Tank commander help
Posted: Thu Aug 05, 2021 9:13 pm
I got this tank commander with a older model Heng long tank.
I really like the detail and pose of this commander compared to the newer Heng Long ones so he's getting promoted to commanding the King Tiger!
The issue is that he's very shiny and hard (but also flexible) plastic. Very similar to old plastic toy soldiers my dad had when he was little.
Also he's got some really badly applied flesh paint which is also shiny and thick looking.
I tried removing it with Carson paint killer but it didn't even touch it.
Can i go straight in and start putting a white acrylic base coat on or should I use some sort of primer? Also how do I deal with the current flesh paint?
Thanks
