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.

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.

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

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 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.
