Customer Reviews
One of my clubmates asked how I got such clean, narrow framework on the Airfix Beaufort canopies and I proudly told him about KitMasx! I also shared a tip: spray Dupli-Color CP199 clear adhesion-promoting primer as the first coat of paint, before the interior green-grey. Just spritz some into your airbrush paint cup, apply, and clean it out with lacquer thinner. Then, carefully following the instructions, apply the interior color in ten minutes (followed later by the exterior colors). This not only assures the paint sticks fast with no chipping or peeling, but also ensures a cleaner edge with no paint creep. The Tamiya tape masks stayed put even when masked over with Scotch Delicate Surface tape and blue tack. Another tip I discovered too late: you CAN glue the turret clear parts together and slip them over the guns later. This would be easier and allow a better seam cleanup. Extremely pleased with the results!
