Thanks for the tutorial Dave. I've use your way a few times. My Air Force S2 and a couple of plastic army tanks. I was doing really well with the S2 until the final coat. I was a little heavy handed so the results, while not bad were not as as crisp as I would have liked but It turned out acceptable. The Army tanks had varying results. i did some body work with Testors Counter Putty on the bottoms to hide the seam where the two pieces joined. The Dupli-color sealer went on well, sprayed the top half with some success but when I sprayed the bottom half the paint looked fine as it went on but when it dried the paint had shrunk and cracked. I was painting outside so I don't know if the cracking was due to drying too quickly in the sun, incompatibility with the underlying contour putty or what the cause. It was the underside of the tanks which are going to be used for flatcar loads so iI'm not sweating the small stuff. I can't wait to see how this job turns out.
