Il go for grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liverbird81 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 My next move is cutting a cab end of and replacing it with a walk through door for middle coach. To complete the 3 coach set. I want to scratch build & complete from the 150/1's then il maybe buy a worsley works brass kit and compare the two sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirley Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Great to see you have taken the plunge. Once you have the primer on you will see any bits you missed on the sanding process. Be prepared to fill and sand and fill and sand to get a good finish. Good luck on the project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverbird81 Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 Shall do,it was a somewhat daunting thought for well over a year so I'm hoping it turns out the way I hope as I'm wanting to give the 80's a go next I like the thought of the yellow sandite Already the hornby donors purchased of eBay. Then it's the gatwicks with a little help on the paint from a very kind modeller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
