You sure it just wasn't the paint that gatherd?

What paint did you use? I had a problem with Tamiya on a AMT/Ertl kit awhile back. Luckily it didnt wrinkle the plastic too deeply, so I was able to scrape and sand a little and save the body. It does seem like most automotive paints are too hot for styrene kit plastic, some sort of sealer is usually a good idea. Unless the sealer wrinkles the plastic!  |

I have never had that happen but I have had terrible results when painting a base color then usuing a different brand clear.

That explains it. That tough up paint was most likely automotive lacquer and that stuff will EAT plastic if you don't barrier it with some good primer. Automotive touch ups can be used but you must prime the parts/model first. Otherwise, melt-city.

that really does stink!!1
As a rule thumb, i primer all my models before i paint, this way i know for sure i wont have any problems like that.
i use dupli-color primer,works great1!

I use Plasti-Kote T-235 grey the most. Duplicolor primer/sealer works great as well.What I really like about the Plasti-Kote is that out of all the automotive primers I've used, it seems to be the best at not "shadowing" mold lines , etc. It seems very plastic friendly. I used Duplicolor exclusively until a couple of my friends from HH convinced me to try the Plasti-Kote. I'm a total convert now. I use nothing else.
