So I am working on my third build, (Revell 1/48 F-18F). This will be the first I do using an airbrush. the previous builds were done using good old Tamiya sprays.
So my question is this, how much to build before painting the base coat? Right now I have the fuselage, cockpit, nose, ailerons, and stabilizers on... should I put the weapon pylons on or wait? I figure I'll buld the antenna etc before as well, what about the tail-hook? All those little stabilizers etc..
Any tips? Hoping to avoid learning lessons the hard-way!
