Wow that is a brilliant paint job! And the panel lines on the side caused by the seperate parts are not visible at all. Did you putty them or is it important to just not put a dark wash on?
Thank you everyone for the compliments!
I glued the parts of the sides one by one and cleaned the panel lines. And then I used just a little bit of putty to fill the seam lines.
As for washing, I think it's okay because since the panels are red, it would not be obvious.
