Greg,

 Now that I see this thread I feel I need to throw my 2 cents in too.   I've been using Tamiya's spray can primer on all my planes over the last year and I love the stuff,  I usually put on a light coat that just covers all the color inconsistencies and then proceed with the preshadowing then main colors.  works for me.  Now if I can just get my mottling down on my Fw190's I'd be happy.

And I do agree with some of the earlier posts about the panel lines being over accentuated, normal planes would never look that dark, I guess it's all in what you like.  I like some of it but not to heavy.

You ain't the only one brother, I didn't even know half of this stuff before.

 Thanks for the original question.

My pleasure, Steve. Makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only one on the planet who didn't know all this stuff about rattle cans. Toast
