PE question.........

All,

Just thinking about the addition of a Photoetch set to my Tamiya Dewoitine........

Since I've never used PE, I wondered if I might garner a few tips from the experts....

I've seen posts on using clear enamel as an adhesive, which sounds like a good idea. Seems to me that gluing most of the parts in place before painting, especially if the parts are to be the same color as the cockpit, would be the best way to approach most of the work, right????

Too, with such things as seatbelts and harnesses, would it work better to glue them into place after the seat has been painted, and afterwards painting the belts by hand?????

Further, it also seems to me that an acrylic primer over already affixed brass parts would be the best way to go, to avoid the trouble and necessity of sanding, etc.????

Please let me know if I'm on the right track........... I realize that some of these questions might call for common sense answers, but I want to gain knowledge from the expertise of the master modelers of this forum.........and do it right the first time.

Thanks a million,
