Re: A good white primer for zero paints

I now typically use Mr. Surfacer primer on my builds. Never had a problem of any kind with it even under Zero paints. It's what I used on my current DBR1 build. I spray it directly from the can, it goes on smooth and wet sands well.

Looks very nice !

Well done. I'm just getting to the point of putting the body on the chassis of mine. It seems to be going together ok did you find any difficulties with the final assembly?

Re: ZP resin & metal etching prime alternative

I have ordered Zero Paints from Paul Meadows at paintsmodelsandmore.com he is in Canada which works pretty well for the US. He doesn't have a decent website yet but you can get a hold of him at pmminfo@shaw.ca

Re: MENG BMW HP4 RACE 1/9

Beautifully built kit! I have this one in the stash so its nice to see one so well built. I love the 1/9 scale bike kits, they are big enough scale that my old eyes can see. I'd be interested to see where this chain can be gotten as well.
