To prime or not to prime…that is the question FineScale Modeler senior editor Aaron Skinner addresses in this episode of Airbrushing with Aaron. It really is a tale of two tanks, as Aaron demonstrates techniques for applying primer to a model railroad structure and a fine scale model.

  1. In industry they use the 3 “P” system; prime, putty & paint. It works well with models, too!

  2. You certainlly could have seen the seams before you primed. I did! Why didn’t you take care of them before you painted? It would have saved a lot of work.

  3. Always an interesting video, Aaron, but I am wondering why you seem to airbrush without the cap on the bowl?

  4. I am really enjoying this series. Aaron is pointing out facts that I guess I was aware of but chose to ignore in the past. I’ll bet he has other suggestions to offer when it comes to building models. I anticipate that we will be seeing a lot more from FSM.
    Thanks,

  5. Thanks Aaron for these great professional techniques.
    Great series! Next, I need to subscribe to FSM . . .
