TIPS FOR MODEL PREPARATION
Area 71 parts are printed in ultra-high resolution, and finished with a carbon composite compound treatment.
3D printed nylon parts are generally porous, very rough and in order to be painted they need to be "sealed" and very likely some details may get lost during this process. During the manufacturing process, a post processing is performed at the factory to deliver parts already partially "sealed" and almost ready to paint. There is no need to wash the parts to remove mold grease or stains left from molding process, no solvents to be used, no need to trim windows openings and wheel arches like on resin parts and bodies, no mould lines to remove etc., plus the material is strong so no danger to damage the parts if "heavily" sanded by mistake.
To prepare the parts for painting spray a light coat of Tamiya Grey Primer (or any other primer of your choice) let it dry and cure for 24hrs, then sand the part with a 400 grit sand paper to remove the light surface roughness. After this step, spray another light coat of primer and wet sand with 1000 grit, and part is ready to be painted just like any other plastic or resin body.
Note from Armchair Racer: we have received feedback that the finish on the body and parts are rough and more filling and sanding work is required to get the finish to a suitable state for painting.
We recommend this kit for experienced modellers.
Export orders will have the Aus GST deducted.
