Once again
http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=401357 Tamiya acrylics are soft, yes, but can definately be polished out. The softness isn't really a disadvantage (as it makes them easier to polish after sanding)- it's just something you have to be careful with.

Your worst enemy is fingerprints with acrylics.

Try polishing it out now. I usually only wait a day or so before polishing acrylics. Yes, it may be a bit soft, but it can certainly be done. If it is soft, the paint may take fingerprints if you press hard- so be careful and hold the body from the inside.
