I wouldn't bother with 'primer' for static models. Acrylics adhere pretty well to resins, such as used in 3D printing, particularly when applied with an airbrush.

Worked out pretty well with the tamiya primer, wish I could post pics because the detail is pretty good on the oerlikons. But jpg is too big in size.

I'm going to prime them with tamiya spray can primer, which is a lacquer.

Hello! Yes, that's exactly it—the parts go into a large bowl of soapy water first, followed by a rinse (under a veeeeeery gentle stream of water).
Mind you, with primer, I must admit I don't systematically clean the parts every time.

This is great. Now how do you clean the delicate 3d resin parts before primer and paint? I just bought hs models oerlikons in 350th. Put them in bowl of soapy water? Then clear water? I'm afraid of cleaning with a brush and breaking parts off.
