Hello. I'm into building 1/72 stuff, and one of the greatest challenges so far is painting the soldiers. I've had pretty good success, but while some are molded in light colors more easily painted, others like Revell Germany (at least the set of US infantry I bought) are molded in very dark green. Can anyone suggest a good primer for these little guys? I've noticed also they are typically molded from a much softer plastic than ordinary styrene, so adhesion to the figure is important. I always wash them first before painting anyway. I appreciate any suggestions. Another thing. There is a marked difference in the interpretation of scales between brands. I placed a Revell-Germany soldier next to one by Heller, and the RG was at least 1 or 2mm taller. Last, thanks to the person who recommended using ww2 air force crewmen for my army engineers. It worked out perfectly, and with a little inginuity I got exactly what I was working for.
