How to get paint to stick to brass parts
WheelsUp replied to WheelsUp's topic in Painting & Finishing
Thank you Bob, I will check it out. -
Does anyone have a good method for getting paint to stick to brass aftermarket pieces? I referring to F4 canopy aftermarket 1:32 scale pieces. I have tried cleaning with solvent then applying primer, but no matter how hard I try it always chips off in handling or any slight bending on installation. I’m using solvent based acrylics and some lacquer. Thanks in advance, John

Jake, Thanks for the update. I was able to get a set from a source in Greece. They are ProCal decals and had what I was missing. Thank you again. John

Absolutely, I sent you a request for an innovice for a second set, hopefully it got to you. Happy Holidays Artur! John

I just received my LAU-7 Missile Rails from Artur, they are absolutely beautiful. Resins are clean and the detail is extremely spot on. I don’t have a method for posting photos without paying an expensive monthly fee, but take my word for it, they are beautiful. I have done a lot of research on these rails and they match up exactly with every reference material I have been able to get my hands on. Great work Artur!
-
Well, That didn’t take long, I couldn’t find them anywhere on-line. Not too surprising I guess. Thank you again, I think I’m too late in the F-4 game to benefit from all these older now discontinued products. John
-
All thumbs, Wow, that’s exactly what I need, I’ll have to see if I can find them on-line. Thank you very much! John
-
Excellent, thank you very much. It’s difficult to tell which set includes decals for the pylons, I will send them an email to verify. Thank you again! John
-
I found their email and sent them a message. We’ll see how it goes!

All of the Sprue Brothers decal sets include the AOA 32-031 panel set which is what I already have. I’m still looking for the Procal set but it looks like they’re only on Facebook which I don’t use. I’m hoping to find a web site for them otherwise I will see if I can contact them via email if I can find an email address for them. Thank you both, John
-
Does anyone know of a source for 1:32 USAF F-4C Vietnam era camouflage panel decals? I have the AOA 32-031 set but the decals for things like the wing pylons are yellow instead of black, this appears to be in keeping with the non-camouflage variants for Navy and Marine aircraft. Thanks, John

Artur, No problem at all, I was just confused as to who this other person was. Links can be tricky if you copy and paste, different apps include stuff that will make them ineffectual. I’m glad to see you are a part of this forum, there are so many knowledgeable folks here it makes modeling so much easier with the wealth of knowledge here. Thank you again, and there’s no need to apologize, I’m looking forward to receiving the LAU-7 set. I have done a lot of research on this missile rail and yours look to have all the correct geometry. Best regards, John
-
Turecki, I apologize but are you associated with Bandit Resin or are you just cleaning up the links? I’m only asking because I’ve been communicating with Artur in the UK. Thank you, John

Bill, You need to copy just the url beginning with https and ending with jpg then it should work.the [img] pieces should not be included. I have been in contact with Artur who owns Bandit Resin. He’s located in the UK and he’s selling the LAU-7 rails for 7£, and 9.35£ shipping, just FYI. good luck, John

These rails look pretty good, is there a web site where you can order them?
