Araldite
Must agree it is easier to paint with the turrets off, been down that road (perhaps not with this exact kit ) and modified the turrets to slip in after all the painting and just white glued in place.
Unless really want the turrets to turn to enhance your Vroom, Vroom flying around the room experience
Looking forward to seeing this

Just sprayed some black into the wheel wells & around the Putty-Sand area & there is only a little "r" to finish it off, & that is really only a touch more "s".
After that I need to get the turrets in, & the cockpit glazing on, so I can start the camo. This is a problem as it would be easier to paint the plane without the turrets. However, if I do that, there are parts that need to be fitted after the turrets are in to secure them in place & these, I'm sure, will need a certain amount of PSR to get to fit properly.
Plus all that masking!
Plus the turrets need a bucket-load of work to get them ready to fit because, of course, I'm modifying them, aren't I.
