Unhappy First model ever

This is the first model that I have ever built. Please give any and all advise. I do have one question for the people that put multiple coats of paint on their car. What do you do to get the window to fit right. When it came to put the windows in they just did not want to go becasue of the multiple coat of paint.

Cool

Your model is great!!! As for the paint ?, Use thin coats until you get the coverage you need, don't overdo it.

test fit the windows before painting. If it seems a little snug, or has a tiny bit of space, sand it down, this way, the thickness of the paint doesnt affect it.

Yes it is my first model. I had printed out all of the FAQ's and read them before I even started. So I guess I owe a Thanks to all who had a hand in the FAQ's.

Looks great. You should be proud of your decaling abilities especially.

Very nice, if you hadn't of said, I would never of guessed that it is your first!

Good to see you read the faqs, it seems a lot of people haven't been recently (judging by the posts).

I agree with others - that's very nice work for your first model. Reading the FAQ does pay off...
