Airfix Kit
when doing airfix or revell Model Kits do u paint each part before assembly or after?

do i paint before assembly or after, im currently doing a revell apollo astronaught and some bits would prob be better off being painted before i attatch them but whats the best way.also whats the deal with my kit has some paints with it but the box shows blue on the astronaughts camera and red as well, i have no blue or red. is this normal, means me spending more on paints

For the last 20+ years, I've been at LEAST primer-painting everything before assembly, and with most models, I'll paint the base-color as well before assembly.

For small items it's almost always best to paint before assembly, and or to paint small assemblies (eg- build the engine and paint before adding to the rest of model).

I use spray-paints and my airbrush... then just take a #11 Xacto blade to gently scrape clean those surfaces that JOIN... plastic glue (cement) doesn't work well through paint.

NICE that you get SOME paint in the kit !! I'm my 35 years of modelling, I've never had paint come with a kit !!

GOOD LUCK !!
