Hi all

Legend has just released a new M1 Abrams Stowage set that I wish to purchase. I've never worked with resin before hence some questions.

Would I need to glue the accessories onto the kit and then spray the kit and resin accessories the base colour(s) and then brush paint the stowage?

Or spray the kit, paint the stowage and then attach?

I assume resin would have to be attached with CA glue?

Thx

It is a matter of preference. I always paint my stowage separately then attach it to the vehicle after the initial painting. Others attach, then paint the stowage on the vehicle. Try both and see which you like.

Yes, resin has to be attached with either superglue or epoxy. Regular model glues will not adhere to it.

As Gino says, both are possible, and both are a matter of preference and skill.
If you glue the resin parts on after painting, you need to remove a small piece of the paint, otherwise the piece can come off. Also if you glue after painting, you may end up with glue stains which need to be touched up again.
Depending on the position of the stowage, it may be very difficult to get at it if you paint it with the rest of the model. You need a very steady hand at any rate.

Try both options, and find what works best for you.

Thanks for the info Gino
