I find when building and painting these kits in some cases when assembling painted parts I will use liquid mask on the joining points prior to painting so I don’t have to scrape them clean before gluing. The mask comes off easy with a tooth pick. Obviously on the larger structural parts.
You might be right but I find I have good success with a soft one. But as you can see I did end up using the stiffest brush possible- the fibre glass pen😃 I think what happens. It’s all the variables can make it more difficult. If you don’t put enough hairspray on you put too much on your paint layers too thick stuff like that can affect how it chips
i have a tip for you. i see you want to chip. what i always do smear it with water wait 30 seconds and take a toothpick. and then very lightly you can remove the paint where you want.
Hi James, the chipping turned out really well. I need to do more of that on my models. Getting all those body panels to line up looks tricky. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day. Jeff
First class work, most impressive interior details!

Chipping best done with STIFF brush.

You think that was annoying? Wait till you get to the rear fenders. Lol. You breath on them wring, they'll fall off. Lol. Advice? Put them on last.
I have the fenders on already but I don't think there was too much of an issue- stay tuned!
