Received 1st delivery today. Was waiting for it to arrive before deciding whether or not to paint it and still not sure.

If I do paint it would it be best use an airbrush and paint each part as it arrives?

Does anyone know if there will be painting instructions included?

Any advice and ideas would be appreciated.

Mr T,

Can you advise on this? Unsure

Sorry Graham for not coming back to you sooner but have been away on hol.

Despatch 09 contains the body framework and body panels, whree the bonnet is also added into the assembly.

By the end of stage 35 where the bodywork is almost complete, there is no instruction to paint. I suspect it is provided after despatch 09 as likely there are further items to add.

The bodyshell is one unit by the end of stage 35, but I would hold off painting until it is clearer on what else is to be added.
For now I would not worry too much about painting, as in this instance it is better to paint the bodyshell as one unit rather than panel by panel, which is where the instructions seem to be heading.

Thanks Mr T - Hope you enjoyed your break.

I'll follow your advice as it's not gone wrong in the past.
