Re: 1/8 Porsche 956
Hello Jesus,
Yes - my father always says that he likes it when I finally start painting the parts (even just some grey primer), as it makes everything look 'together' rather than individual pieces. I don't like painting too early, though; I know that some of the parts will receive a lot of handling during the build process, and it's frustrating to have to keep re-painting and touching-up. I also try to avoid gluing to a painted surface - possibly less of an issue at smaller scales where there isn't too much weight involved, but at 1/8 things start to get (relatively) heavy!
My big worry is how flexible the main bodywork can be, and whether this will result in filler cracking and flaws in the paintwork - I had a couple of areas on the 935-78 that needed to be re-done. Hopefully I can get as much of the model assembled as possible before having to add the painted bodywork, so it doesn't have to be repeatedly fitted, removed, fitted, removed again..!
