What's this?

RTFM! There may be subassemblies that need to be glue before paint


Just read ahead in the directions and see what goes together, what stays more or less the same color, etc. That will help you plan what to paint.

For spraying really small parts I use a little piece of masking tape.

If you are going to brush you can use a very thin hot needle and push it into a side of the part that will not be seen. That will give you a better handle.

Here's one I finished a couple years back. Took about 3 months working an hour or so a night
