Hello Lancaster630,
Nice interpretation of "BLYMP", Thanks for sharing.
I haven't painted a model in over 25 years.
I just came back to the hobby about three years ago.
I'm very "Old School"! I use to paint my parts while they were still on the sprue
and tried very carefully to lightly break them away before assembly. No matter how careful I was,
I still always managed to end up with little tits or even worse,
little craters that might require filling if I was worried enough (I wasn't!).
While studying the builds of fellow forumites,
I've noticed that it seems popular to dry fit and assemble most peices before painting.
I can see the wisdom in this and look forward to working it in with what I am still learning.
It looks like the middle wings didn't want to slide all of the way home for you on this build,
dry fitting and then painting after assembly would take care of that.
I have several kits in various stages of dry fitting, just waiting for my paint brush.
Oh ya, that's another thing, some of these guys think that we all use air brushes!
Keep up the Good Work, FOKKERJ
