Thank you everyone for the advice - greatly appreciated.

So...I’m hearing that one of the key messages here is to assemble it and then paint??? I’ve never really done this before - I’ve always found that painting as I assemble was a better strategy. I suspect that there are going to be lots of new learnings with this kit!

Thank you for a fabulous reply - greatly appreciated! Anyone Else with a view?

Hi all, I've just finished a 1/340 Bismarck and (given on-going lock-downs) have now decided to push-myself a little with a Bandai Millenium Falcon Perfect Grade 1/72. As such, I'm on here looking for help and advice from anyone who has already completed this. I've read lots of articles and watched lots of videos but still have lots of questions! Hoping for some answers to these: - What are the best sources for articles and videos of other people's builds? - Everything I've seen suggests that no-one paints this with brushes, it's all sprayed. Is this right? - And everyone seems to assemble then spray (rather than spray parts before assembly). Is this right too? - Do people use the waterslide decals or do they paint instead? Why? - Does anyone use the included stickers? - Does anyone use the included photo-etched metal parts or do they upgrade? - What are the best 3rd party add-on's? Are they necessary? - The plastic means that you can only use acrylic paints. Any brand/range recommendations? Thank you very much in anticipation...
