Before painting: quick, clean prep

Primer and colour for aviation

  • Start with primer to unify materials.
  • Choose your acrylic paints or lacquers depending on your technique.
  • For a resistant finish, top with varnish (gloss for decals, matt/satin at the end).

Quick tips for your Italeri

  • Winning sequence: dry-fit → controlled adhesive → fine putty → gentle sanding → primer → colour → decals over gloss varnish → washes → final varnish.
  • Clean masking: use specific tape and apply thin coats to avoid steps.
  • Cockpit and landing gear details: alternate brush for micro-detail and airbrush for smooth transitions.

What do they include and who are they for?

Italeri kits cover everything from historic fighters to modern jets in popular scales (like 1/72 and 1/48). Ideal for anyone wanting a well-balanced build experience and a perfect canvas to practise panel lines, filters and light weathering. If it's your first project, start with a monochrome or two-tone scheme and add effects in small steps. Whenever you need it, browse all the paints and accessories.
