This is my first wood/metal kit. I have absolutely no Idea how to go about priming it/ assembling/ finishng it.
Now for some questions:
1.What type of paint will work to prime the wood for this kit?
2.Will Acryllic paint work?
3. I heard something about etching the metal parts (they're white metal) with vinegar before painting/assembly, will this work?
4.What adhesive should I use to glue the metal to the wood?
5.Will Elmer's wood glue work to assemble the wood/wood portions of this kit?
6. Should I worry about warping?
7. The measurements on the kit are extrememly percise, should I worry? ( I have a good ruler)
8. It's a reefer (A.R.T. is you want to know) so how should I face the ice hatches, the instructions are confusing about this. Which way?
9. wil kadee metal trucks be fine for this car?
10. will I need to add etra metal weight to the car, as I will not have any provisions to add any more later?
11. I also have a bottle of floquil reefer gray...should I prime it with that? (brushed on)
12. the doors are just scribed onto the car sides, are there any white metal castings availble for reefer doors?
Thanks if you can answer these, whew!~ops:
