Re: F-11D Blaster kits :CLOSED:
Paint prep is simple.
1. wash all parts to remove any mold release residue.
2. sand down the seam lines, so they are no longer visible.
3. fill in any holes that may be present.
4. lightly sand all parts, so the primer will have better adhesion.
5. prime all part, then paint. Be sure to give plenty of dry time between coats. I normally let parts dry overnight, before masking them off to d the next color.
6. Use super glue or 5 minute epoxy to assemble all parts.
Sometimes paint can take up to a week to fully cure. Just because it feels dry, doesn't mean it is ready for use. If you can make a mark with your fingernail, let it sit longer. Paint will cure faster in warmer places.
These are the paints that JJ uses for his finished ones.
I have not made instructions. But if you look at a picture, you can very easily see where each part goes.So...this is my first kit.Are there instructions somewhere that talk about preparation for paint and stuff, etc, etc. Thanks!

We are on it, just taking care of few things to ensure this run goes smoother than the first.
Hi Justin, any word on doing a second run? I really want one of each!

Nothing for that yet. Still a work in progress. It is a very small space to fit lots of components. lol

Still playing catch up from the previous run. And I may need to make a new set of molds before the next can start. A couple weeks probably.
