Just before we get to painting – add the Photo Etch (PE)
You get a decent PE fret with this kit and when it’s all on, the model starts to look the part and remember, the guns still need to be added and the plan is to add them at the end, after much, if not all of the painting and weathering is done. You’ll want to avoid damaging these delicate resin items.
