I'm getting ready to start painting my Fine Molds Snowspeeder which will be light grey, and was wondering what is the best colour to prime with?
I was hoping to attempt some preshading for the first time (I want to get some good panel lines), am I correct in asuming I should use a light primer followed by a dark preshade, followed by the main colour of the vehicle?
Thanks in advance.

I would prime the kit only:
-if I was going to paint it with acrylics
-I'd done a lot of putty work, or added resin parts, etc.
If you built it box stock and are going to paint it with enamels, I'd preshade over the bare plastic and then paint it.
If you still want to prime it I'd suggest something in a medium gray, white primers can be hard to cover with light gray since the colors are similar, hard to see where you've been.
