Afternoon all  :-)

I have a Mobile Marine Models Grp hull which i am getting near to painting and would like a bit of advise regarding what sort of prep and paint to use as i normaly scratch built from wood.

I Normally use a cellulose paint for my models but im not sure if its ok to use on this sort of hull.

It will be fine. Rub it down well with wet and dry so the paint has a good tooth.
