OK, I was just curious to see what the experts here do / think. Is there a special trick to putting the vehicle back together after painting it? I did a coat of primer, 3 coats of the paint, and 2 coats of the clear coat to seal it.
The only problem I've had is that the smaller weapon accessories lost some of the paint when putting it back together. It's only noticeable if you go looking for it really, but it just seemed like the paint made the connecting joints much tighter and therefore the paint rubbed off. Did I use too many coats? Did I not let it dry long enough? I let things dry for at least 4 hours in between each coat / priming / sealing. The main body pieces came out real sweet looking. It's just the missiles that slide into things and some of the smaller things that connect like the skis. I don't think I'll have this problem with my next one because I'll just be painting the body of a Hiss Tank, which is basically one piece and the part that connect to the treads won't need to be painted.
