Hi all,

im new to modelling. Im actually doing a project now (1/48 F-14D aricraft kit)

i have few questions:

1. When do i spray the model? after finished assembly? or paint before assemble?
2. if im on budget (no enuf $$) is it advisable to go for tamiya spray can (the aerosol spray kind) OR use paint brush?

Thanks

spray can paint.
assemble first,Have an overall look at the model and how to approach the paint job. look for all the seams that need to be filled.
paint brushing needs practice and skills.. go for spray can if your in a hurry to paint your model.
