Could it be there’s too much mould release agent still on the parts? It might be worth washing the sprues with some washing-up liquid before building to see if that solves the problem (no point doing that for a kit that’s been painted and then stripped, of course).Now then, the last two problems I had with paint lifting were both Airfix kits. And now this ? We've both been building for a while, so it's not like were new to this game. I'm certainly not doing anything different.
I don’t think it’s anything to do with the black undercoat. If there’s something on the plastic that prevents the paints sticking as well as they could (should?), then the paint’s much more likely to lift with masking tape no matter what paint you use.But ive never tried what you guys do an that's painting it black afore you put on the top coat an I cannot understand why it should lift
