 Subject:  Re: Tools - fit before painting or after?List thread.

here's what i would do:
1. paint the base coat, leaving out the tools.
2. glue the tools to the hull, but only lightly, as i would take it off again later (step3)
3. spray the tank colour and camo colours, if any, over the whole tank including the fixed tools. this is so that the tool clasps are exactly the same colour and tone with the tank colour. this is more important if your'e painting camo.
4. take off the tools and paint them separately.
5. put the tools on the tank again.
6. spray flat coat on the whole model.
