I'm on my second build
By no means an expert but tips I have seen online ...- wash the plastic beforehand, gets rid of grease. Warmish soapy water, not too hot or it'll warp the plastic
- use a side cutter to cut out the pieces, try and cut as far from the piece as possible to avoid stressing the plastic. File down and smooth with a fine 'polish bar'bought this kit...
https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/pr…- i'm painting the pieces before assembly, it's a slow process but along with a smoke and some music ...
- unless the stickers are water transferable, not bothered ... the dry transfer ones leave an outline and don't look as good
- panelling - imo, it's worth doing - apply with pen, you dont need to be too accurate as you can rub off excess ink with a rubber
- depending on your eyesight, get a desktop magnifying glass - fucking handythis was the first WIP
