Problems priming Blitzkrieg Vehicles
«

Hi!
I encountered a problem, I never had bevor. I bought a Armoured Car and a Mathilda Tank form the Blitzkrieg Range.
https://www.perry-miniatures.com/product_info.php?cPath=23_74_78&products_id=2915&osCsid=40skhisu9r3au7f4fite9vvfm6
As usually I let soak them a few days in water with dish cleaner and scrub them bevor priming them with GW or Army Painter.
First I used the Desert Yellow Primer from Army painter. After a few days I picked it up to start painting, I detected that the primer was flaking of. After peeling of the primer, soaking in water again and trying to prime it with Black Primer from Army Painter, I got the same result.
Any advice how to clean the resin?
Cheers
Wellington

I’ve never had that problem with Blitzkrieg. I airbrush Vallejo Primers.

I use scouring cream applied with an old toothbrush, not built any Blitzkrieg kits so do not know what the resin is like.
I vaguely remember Antenocitis suggesting using talcum powder.
Is it a surface issue or is it coming out of the resin (I have a resin container that bleeds through paint, varnish and superglue...).

its a pure surface issue, to smooth for the primer. But it works on the turrets!
I love the models, they are great!
Some friends made some suggestions, I have to try!

I had this on one or two of my Blitzkrieg AFVs to start with. I have now taken to washing all resin models in detergent water, and then, once dry, priming with handpainted Humbrol enamel. It sticks to the resin a LOT better than spray on primers.

Warm water and a long soak in a decent washing up liquid works for me. I undercoat spray with Battlefront or Army Painter cans and don't normally have any issues, although the Battlefront one can sometimes flake but I find a second coat does the trick.

For resin kits I recommend Tamiya Fine Surface Primer. Works great and you don't lose any detail.

Finally it worked! And I love the models! I have to buy some more.
I used a special type of primer called "Haftgrundierung" in German, special for very smoth surfaces and applied it with an brush. Then I used Armypinter Desert Yellow. And it worked!
