I use this one.

What exactly are you trying to mask? I'm assuming you are trying to mask out the solar panel areas on the wings. Why not just use plain old cheap blue painters tape from the hardware store? I have never heard of the 'vaseline and elmers glue technique' and I would think that going that route would b...

I'm gonna second that on the Plasticote, Mr B. It's exactly like Floquil Primer but CHEAPER by the spray can. It can be thinned with lacquer thinner for certain airbrushing applications and it's the only primer that I'll use. BTW use a spray booth to ventilate the fumes. Or even a window box fan on ...

How about using a straw? They are pretty cheap and free if you visit McDonalds or whomever. You could cut a straw to a shorter workable length, mark a line on the bottom tip guesstimating how much paint you might want and dip it into the paint at that mark. Just close off the top opening with your f...

Terry's advice is right on the money. Your going to have to trash that paint job to smooth out the under surface. I haven't worked with a vinyl kit in a while but a simple wet sand with some of that 3M wet/dry/ sand paper always does the trick. Big modeling rule: Always prepare the surface before pr...

Re: I gesso
.....Thoughts? Laughter? My immediate series of thoughts were: HUH? WHAT? WHY? and 'Is this guy a ........?' But seriously, it looks like you got it to work, but I don't think that stuff is permanent on styrene. You are right that some people use gesso for priming canvasses for oil painting. I use ...
