1) Do resin kits need to be primed? If so, does normal primer (mr. Surfacer, tamiya primer etc.) will do?

2) Are there any primer which we can get from the local hardware shops and useful for scalemodelling?

Thanks in advance.

there's anchor brand selling at local hardware shop......PS no 5......Prime Surfacer Grey if i'm not mistaken

hope this helps you bro

Hi Farizforce,

Let me try and answer as best as I can with my limited knowledge.

1) It is best to prime the resin kits but before doing that, it needs a soap bath to remove all releasing agent that is usually present on resin kits. There are Resin Primer sold but I think a normal primer is sufficient enough.

2) The same answer with Azlandiver... Anchor paints do produce primers but I'm having a hard time getting my hands on it so I usually use Gunze Primers.

Hope this helps. :lol:

Recommended to prime your kit. Besides providing better paint adhesion, the littlest of flaws which may otherwise pass undetected will show up after priming.

I've used Mr.Surfacer on 1/35 resin figures before and didn't have any problems.

Thanks bro. I tried to find anchor prime, but couldn't find it in any hardware shop. You know where i can find them? Anyway, i've stocked up my Mr Surfacer, gonna use that for now. :)
