Gazzas Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Well... that's another Eduard kit that has fallen further down my 'must have' list. What's wrong with the original stuff? More and more I find Eduard my least favorite model company. Rick Griewski and Erwin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royboy Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I use 'Plastic Weld' for ABS plastic. If you have the right glue for the material what's the problem? After all people use Superglue as a normal method all the time now without worrying about it. Buy the model and enjoy... regardless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leitch Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Funny my Me108 is going together no problem with Tamiya Extra Thin. Why would Eduard suddenly change to ABS? Seems a bit far out to me. Andy Jan_G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Andy, I believe that is because the plastic parts for this release were not molded by Eduard, but instead by another company who provided them to Eduard. I can't recall the name of the company off the top of my head, though. Looks like I'll be getting a special bottle of glue for my future build.

I will test my Vallejo primer and color paints on a few parts. I will be disappointed if I am required to spray lacquer based paint to keep the paint on.

Out2gtcha Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 If so, might be worth spraying a layer of Tamiya fine white under the paint, then you could spray any paint you like. MikeMaben, LSP_K2, Jan_G and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm always using Tamiya fine white or MRP surfacers, no matter if it's plastic or resin kit. Never had any problem with paints adhesion jan Alain Gadbois, Rick Griewski, scvrobeson and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The adhesion that it creates allows most any paint to be used without any issues. Dries as smooth as a babies bottom!

kalashnikov-47 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I haven't built mine yet, but I did cut some pieces of sprue and glued them with Tamiya Extra Thin. An hour later and I cannot pull them apart. Martinnfb, Rick Griewski and Jan_G 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
