Rubicon plastic is bullet proof though!

It arrived on 27th April - nice kit but the plastic ignores the revell contacta!
Title: Re: M32Sherman Armoured Recovery Vehicle
Post by: Ballardian on May 04, 2017, 04:07:44 PM: Yes, whatever plastic Rubicon use is a bit temperamental about glue - I also use Contacta & found very lightly keying the surfaces to be mated with some fine wet & dry/glass paper helped - well nothings fallen apart yet at any rate.

Post by: Rich H on May 04, 2017, 04:27:00 PM: Yes it sort of sticks but the plastic is very resistant! Apparently tamiya solvent works better on them? No idea but it might be worth a go.

Post by: carlos marighela on May 04, 2017, 07:24:07 PM: IIRC I used Humbrol on the last Rubicon kit I made but then I have also used the Italeri brush on and Revell and had no issues with adherence. Hope they haven't changed the plastic.

Post by: Ultravanillasmurf on May 04, 2017, 08:50:07 PM: I had issues with the Katyusha kit but not with the others.

I use Humbrol liquid poly.
