AWAITING MEMBERSHIP ACTIVATION OR ACCIDENTALLY BANNED?-----PLEASE READ----------- G'day All,----- Sorry for putting this in here but I thought it was the most likely place for most people to see it, and it seems that some may still not be reading the "sticky notes" posted at the top of the major forums.----- If you are waiting to have you membership at Zone Five activated or if you have found your account has been banned accidentally;----- We have a problem with large numbers of spammers trying to access the site using bogus registrations, and we are taking measures to try and ensure that only valid members are allowed access.----- In order to help us with this, it would be greatly appreciated if you could include some relevant information, of your own choice, in the personal details section of your profile.

It is a Revell Corsair F4U-4 i guess i should have asked this before oh well is it better to paint the part first or later after you get each step put together? I have gotten as fare as the seat and the pilot photos will come soon i have been taking them as i go

Hi Big John,

You may have already figured this out on your own, but things like the interior parts are best painted before assembly. Another thing, an airbrush will speed up the painting process considerably, if you have access to one. Don't worry too much about painting areas that are probably not gonna show.

Things like engines, wheels, propellers should be treated as "mini-models" in themselves and are best cleaned up, painted, and weathered separately and added at the end of construction, which i call the "End Game".

The basic airframe (fuselage, wing, tail, cowling (If you can temporarily install it without the engine), canopy) should be integrated together in most cases and then painted as a complete unit.

Does that help? We're here if you need us.

Cheers,

david
