It wasn't to bad. I got a few rolls from amazon. I'm amazed how much hobby supplies they have. Wish there was a local store though. I'd pay a little extra to support a local business.

Yeah agreed thats with just about anything. Gonna do a P-50 before I hit up the viper should knock the rust off. But I see what your saying just always thinking about the final painting. Ive been experimenting with different tapes. Ive found the scotts painter blue tape to work best so far. Any othe...

Yeah it's big enough you don't have to worry. Except the cockpit might paint it first. Trying to wait till in get my airbrush stuff to start.

Iwata is a great brand but you certainly pay for it lol. But I suppose if you only have to buy one once its worth the price.

When to paint?

Last model I made I painted most of it then assembled but that didn't go so well. I'm wondering if it might be better to assemble all then paint or assemble some sections and paint them for a final assembly. Tips?

I don't like to do a lot of shopping around so I'm looking for one good all around kit. (hose, guns, etc) master seems to have a lot of these but idk the brand seems cheaply made. Any advice or links would be appreciated.
