Not sure what happened but when I sprayed the wing with Tamiya AS-12 it bubbled and started to peel when dry.
I believe the spray is lacquer and I'm not sure which primer I used. It could've been Rustoleum or Tamiya. I don't remember.

I don't have an answer to what I see other than to sand it down oh so carefully, scuff up the bare plastic with used 220 grit or finer. Spray the paint into a cup and work it on with a soft brush.

I do spray the whole thing in one coat. Maybe a couple of light coats is the answer? IDK
I have always painted in one coat and this is the first time this has happened. It is a different paint though.

Well ,
that crinkling looks like if an additional coat , or more , is sprayed over too quickly atop the first coat .
That stuff is mega-solvent heavy --> https://www.hobbyco.net/content/files/msds/86501-86532 msds as.pdf
and if it's overtopped too quickly there's enough solvent still in the lower coat(s) to push up thru the new film .
But ,
if that's only one coat I have know idea what's up unless you're spraying it on too heavy , which behaves the same , the surface starts forming a film while the excess paint beneath is still full of all that solvent that hasn't made it out
I know you let the primer fully cure , so we know that isn't the culprit , and that means it's not from a surface contaminate .
High humidity will do that too
Temperature extremes ,
Anything that causes the surface to dry much faster than the uncured thickness below it .

1/48 scale bombers? Yeah, they're big. Pffftt…. you haven't seen any of the 1/32 scale bomber kits. Avro Lancaster, B-17 Flying Fortress, B-24 Liberator….
I really want the Lancaster and the B-17…
