My only real gripe with this kit was that it ultilized white styrene. I found a few 17s today for a great price so I picked themup for the stash (endless marking possibilities and I have a problem =D). Upon opening the new kits I found Rev has changed to gray styrene! The only 17 I have built thus far was two years ago (when it was first released) in the white plastic. Does anyone know why Rev switched? Beisdes to please me that is LOL
Maybe they think most PT-17s are painted in white, and going to a white plastic will make it easier for painting.
The Tamiya Lancaster that arrived yesterday is molded in black, I gues because the majority of Lancs had black sides and undersides.
Because I ALWAYS prime my models, the color of the plastic doasn't mean much to me.
So many of the painting and masking lift-off issues you hear about here and in the magazine, are avoidable with a good primer coat, followed by a week cure.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

I'm with you. Since I use a gray primer, my models are always gray when I start painting.
BTW, since Revell doesn't show a white livery in the instructions, that can't be why they chose the plastic color they did.

I prime as well. For me its a matter of part-cleanup or modifying. The white styrene is too bright for me. I also wear sunglasses on cloudy days, lol
