Hey /toy/,
I got a model M-18 Hellcat for Christmas, and I'm super excited to get into it and start building. I read though some of the guides from the OP, but I had a few questions before I started.
To start, is a normal x-acto knife, side-cut pliers, fine-grain sandpaper, and tweezers good?
Pic related is the paint I got, it's enamel and doesn't contain all the colors needed in the instructions. I'm not super picky on details yet and don't want to buy new paint if it's not ideal, as long as it'll look alright. If I were to buy new colors for the ones not included, should I stick with enamel for my first build?
Do I paint before I attach the pieces?
Is the Testors liquid cement in the black bottle good to start?
I'm supposed to clean the sprues in warm slightly soapy water, right?
From what I've read, general process seems to be:
Cut from sprues, sand down the excess from cutting off, paint if needed, test-fit a few times, glue it and wait to dry, then continue.
I think that's about all I had, all advice is warmly welcomed.
Thanks /toy/!
