RE: Plastic Models and Acrylics.

Wash with detergent to remove mold release agents

Rinse thoroughly and dry.

Prime with Automotive undercoat in a can, color depending
on final color scheme of model for b5 I'm use grey. 

Use two thin coats of primer rather than 1 thick one, but
Automotive primer is heavily thinned so this is less of
a problem.

If you need to paint before assembling, remove paint 
where you apply the glue or it won't stick.

Paint with acrylics as normal with  a good quality brush. 
Use a good quality paint. Certain colors are problematic 
(ie. yellow). Mix the paint well, and for large areas
thin slightly with water. 

One thing about the Revell B5 is a lot of the detail 
is decals. These will present their own problems
