Strange shade of green etch primer.

[@FoxThreeScaleModels]

Its definely not your normal green that you would expect. But I trust Richard's at Kotare Models research. Its not very often he is wrong.

[@redwa11er]

What do you use to clean the glue off the paint brush?

[@FoxThreeScaleModels]

I have a separate brush that I use for glue. It's just a cheap humbrol brush from the local store. I don't use anything to clean it, I just let the Extra Thin Clement evaporate of it.
