Multi colour carriage painting question

Post by Spule 4 » Sat Nov 17, 2012 6:55 am

All-

I have an IP carriage kit here i wish to paint in a multi colour scheme including the panels and door window frame.

The question is, sand, paint seal and assenble, with any touchup needed afterwards, or build up the coach and paint and mask?

Something along these lines is the idea:

If it was me, I'd be tempted to paint the whole coach in the brownish colour before assembly, then add the white bits afterwards. Knowing what the I.P kits are like, to paint it all before could be difficult.

With the 2 I've built I painted the sides and overlays separately before assembly and painted the window frames before fitting them.

This gives some details, along with one of my SMT issues:
