    The TS spray paints are lacquer based, which should be hard as a rock and especially with the TS Gloss over it (twice). Wasn't the pressure of the q-tip, I was verrrry lightly swabbing. I agree with the above statement that the base coat didn't adhere to the model properly, probably because of lack of proper washing. I have never primed Bandai SW kits, just never saw the need, not to mention the parts are molded in the color that they are supposed to be, so adding paint on them is super easy without having to worry about shade changes over primer. Not to mention Tamiya Fine Surface Primer is like fricking gold press latinum $$$.. I have used Flory's on most of the model, I was just trying to touch up the finer panel lines with the Tamiya stuff. Will post some pics later tonight. EDIT -- It must be said, I've done this method before on my Republic Star Destroyer and it worked fine, but I DID wash AND PRIME that kit....hmmmm

    Soooo here's a head scratcher for you guys... @electric indigo I'm looking at you buddy, cause you're paint schemes are SO pretty, Bandai B Wing - Decanted and airbrushed Tamiya TS Racing White for the main white color..ok. Fine. Paint dried and cured for a week at least whilst I worked. Gloss spray can coated two good coats of Tamiya TS Gloss coat onto model. Dried for a good day or two. Ok. Fine. Went to get the EFFING Tamiya panel line wash knowing FULL WELL from previous experience to stay AWAY from any moving parts or joints. Ok. Fine. Went to do panel lines on wing. Ok. Fine. Let Panel LIne wash dry. Ok. Fine. Qtip with just a hint of enamel thinner on the end to clean up panel line wash aaaand.....my white paint UNDER the gloss coat starts coming off. WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK? The ONLY thing I can think of that happened this time was that I neglected to wash the parts with Dawn before I laid down the base white coat, and somehow the mold release stuff reacted badly with the paint and then the clear coat didn't seal it?????...(Never had a problem with Bandai kits having icky mold release on them to the touch)....That seems like a stretch to me, but that's all I got.. Other than throwing Tamiya Panel Line wash in the garbage and just calling it quits with that stuff as it DOESNT PLAY WELL AT ALL WITH BANDAI PLASTICS.

    Damn, probably my favorite TV show growing up . As I type this, I'm looking at my Aoshima 1:48 Airwolf that sits right beside me on my computer desk at home. RIP Stringfellow Hawk. Might have to pull out my season 1 DVD's this week and give it a re-watch.

    The SOC Lion Voltron is one of my favorite pieces in my entire collection. Everything about it just screams quality, even the packaging. Arcadia/Bandai DX/and MP Takara MP Transformers stuff is great, but this thing is a cut above everything else IMHO. I will JUMP on a Vehicle Voltron when it happens.

    I pre-ordered through BBTS. I think he looks great. Will be awesome with HMR's
  12. derex3592
    Yup! I'd have to bite on that.
  13. derex3592
    That looks like something that should have been in an Airwolf episode as the bad guy back in the day!!!
  14. derex3592
    It's worth every penny of $300 IMHO.

    Funny you should mention that @Chronocidal. I tried a test fit of the parts at the back of the cockpit pod last night and yeh, they don't go together well at all! As you said, very uncharacteristic for Bandai SW kits. Thanks for the heads up on the front engine block as well!

    Little masking, little painting, little buffing, little assembly...onwards and upwards
