Did you build it then paint or did you paint as you build it

that maybe so but it doesn't half make a difference when cutting etc and fortunately if you buy a full set of eduard photo etch for say the 1/24 scale typhoon it can cost approximately £80 where as a full set of photo etch. resin and a few other auxiliaries it will cost you about £50 to 70 for the full set you can buy it singly but it works a lot more

I use photo etch for almost all of my builds especially my 1/12 Moto GP kits now the extra detail kits you can get for these kits are coated each side with a plastic cover so not only do your parts not fly off when you cut them they stay in place one car kit I built you didn't even have to cut the parts from the fret it was already done for you so all you have to do is peel the top layer of plastic off then peel the etch part you want off the backing strip. Let's just hope that one day other manufacturers of etch parts catch on to this in the very near future
