use primer ..... its a must.... at first i ignore this and i got really bad results... i dun really use plastic cement... i prefer crazy glue... but hey its all the same...
just remeber the small details like warming the can before spraying... adn giving it a light spray and you should do fine!!.... and when you are talking about putty which kind are you talkin about

Umm...

You should seriously get some Tamiya masking tape for those little details, but remember, if this is your first kit, go easy on it, and make sure you don't get so fustrated that you quit, also if possible, buy a can of "patience"
