I agree with MusicCity . I leave off such things as tools , tracks , wheels and tires etc. If the seats are separate parts then i paint them separately .

That's going to vary with virtually every model you build.  Personally I try to get as much assembled as possible because it's difficult to impossible to clean up glue joints and seams without disturbing the paint.  I also prefer to paint in sections as large as possible to avoid slight differences in paint shade.

Hello folks, I'm just curious as to what point you reach before you airbrush your models' hull or body?

I am working on a couple models... a Willys jeep by Hasegawa, and a Chevelle by amt.

 obviously with the Velle Iam going to paint the body seperate, but with the Willys I am trying to decide. should I complete as much of the body as I can.. to include  grab handles, etc.   or should t be a paint everything olive drab, go back and paint smaller parts of different colors.. i.e. the canvas cusions and the tool handles... then do final assembly?

 

thanks for the replies to obvious new guy concerns.
