hi guys

i just found this site and want to ask a few q's. i know this would of probably been asked a millions times before so dont bite my head off ok

right ive been building R/c cars for a while now and always wanted a collection of my alltime favourate cars( namely the rally cars).i would never of been able to do this with r/c cars due to their costs and its quite a waste to build them just for show so i thought id start collecting 1/24 (esp tamiya kits).

well ive always been putting off getting one until a week ago a couple of friends bought me one to start me off. its a repsol escort RS cosworth. its been sitting there for few days now and ive read through the instructions but i really dont wanna mess it up. im gonna go buy the paints tomorrow and so glue but i really really would appreciate some tips. it really does seem harder to build this then a R/c car.

it would seem a lot of modellers on here have a good selection of cars which is what i want to have .

so taking me a a complete novice

where do u glue the parts together
how do u get best results painting
how do u get the sticker sets to set properely
how long does it roughly take to built complete and properely

any help will be much appreciated
