Did you use a primer and if so which type? I recently bought the British Army set but I've had problems with them adhering to plastic and my usual brand of primer. The paint forms little puddles almost like painting a watercolour paint onto plastic.

I used Alclad primer on this build, but I have used the Ammo primer as well on other builds with Ammo paint. The key to applying Ammo paint is very thin coats at low pressure.

Cheers I'll give it a go. I can get hold of Tamiya primer so might try that. I did notice they were quite thin. Are they similar in consistency to valejo air acrylics?

Yes the consistency is very much like Vallejo Air, just remember to shake it VERY well.

Ok, I'll give them another go next time I get out the airbrush. Thanks
