I've built several of these beautiful models, and what I've done is to clean them in soap and water first, then I soak in alcohol to get all oils off completely. Let them air dry completely, generally 24 to 36 hours. Don't handle at all after cleaning. Pick them up with a coat hanger, bent so it can be hung from something and both side sprayed with ease. I've primed then sprayed with testers flat black, and I've also left off the primer and sprayed flat black. I've never noticed a differance. Once sprayed, let them dry for a week or until solvent smell is gone. You can now weather however you want. Good luck......Let me how they turn out.[:)][:)]
