An enamel or acrylic base with thin, even coats produces best results; use masking for complex camouflage and allow thorough drying between coats.
Use low tack masking tape cut to fit the frames or pre-cut masks if available; paint the canopy after masking to protect clear parts from overspray.
Polystyrene cement is ideal for most joins; thin CA is useful for tiny fittings and quick tack joins, used sparingly to avoid fogging clear parts.
Yes, decal softening and setting solutions help decals conform to panel lines and raised detail; apply on a gloss surface for best adhesion and finish.
Keep the model away from direct sunlight, dust regularly with a soft brush and avoid touching painted surfaces to preserve the finish.
