12-volt Battery

This is our scale 12-volt battery and it’s perfect for any scale vehicle project. It will be right at home in your scale crawler or monster truck. The battery terminal clamps have a hole in them so that you can add wire to make it look more realistic. We recommend using a small dab of CA glue to attach the wire to the battery terminal.  Painting Tips

You can leave the part as it comes out of the package and mount them up but adding some paint will smooth out the part and add more detail. Here are some painting tips to help bring your Hetmanski Hobbies part to life.

Use Primer 
We recommend starting with three even coats of Testors Model Master White Primer which is part number 2948.  Testors paints spray thick and therefore will help fill in the rough surface of the part. Wait 15min after each coat before spraying another.



Applying Color 
When applying your color of choice you’ll want to apply it the same way that you applied your primer. Spray even coats and three of them should get you full coverage. Wait 15min between coats. Again we recommend using Testors enamel paints due to their thickness and ability to fill in the grooves of your 3D printed part.



Let It Dry 
The longer you let Testors paints dry the better off you’ll be. Handling the part too soon will result in a part with finger prints and other marks in it. We recommend letting the paint dry for a minimum of two days before handling.


Masking 
We recommend the use of Tamiya or Parma tape to do any masking. This tape conforms well to surfaces and provides a clean crisp edge. Various widths are available.
