>>10067882>the problem is if you apply them WITHOUT PAINT or TOPCOATYou can have both PAINT and TOPCOAT and it can still make it into a tiniest gap by cappillary effect and then you get pic related right at the end of your build.
The correct answer is not PAINT or TOPCOAT, it's CEMENT. Bare plastic where parts are glued together will not crack, painted plastic where parts are snapped together will crack. Simple.
